Lord have mercy...no, dummy, I grew up in North Carolina...Wilmington, in fact.
So I ask you, Would you have traded places? On the boat ride? How about when your wife gets raped and then sent back to the cabin with you? Mixed kids didnt just happen. Work with no pay for years? I hate Google and would love to see them wiped out. Minimizing or lessening slavery of blacks in this country isnt a liberal position...a good safe read would be Booker t Washingtons life which he wrote...note you never see liberals or other black dems talking about it...also Frederick Douglass...just stay away from web Dubois...he was a commie. Thomas so well and Walter Williams are fans of the first two.
Where do you get off calling me DUMMY? What call has there been for that? When did I insult you?
And, to what are you responding? No, dummy I grew up in NC? What are you answering there?
As for your questions, no, I would not want to be a slave. But it is a RELATIVE question that is implied by that poster. If you had to choose between US and South American slavery, which? Asian or Moslem slavery? Which?
Otherwise, you are playing the ABSOLUTIST game of the liberal. We had slavery, so we are forever to be deemed evil by these US-hating leftists. They hate the US and slavery is one of the items they use to show how bad we are. But the question really is, WHERE is a perfect land? WHICH nation has been better? Essentially what you say is no, the slaves were NOT better off than some other land to be enslaved in.
BTW, while Booker and Douglass were indeed truly great blacks, WALT WILLIAMS has been an undying defender of the Confederacy. Does not mean he defends slavery, per se. But he and Sowell are perfect opponents when it comes to talking the so-called CW.
