In my thread, "history is for suckers," there seemed to be some interest here and there for some real history. Well you read the title. There it is. At least it was for blacks. Need proof? Try to find a black anywhere in the U.S. who would say that they would prefer to be in Africa right now. If they think that being here is better than being in Africa, there is no escaping the fact that slavery in the old South was good. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here. Now I myself think that slavery was bad. But for blacks, it HAD to be good. Because as I said, otherwise, they wouldn't even be here.
Also, the whole topic of slavery in the old South is yet another example of history being written by the victors. That doesn't make it true. For example, there has been MUCH talk about the mistreatment of black slaves by their owners. In some cases, there may have been. But it would have had to have been far from the rule. Because you see, humans have been using various kinds of animals to do work for thousands of years. Something I'm sure they learned early on is that the better they treat their animals, they more work they will get out of them. Surely they didn't forget all that with their black slaves. And from what I have seen, they are relearning that lesson with modern day workers. That the better they treat them, the more work they get out of them.
Here is another point. Do any history books tell you that slaves earned wages? At least some must have. Because it is well known that some black slaves were eventually able to not only to buy their own freedom, but the freedom of family members and others as well. So where else could the money have come from. And if their masters didn't actually pay them, they made it possible for some to be able to do other work that they did get paid for.
Also, blacks like to bitch about Whites in the old South having made them slaves. But slavery is STILL going on in Africa. And Whites are somehow the bad guys?! What a joke. Another point is that in the old South, there were some blacks themselves that owned slaves. I will show you some memes. See what you think of them.
