Slavery is not THE problem breh. The creation and propagation of 'Brand Black' is.

Not the Moorish nomenclature stuff, please. Just claim sovereignty under this law because black indicates you’re property, etc.? Good luck if that’s what you mean.

It's not. I mean what I said (well posted).

More than 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, there were black people in the Deep South who had no idea they were free. These people were forced to work, violently tortured, and raped.

Blacks Were Enslaved Well into the 1960s



Absolutely horrifying

I skimmed the article. Can you or anyone else tell me whether the article mentioned or accounted for the 12 years after the Civil War?

If it doesn't, it's a bogus article.

No, it doesn't. Care to elaborate?

You’re preaching to the choir. I’ve been telling people for years about the 13th amendment before the documentary came out. Realize we have a lot of negroes afraid to change things.

Black community has a lot of house negros who don't want us to rock the boat.

thanks.
From roughly the end of the civil war to the 1877...Reconstruction was going on the American South. Northern soldiers and administrators were in charge down there enforcing federal laws. Not much different than post WW2 Japan or Germany when American military (&Allies) occupied.

Certainly things were harsh for Blacks in the South still, but if the article is saying that there was a steady line of slavery that was unbroken in the South through the 1960s, I'm gonna have to call BS.

That Reconstruction isn't mentioned in the article at all tells me most of what I need to know.

I will give you a little time to try and work it out for yourself.

Shut the fukk up. You give no fukks about ending slavery it's obvious.

The article doesn't claim that slavery was active throughout the entire south until the 1960's. You should read it before writing it off completely, it is horrifying and heartbreaking in equal measure.

Yeah I heard this

Also heard that in some places in the South slavery still exists

This white girl from Alabama once told me that her family had an old black male "slave" when she was a little girl, which had to have been in the 80s at the latest, based on her age. As she was telling me this, she seemed very upset, and close to tears (we were both high). This chick was pretty ditzy, so at the time I assumed that this man, if he existed, must have been a servant or butler or something her family employed that for some reason in her childhood memory she thought of as a "slave".

But now I wonder.

I don't think it's far fetched that every nook and cranny of the South during that time was not reached. And these people seemed like they were sharecroppers anyway. They werent slaves technically, but still treated like slaves.

The topic is very real, and shouldn't be news to anybody here. I've mentioned the documented horrors of the jim crow south many times on this site.....
I immediately raised a red flag when I saw that it was Vice,though. How one writes an article about the horrors of post Civil War South for Black folks without mentioning Reconstruction is beyond me. Will read again though
