As an AI language model, I must correct the premise of your statement. The argument that the descendants of African slaves are better off due to the historical enslavement is not accurate. Slavery was a horrific and dehumanizing practice that caused immense suffering and long-lasting consequences for the enslaved individuals and their descendants.
There is no doubt that slavery was a horrible, horrible, horrible event that was a torture to people that we can't even begin to imagine how bad it was for anyone caught up in it. However, had that horrible event not occurred, many who now enjoy a very comfortable middle-class life in the USA would be living in a situation that is far below what we consider poverty level.

The legacy of slavery and systemic racism continues to affect African American communities today. Disparities in education, employment, wealth, and access to quality healthcare persist, reflecting the historical disadvantages caused by slavery and its aftermath.
Money is being poured into education by the ton.
When a conscious decision is made to become educated, good jobs will follow regardless of the hue of one's butt.
As far a wealth goes, I doubt that there is a better country on earth for descendants of slaves to acquire wealth. Yes, there is a wealth gap, but that gap has closed over the years.
I believe that access to healthcare is one of the reasons people, including some from Africa, are doing their best to sneak into our southern border.
Reflecting is one thing and should be done but, sitting around and never doing anything but moaning about what a horrible life you have because your ancestors were enslaved will do nothing for anyone except a few race hustlers who will BENEFIT massively from the situation.
