African Americans: How does it feel to come from a heritage where there were slaves in your ancestry in the U.S.A.?

I recently thought, how must it feel to come from slavery? I’ve had many African American friends through my life time and haven’t thought of how it might feel coming from that background.

I don’t mean this to be offensive by any means. So please everyone refrain from silly answers, would just love to hear perspective on the matter.
