Seeing slavery through a racial lense

:skip:



This is why they are mad. We’ve never taken revenge, and have no intention to do so. Other than the Muslim terrorists, nobody even comes for white people like that. They’re terrified of everyone hating them because they know exactly what they did, and know what they would have done had it happened to them.

My family.

The first “African American” baby born on what would later be considered US soil was William Tucker.

Born to Antonio and Isabella right here in Hampton, VA on what’s now called Bluebird Gap Farm.

We’ve never left.

Great series of essay especially the essay highlighting the wealth that cotton brought to the country and the financing of cotton to slaveholders and the use of enslaved Africans as collateral for secured debts in addition to European banking institutions financing the growth of cotton while in those countries slavery was already abolished
