We know, thank you though.

We need to see these kinds of things to know why, as a society, we DO NOT want this now, and also to show as a society that we CAN grow and become better. Racism still exists, it always will, but it is so much smaller now. I see lots of interactions between people of different races, and 95% of the time, people are reasonably civil and mostly polite. So yes, this is AWFUL, but we are changing, quickly, too.

I have no problem with this post though.

Of course. That was the norm for society and slave owners back then. Slavery in Europe probably dates back more than 2500 years. And it was white slaves that they had been using up until Europeans entered into the cheaper more lucrative blacks slave trade markets which lasted for about 300 years. Conversely, Africans entered Southern Europe and occupied/dominated and enslaved whites for approximately 800 years until they were pushed out by a Spaniard king.

A Jewish name, imagine that.

It was like an outing for some, back then. People would bring food and everything.

Land of the free, home of the brave 😂 unless you are a negro. Or poor. Or a woman. Or any other thing not living up to the ideals of “the all American”... And, slavery still exists. Waiters STILL don’t get paid by their employers. They depend on the goodwill of customers’ tips to survive. And often have to share their tips with their employers and cook (who DOES get paid). Please America, you still are a joke.

They don't want to stop it

Dont nothing surprise me about this wicked system

I just read that article. OMG I am so glad things are different now, but sadly in some ways, not that much...

Just read that - state sanctioned murder

Thanks for the article. So, he never assaulted anyone, he and a white woman were in love... This is one of the cruelest Romeo and Juliet stories I ever read.

But we are growing, this isn't the overwhelming majority of us today. I don't believe we should feel ashamed of thing we had no part in on an individual level, but definitely on the whole-of-humanity level. It's like the holocaust, we as a species should never forget.

Are you a jew? If not, your ancestors had very minimal involvment in the trans-atlantic slave trade, at first Anglo-Saxon were prohibited from slave ownership as they may have Gaelic (Irish) roots. Don't let jewish HIS-STORY cloud your judgment of yourself or fellow man. Adams time chart says we are of the most high. But one along us is not, "trust not who say they are jews but are not, but do lie. They are of their father who knows nothing but lies since the beginning as he is the father of it. They are of the synagogue of Satan. No more deception. Real Shemites, Asians and Latino, Hemites, Black and Ebony, Japhite, Anglo-Saxon and Caucasion, we are the tribes, and "lost" is not a unfamiliar location, it is our artificially manipulated relationships to eachother, and our Father YHWH

we can never keep going like this. i wish that the world was just harry potter, puppies, and trump free but i know that this is never going to happen. we need to respect everyone.

Here's the deal history of slavery, they forgot to tell ua. -> https://youtu.be/4bu36QjaHHM

You are not responsible.

Wait till you learn that people used to finance their slaves as well through the bank. If you were late on your "slave mortgage" they'd literally repossess them. Many black scholars discovered their family history by researching old bank records. People also refinanced their slaves.

That's what they thought they were!!! It's INSANE.

Yupp. And what's even worse is they would rape the woman of child baring ages just to make more slaves. I'm pretty sure I've read something about George Washington doing that. The children were considered bastards.

Because that is what they were 150 years ago. Not even close to human beings. Raping a young negro girl in that time got you accused of b********y and fined. You could no more marry one than marry a horse.

I think the mules and horses were treated better then the slaves.

No, less. Mules were dependable. And I bet you a dollar those children were spawned by her previous owner. Did you know that the “whiter” they became (by inbreeding the children) the more expensive they were? But why do you act surprised? This is all very well known information.

You know what’s REALLY sick? The 94 were very likely over 200 originally. Find information about the mortality rate on slave galleys and the way the dead (mostly infants and children) were treated and thén you’ll be réally sick...

old good days :P

why? there are more slaves now than there were then doesn't that make you sick?
