man spat facts.
Let's consider this though.
Slavery did a number on my people mentally, socially and spiritually, but for one minute, consider the nature of the people who enacted these crimes.
You know who they had working on plantations and colonies before us?
White people.
They had white folks - the poor, the thieves, the criminals. They would pack them in ships, the same way they packed us in ships, and send them to the islands to work as indentured servants. So a form of slavery. But never OWNERSHIP. When the white criminal's sentence was over, they could get a patch of land and start over.
They practised this shyt on their OWN people, and perfected it on us.
With us though, it was OWNERSHIP, we were a piece of property. At one stage during the crossover from indentured servant to slave, we were actually treated better than the white indentured servant. We worked harder, produced more, and they owned us for life. We were simply a better investment.
The same people who would advocate for the fair treatment of white indentured servants because of the teachings of the Bible, found loopholes in the SAME Bible to justify keeping us in slavery, yet I am supposed to be guided by those teachings?
I respectfully disagree.
