D'Souza: African-Americans Better Off Because Ancestors Were 'Hauled From Africa To America'

ERIC LACH – JUNE 30, 2014, 10:06 AM EDT

The reviews are in. Or the review, anyway. And Dinesh D'Souza's new film, "America: Imagine a World Without Her," has been proclaimed "the perfect film to take the family to on a Fourth of July," according to National Review.

In a review published Sunday, National Review's John Fund said the movie, along with the accompanying book, delivers "a more polished and more powerful message" than D'Souza's 2012 film 2016: Obama's America. Fund gives D'Souza much credit for "wielding his sword at so many PC dragons in one sitting."

“Did America owe something to the slaves whose labor had been stolen?” D'Souza writes in the book, according to Fund. The answer is yes, but “that debt ... is best discharged through memory, because the slaves are dead and their descendants are better off as a consequence of their ancestors being hauled from Africa to America.”

When it comes to Native Americans, D'Souza writes that "Indians have gotten a bad deal.”
