Black Americans have been taught by self-serving leftists that because there was once slavery in parts of the U.S., there is no such thing as liberty.

The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.

But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.

Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.

Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.

Your mention of Uncle Tom stimulated this question: How many of our ancestors were abolitionists or part of the underground railroad ? Has anyone ever studied that subject?

(Mine were. Have my grandmothers copy of Uncle Toms Cabin)

Being forced to spend 40% of one’s working life slaving for the gov’t is really only a difference in degree not a difference in kind. Especially for a gov’t not acting in the consent of the ruled (”governed”).
