I don't know about alot of y'all, but I remember early in elementary school up until 4th grade, every year we'd take these "field" trips to cotton farms and pick cotton for a good time .
I don't know if all southern schools did this, but we sure as hell did at mine here in South C@c (ironically, alot of us actually call it that and it's not a derogatory term for whites like it is in the Coli, it's short for South Cackalacky, a nickmane for the state.........a notoriously stubborn slave state ).
Alot of them still had old slave quarters and outhouses for historical purposes :vickcmon:. My school was pretty much mixed with all colors, but alot of us were black and it didn't register with us how messed up those "field" trips were until we got older. Maybe we shouldn't have been having that much fun pickin' cotton
Man, for that kind of paper, I'd do it barefoot wearing nothing but overalls......I'd be talkin' all day in a stereotypical-ass, loud-ass slave voice like the tall bear in this
And I'd be dancin' around happy as hell and singin' my lil freestyle slave ditties, talkin' about.....
"OHHHHHH I'S BE PICKIN' THAT COTTON!!
IN THAT HOT-ASS SUMMER HEAT!!
IIIII'S PICKIN' IT UP FO' MASSA!
AND SCRUB ME MAMA WITH A BOO-OOO-OOOOGIE BEAT!!"
Millions of black people died during the journey to the U.S. on the slave ships. Who knows how many slaves were killed by their slave masters after they arrived here. Slavery was much more than "working", thats one of the dumbest things i've ever heard, slaves were beaten ruthlessly and treated like shyt and the women were constantly raped. To minimize the hardships slaves endured and to merely sum it up as "working" is absolutely disgraceful.
