Slavery Never Existed

[CountVolcula]

Lets not forget that a lot of whites were brought to this country as serfs. Slavery was not just limited to blacks

I'm far from an expert on the subject... just enjoy reading when I have the time. Most were former slaves who either bought or earned their freedom. The vast majority of slave owners (black or white) typically "owned" only a few slaves, and this was usually the case for the freed slaves. And as IP mentioned, some of these could have been benevolent slave owners.

Most people couldn't afford to buy a slave, they were really expensive.

One method many used if they could afford one or two was that they gave them the same deal as an indentured servant.

People payed the fare for some poor Eurpoean immigrants to America and in return the indentured had to serve seven years with little or no pay before becoming free.

In many cases tradesmen such as cobblers, tailors or black smiths for instance, bought a black slave who worked for seven years and learned the trade and then gained his freedom, hired on with that man or another at an agreed wage and perhaps saved his money and started his own business.

That was a lot better deal than many of the 'emancipated' got when they were granted freedom but had no marketable skills except farming and they had no land or tools to farm with.

Thanks for the post gsvol & TMwork, very very enlightening.

Well thank you back.

I have friends and relatives from up in your area.

I went to elementary school at Joelton.

I-24 crosses two of my families farms between Joelton and Nashville and passes right by a third.

I think it's very fair to teach young children all the good the founders did before pointing out their faults.

I guess only the right wing is proud of what the founders accomplished.

Looks like you've been sucking on a little too much Che bro.:dance2:

Maybe Malcolm X was enslaved by and shot himself. Makes sense to me.

Definately the reason Ayers and Dohrn named their son after Malcom, it's all coming together.

I remember reading a couple of books during my African American History course in high school. One topic I found very interesting was the way that many second and third generations of freed slaves were still very strict disciplinarians, even to the point of borderline or outright abuse. This was thought to be directly attributable to the harsh discipline slaves often received that was past down in turn even after they were free. Certainly a very sad but interesting topic.

Let's also not forget that the moslems took over one million slaves from Europe and that they ventured as far west as Newfoundland with their slave raids and once took 800 slaves from Iceland in just one raid.

Worth mentioning also was our war with the Barbary pirates on this very issue.

Muslims also shot Lincoln and burned gs's toast at breakfast. Its fact.

"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."

King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993

If you have a problems with me pissing in your cheerios, then moving your cereal bowl would be my suggestion.

There is always the occasional post by someone with an axe to grind. :loco:

TMwrk, were the black slave owners prior slaves themselves or were they born free?

I have tried to research the answer to your question in the past without great results, what little information I found was that there were some of both.
