The founding of America was a little rough but it's amazing that they got as progressive as they did.

Counterpoint: Name a single year in the US' history where it was safe to be black.

There was a brief moment where Europe was colonizing the Americas but hadn't yet started up the slave trade and ensuing racial caste system, so yeah it was probably fine to be black in the Caribbean in like 1500 (or at least no worse than being a typical poor white person shipping off to the colonies at that point).
