[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] The fish bone that sticks in the throat: The mortality toll for the Atlantic crossing ranged from 75% to 85%. For blacks/Africans on both sides of the Atlantic were there ever feelings of "survivors's guilt"? For blacks whose ancestors survived the terror of Atlantic crossings and the cruelties of captivity the goal has mostly been to seek equality with Europeans who hold power in those societies. The Atlantic crossers were always looking East while their survivors are bent on looking West. The same for the historically important Haiti now reduced to abject penury by the cruel punishments from France and the U.S. The goal of the average Haitian still dominated by French creole metis and a Syrian business class is to escape to the U.S. Given the history, is this the noble thing to do? What would the spirits of those swallowed by the Atlantic say? [/QB][/QUOTE]
