As a black man in America in 2024, my life is way too easy to judge any of the actions of any black man during slavery.

 

[Falcozer]

The fact that so many black people are taking the words of some random white woman seriously is embarrassing

Anything goes when it's time to shyt on black men, dead or alive

Story, if true, would be the first EVER recorded instance of a TRUE Coli breh!

I thought this was the case for most of us but the replies got me fukked up. Like this should be getting way more backlash than likes.

Am I wrong here, should this slave be shamed for his actions?

With how little people on Twitter read, are we sure this story is even true?

EDIT: So, the story isn't true of course

Had it been a woman who left her husband and child enslaved, the word "bedwench" would have been in the title.

At first I found this GIF funny, but then asked myself "how did the duck light the cigarette?". How does the duck hold a cigarette? And finally, I have never seen a real duck that was yellow.

James C.A. Smith’s accusations against Henry Brown, particularly regarding financial misconduct and alleged failure to help his family, appear to be driven by personal grievances rather than factual evidence. Brown’s real struggles included efforts to purchase his wife and children, dealing with extortion from slave owners, and the devastating uncertainty of his family’s location after being sold. Smith’s claims, therefore, should be viewed with skepticism, considering the context of Brown’s genuine hardships and the lack of corroborating evidence.

And it doesn't surprise me a white women is trying to establish agency to a gotdamn man who escaped slavery.

Notice NO heat for the fukking people who owned his wife and kids.

White women been trying to get off this "Slavery wasn't that bad for men," shyt for years.

Yes he should be shamed

But people are trying to make what he did a representation of black men as a whole which is wrong

\

Without doing any research (cuz it’s not true)

In what world in the 1800’s is a white man reasonably negotiating with a man he viewed as property? What money do you think a black man made at the time ?
