Answer 1

Answer: B.)They think that African Americans have benefited from slavery in terms of economic opportunities available to them in the United States.

Explanation:

Some opponents to the notion that descendants of enslaved people such as Walter Williams who is a black economist at George Mason University argue that slavery benefited African Americans because they have economic opportunities in the United States that they would not have had in Africa.
