Your analogy is terrible and not even close to what I'm saying. And obviously you know nothing about indentured servitude if think it was as easy as a prison sentence. The death rate of many of the servants was incredibly high and most were treated like, well you know, slaves.

Even in today's modern world we have people who are called "indentured servants" but are really just slaves. Places like Qatar, Asia and Eastern Europe, even in our own country today there are people who are enslaved from other parts of the world.

Since you're so caught up with names, so were many of the sharecroppers post-Reconstruction not like slaves either? What do you think happened to many of the slaves slavethepost-Reconstruction? Many of them weren't technically slaves anymore, but they were permanently trapped in their contracts because of the Black Codes, so even after slavery "ended" many blacks were still enslaved.
.

I gave a vague response to a vague post. The anology was intended to compare time. Not activities or scope of work. I'm pretty sure the indentured servants didn't get to play basketball or watch Seinfeld.

None of what you said is breaking news to me. I know of what you speak on.

Your first post was vague and I assumed you didn't know the things you just articulated (that's where I was wrong). I hear that same response from a lot of certain people I work with so it strikes a nerve in me (Irish slavery = worse than black slavery camp).

Mam Lorenzo Neal was doing so much tap dancing on the San Francisco radio show this morning

That dude had to say black on black violence like 12 times in just 30 minutes.

"In this situation, I've really got nothing to lose," he said. "I'm a rookie free agent, haven't signed any major contract, so there's not a lot of money on the line, I don't have any big endorsement deals on the line. Really what's at stake is my pride and what kind of man would I be and what kind of African-American would I be if I didn't stand my ground on this issue we have today?"

Salute this kid Myke Tavarres :wow: Hope he makes the team.
