Someone me owed at my son and I yesterday. This happened here in America. Its been terrible especially since the conception of inception of the pandemic. 11-04-2023.
Why would any of us want to be slaves? I haven't taken any bribes nor gotten any kickbacks. Thank God for the Emancipation Proclamation!
How many of those who participated in manumission were Presidents?
Had? I wish it was past tense. 11-04-2023.
They did what?
And than the forget psychiatrie.cowerds.
I would like for us to start referring to my ancestors as people who were enslaved, not just calling them slaves. It's putting human beings beneath the level of a dog even in today's "progressive" educated mindset. When you refer to them as just slaves, your taking away their humanity.
....but they were slaves. Just because you dont like the term doesnt make it wrong to use it especially when the term is being used correctly
It’s crazy this comment is 2 years old already. We are all slaves now thanks to the pandemic
Brother, slaves or enslaved.. all the same
@@SevenLotuswe are not slaves
Biracial children ended slavery. Not morality. Justification of owning "slaves" who were light skinned (looking more and more like their masters versus their ancestors) likely was more emotionally challenging and intellectually indigestible.
Wow that is a very deep comment. I never thought of that.
read mary lumpkins bio you will change your mind.
Emotionally challenging for whom? The experience of being enslaved alone is a traumatic event in itself. Lets not undermine the fact that slave masters relentlessly raped their property that they considered as ‘animals’. The acceptance of The Slave Codes clearly depicts just how far the suppose sympathetic slave owners felt about even their own slave children. If anything, the rise in biracial children during slavery contributed to more harm of the African American community e.i. Colorism, self-esteem,and further break down of physiological manipulation. Hence, today’s society, no one wants to be black but have features of both black and white a.k.a biracial or racially ambiguous. Only in rare cases did slave owners feel remorse for their own children they bore with slaves which is an exception to the facts. Moreover, these biracial children were seen as collateral to the capitalist benefits of their ever so honorable slave owning fathers. Ask yourself this, if biracial children changed the trajectory of slavery thus ending it, why don’t we see more plantations passed down to the biracial children than white children of slave owners. Wouldn’t they have just as much rights to inherit and profit from the revenue produced from owning plantations?
