I mean I’m sure the average nigger was happier when they were on the plantations, at least compared to today.
That's something modern history censors completely: actual stories from the slaves themselves.
Some were treated well and loved their lives. Others were just treated as breeding stock. A lot of it was down to the particular states and territories.
The books of folk songs put together by Alan Lomax has a lot of interviews with former slaves, and some of them speak very highly of that period of their lives.
It's certainly no worse than debt slavery in a culture whose family life has been obliterated and where gangs fulfill the role of father.
Well said. Jesse Lee Peterson grew up in that era and worked on a cotton farm. He speaks well of his experience and those at that time.
We all is slaves to the banksters - every man jack one of us. Those young males KIA in our foreign wars were the skillet blackest of all.
Slavery still exists today.
Every single person beholden to the Western Worlds financial sophistry is a slave, and owns nothing.
Those free of it, however..
Well before all of their liberation and gains in freedom with the civil rights movement, the rate of violence in their community was much lower, murders were lower, rapes were lower, unemployment was lower, there was actually less of a wage gap, they were more educated, healthier by most metrics... Owned homes!
Some of their communities were pretty damn respectable, actually. Black people from 100 years ago would probably hate modern blacks as much as you people do.
Thank God liberals helped them, yeah?
