Are you suggesting slavery wasn't predominantly inflicted on Africans?

I aint suggesting shyt, its documented asians(coolies) as treated the same as nikkas women were raped and etc
before and after the civil war
nikkas was enslaving their own, and was black slave owners in the united states from Louisiana to Boston, half of the 10,000 free blacks in Louisiana owned slaves
free black people could even "own" the services of white indentured servants in Virginia as well. Free blacks owned slaves in Boston by 1724 and in Connecticut by 1783; by 1790, 48 black people in Maryland owned 143 slaves, find out who Nat Butler is, because he purchased blacks on the regular.
The 1st Lousiana Native Guard was a bunch of free men, who joined up with the confederates to fight for
good read, u will see most of the black slave owners were waffle colored

Asians were never slaves. So, while it is correct that they were treated horribly in this country, that is irrelevant to my question.
It is true that a small percentage of freed slaves owned slaves. I found the article by Henry Louis Gates Jr. where you got your statistics from. Here is the link for those interested in reading it:

You failed to mention in your post that the majority of freed slaves who owned slaves had purchased their family members. That this was a philanthropic act. It is true that there were some scumbag freed slaves who went on to own many slaves themselves.
But what does any of this have to do with our discussion?
Yelawolf didn't wear a symbol that has become synonymous with freed slaves who went on to purchase slaves of their own.
Your earlier post seemed to suggest that people of all races were slaves in America before the civil war. Your last post was non-responsive to my question about whether you were contending that slavery was not predominantly inflicted on Africans. Can you give us an actual answer?

seeing him wear the flag triggers no kind of response from me (im from cali tho). I can't say I have any outrage. guess Im not the type of person to follow the mob. lot of black people, and just southerners in general wave the flag all out in the open and no one says shyt, so why even front online.
pretty sure southerners use it as a heritage/cultural symbol more than anything now a days.
we all know the muthafukka aint racist, stop frontin. dude is even half native american.
we really need to stop crying wolf man, that shyts going to fall on deaf ears when actual racism is presented.
You are really fukking retarded. Every cac in the South knows the anti-black and pro-white Southern undertones of the Confederate flag. This is exactly why they wave the flag and say things like, "The South will rise again!". By the South will "rise", they refer to the Confederacy, and the anti-black, pro-white chattel culture which defined it. You imply Southerners aren't racist yet every single fukking study measuring anti-black bias by region has the South with the highest levels of racism. That you cannot see what is right in front of you speaks to your stupidity or c00nery.
And let me tell something about the South, half of those cacs say they have Native ancestry or some related shyt. That doesn't mean anythin.

Blacks didn't enslave blacks and that link you gave isn't a reliable source. Lousiana was full of half breeds and mixed people, some of whom were slave owners but you can't say blacks enslaved people when you're talking about them. That's a misrepresentation of the facts.

"We are the Fury"
I will break down for you how the Confederacy came to be and upon what principles he was founded. The following outlines the secession statements made by Confederate states upon leaving the Union:
In what later became known as the Cornerstone Speech, C.S. Vice President Alexander Stephens declared that the "cornerstone" of the new government "rest[ed] upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth".[19] In later years, however, Stephens made efforts to qualify his remarks, claiming they were extemporaneous, metaphorical, and never meant to literally reflect "the principles of the new Government on this subject."[20][21]
Four of the seceding states, the Deep South states of South Carolina,[22] Mississippi,[23] Georgia,[24] and Texas,[25]issued formal declarations of causes, each of which identified the threat to slaveholders' rights as the cause of, or a major cause of, secession. Georgia also claimed a general Federal policy of favoring Northern over Southern economic interests. Texas mentioned slavery 21 times, but also listed the failure of the federal government to live up to its obligations, in the original annexation agreement, to protect settlers along the exposed western frontier.
Texas further stated:
We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.
And again:
That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights [emphasis in the original]; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding states.[25]

As you can clearly see, the cornerstone of the Confederacy was in upholding the white man's superiority over blacks and in maintaining slavery.

thanks, it took 4ever 4 some1 2 answer my question but u answered it spot on and with full detail. I never knew how deep confederacy was, and what exactly it stood for. I figured it was some white power stuff, but never thought about it upholding slavery and basically ignoring our declaration of independence. So basically yelawolf is a racist bytch.
