I would shine Master's shoes, and sing Negro Spirituals. On God I'l be out there hitting them notes "Wade in the water, Don't you know that God's gonna trouble the water" They would hate me on the field, I'm reporting Harriet Tubman 'ol Underground Railroad head ass, I'm reporting Django if he trying to kill Master :youngsabo:

$1,000 an hour? I'd work 365 straight 8 hour days.

Let's calculate this for a second. $2,920,000 gross = about $1,752.000 NET

I'd work it, buy houses in middle class neighborhoods across the world and live off rent coming in steady, then use that extra income to keep buying more property and rent out. Always middle class tho...much safer investments than high end/low end properties imo.

Travel every month of the year on a place I pick out on a giant Frank Lloyd Wright globe I have custom built for me.

Depends on the length of the contract and who's paying. But, sure.

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.

I know what slavery was

The point of bringing the slaves to this country is to work the shyt out of em free labor force right? If they slaves died they had to replace them which is hurtful. I'm not talking slavery from a slaves point of view I'm talking Slavery from the point of view of the owners. What was hitlers aim with the holocaust? To kill all the jews. Slaves weren't brought to this country to die did people care if they died in the process no but that wasn't the point.

I am black and as this thread is a disrespect to the history of my people that wasn't my intent to disrespect.



I'd pick the shyt out some cotton for a 1000/h

Cotton don't pick itself

Slavery ain't got shyt to do with it, slaves used to grow sugar too and if someone asked you if you'd take $1000/hr to cut sugarcane your ass would sign up for that.

:damn2: I'd do it for no lower than $12

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 :laff:.

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 :lolbron:).

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 :ohhh: :wow:

But we did enjoy that sh!t tho :shrug2: :yamad:

:dead: at the struggle smileys
