Gee, anyone get the feeling that racial tensions in this country are being deliberately stoked? These slavery/civil rights movies seem to be coming out in droves every single year since The One unfortunately became POTUS. Probably the most ridiculous was “12 years a slave” which seemed to me to be nothing more than a black snuff film. The whole freakin’ movie is blacks getting whipped, strung up, beat up, punched, kicked, slapped, tortured, lynched on and on and on and on. And they promoted it “as being the true story” it “was taken verbatim for the book” without realizing that a lot of stuff in that book was BS, was used as propaganda for the anti-slave movement.Yes no doubt slaves were abused like that, but not on the scale that movie portrayed. Slaves were property and owners would no more abuse them than they would abuse a horse which means they rarely did. I mean what was the point? It was all about money, you abuse a slave it cost money, if they are injured they can’t work or they run away, so it’s utter nonsense that they were abused on the scale that movie showed. But leave it to the left to re-write history that the evil white man abused blacks 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This is the freakin’ left deliberately stoking racial tensions today. Why? Who knows, maybe they are upset Obama didn’t turn out to be the Messiah they hoped and want to blame it all his failures on the white man.
As a matter of fact I do.
“Yes no doubt slaves were abused like that, but not on the scale that movie portrayed.”
I think we can agree, that by definition, slaves were abused each and every day that they were held in slavery as one cannot be a slave without being abused.
Hey, I didn’t realize that slavery wasn’t all that bad. And that you evidently kinda sorta know what it was like. Thanks for the history lesson!
