Cacs eagerly buy into the "happy slave" narrative

[Mr Rager]

Let me suggest owning one of these idiots who made those comments and see how outraged they become.

 

[Ziggiy]

You just can't fukking help yourself can you????

Now you're comparing working 40 hours a week to being ripped apart from your family and everything that you know and living constantly under the fear of harm or death?

@cook
Negtrain? Slavery was just a minor inconvenience to this guy.

Real talk he's the type of Cac who thinks that if Trayvon Martin would've pulled his pants up and was rocking a polo shirt then he'd be alive today.

 

[Mr Rager]

Also fear of punishment was the motivation for working hard, these cacs really believe people were proud to be slaves

 

[DaPresident]

Man more of this bull crap? SMH


Slavery only lasted 40...I meant 4 years. Soon as Abe Lincoln came in and ended slavery, he also ended all forms of racism with it as well. Abe Lincoln for Black History Month President

Son...

I'd bet money that these people are from the South or the east coast of America. These are probably the same cacs who say the Confederate flag is about "heritage, not hate." Yeah, your black woman-raping, black man-lynching, black baby killing families' heritage WAS of hate.

Only in America have I heard cacs say slaves were happy. Every other place knows if you're a slave, you could never be happy.

Keep on thinkin that

That's so they can feel better when they claim now that "blacks are lazy"

 

[Beck.er.]

from the beginning of human society becoming organized slavery was an institutional norm for around ten thousand years in every region of the world

Chattel slavery, inheritable and based on race/continental origins was a unique development to the Americas

it's mind boggling that its only been a few hundred years that slavery has been abolished

Where?
It has been 150 years in the US.
143 in Puerto Rico
130 in Cuba
128 in Brazil
And that is merely de jure slavery, de facto slavery not far removed from pre-abolition conditions persisted across the Americas for generations.

and a lot of times its human nature to make the best of your situation if you grew up and this was considered life you coped and focused on things that made you happy if not you lose your will to live that's all I was saying is that on the outside slave owners may have thought their slaves were happy and slaves themselves without knowing any better may have felt the same way

Sources from the time indicate fear and paranoia were widespread in slaveholding communities along with explicit distrust of the humans they owned.

European visitors wrote of the constant underlying tensions, the implications of secret communication streams and duplicity amongst the enslaved, the quick instances noted of their carefully modulated masks slipping to reveal intellect and craft, disdain and revulsion, resentment and plain hatred.

Slave narratives reveal how many of the enslaved truly felt about the institution.

The massive migration of blacks after the war, the huge number of contraband during the war, the flood of applicants when the Union Army created black units, the spies, the runaways, the clear indications of collusion/complex systems organizing flight attempts, the rampant arson, the theft, the illness and poisonings... give evidence as to the level of contentment

Sad thing is, there are many black Americans today who would cosign that Matthew Roach comment

Let me guess

You're an African right? Never pass up a chance to shyt on black Americans

 

[Beck.er.]

They were not. They were indentured servants who were given rights and property. They were also criminals most of the time, and indentured servitude was a sentence they VOLUNTEERED FOR.

And if they survived their indenture they were free.
All their future generations did not inherit that status.
They weren't denied rights, social/economic mobility, basic personhood based on their race.

slavery was an awful point in humanity but its so hard for us to perceive it through the lens of history because its such a foreign concept to us...but from the beginning of human society becoming organized slavery was an institutional norm for around ten thousand years in every region of the world...it's mind boggling that its only been a few hundred years that slavery has been abolished

and a lot of times its human nature to make the best of your situation if you grew up and this was considered life you coped and focused on things that made you happy if not you lose your will to live that's all I was saying is that on the outside slave owners may have thought their slaves were happy and slaves themselves without knowing any better may have felt the same way

I am in no way condoning slavery or excusing it I don't understand the need to berate and disrespect me i'm just trying to rationalize how people may have felt and how they may have justified what they did

Says the same dude who was vehemently defending Hulk Hogan.

You're a racist fukkboy

It is true that we do get discriminated on based on what we wear. I'm told all the time I look menacing in my hoodie. This is a real thing in white supremacy
