Up to a point, but I don't think breeding on plantations was the primary cause.

If selection happened anywhere it was at the slaving posts in West Africa. Slave traders would only be buying what they could reasonably assume would survive the trip to the US/Caribbean and sell for a good price when they arrived.

the trip across the atlantic was also a serious selection, large percentages died, even if that might have as much to do with weather and placement and leght of trip

Yes. It's happening right now too. The smartest and the ones who have long-term thinking traits will succeed and isolated relatively than the rest of the blacks.

The truth is that the slavery put a social selection of the conformist and frivolous people which get to live under pathetic status, and the ones who try to climb up, normally the assimilate the dominant class and get "white'd" or they get killed if the regime doesn't allow it.

Disingenuous map is disingenuous.

Let me give you a quick story

One side descends from the black American 1% (which was basically the white 5-10%). Some were free from the late 18th century and some were the enslaved and favored children of slave owners who had skills who only married other enslaved people of similar situations.

They are mostly poor today, basically what got them that high up economically was the vast majority of black people being uneducated and actively oppressed/marginalized. When things changed for other black people and when blacks could freely go to white stores, move to white owned buildings and go to white owned places that side lost their power.

Other side was poor and largely illiterate sharecroppers and subsistence farmers being freed at the time of the civil war and in poverty until the 1960's

Most of that family there are now solidly middle and upper-middle class professionals in less than one generation.

People are stupid to think enslaved people were put in similar situations, people are stupid to assume that enslaved people were just worked in some sterotyped fashion.

Take a look at the kinds of people sent to specific ports, you'll notice that regions of the Americas and US have concentrations of particular populations. That's by no accident.

The way enslaved people were utilized and the information they retained, the things they knew is astounding.

My grandfather has recordings of his great grandfather who was a young man when he was freed recount enslavement.

It's really not simple anon.

It's not disingenuous, it is just American specific.

It absolutely is disingenuous, as it completely disregards that the overwhelmingly majority of Black slaves were sent to South America and the Caribbean and implies they all went to the U.S. instead.

If the topic was the atlantic slave trade as a whole I would agree with you, but OP is clearly talking about slaves in the US.
The image even says "Slaves Arrivals on the North American Mainland".
In no way does it imply slaves weren't taken to the other parts of the American continent, it is merely focused on the Northern part.
It is like saying a map showing areas affected by malaria on Africa is being disingenous because we also find malaria in Asia and South America.
If the information is not pertinent to the subject at hand why should you include it?

>why it is that African-Americans are so dominant in American professional sports.
Because they disregard everything else, including school and actual education
