Slavery happened in America because Black people turned away from God. When they turned back to God, slavery ended. Now Black people are turning away from God again...what do you think is going to happen next?!

I am reasonably certain, that were peoples of Africa the most devout Christians under the sun, slavery in America still would have happened. And it still would have involved 'importing' a couple million people.
They're going to do the Hokey Pokey.
If Mack read his own book, he would realize that his god likes the idea of slavery. I'm not talking about this nice "indentured servitude" which was the requirement for Jews enslaving Jews. I'm talking about the whole "You're my property." chattel slavery.
Even though Christians captured, sold and bought slaves. Even though black people aren't indigenous to the Americas. Even though the people of Africa aren't/weren't Christians in the first place. If people of any race are turning from God, it's because God isn't doing it for them. Take it up with God. And do some actual historical studies while you are at it. Because even by your standards, you sound very stupid.
I'm thinking that his argument hinges on the idea that long ago, everyone worshipped the god of the bible, and then at some point (maybe after the tower of Babel incident) many groups of people kind of forgot god existed and started worshipping demons, including most African cultures. As punishment for this, their descendants were forced into chattel slavery... a few thousand years later.
So black people apparently won't need to worry about anything for quite awhile.
Someone clearly didn't watch "Roots".
And it's available on DVD, so there's no excuses, Peterbilt Minor.
