Few Blacks who became americans through the medium of slavery, have managed to escape the stigma of barbarian influence. Unfortunately for us as descendants, there was little or no consideration given to dignity, equality, or fair play, then or now. The enslavement of Blacks was no accident. We were the chosen people, so to speak, perfectly suited for the needs of the country at the time. We were of the right temperament, gullible, easily adaptable, and we took great pride in our accomplishments, what ever they were. Nothing is 100%, so there were a few who either would not break, or weren't worth the effort. They were used as examples. If the WILLIE LYNCH SYNDROME is a myth, so is slavery, as we knew it to be then and as we know it to be now.
