LMAO I've pondered this myself so I feel where TS is comin from, my train of thought was on that very same track. You're thinking if it was you in the situation you would much rather die than let massa take your wife or sell your kids. I feel that 100%, but what you're forgetting is that there are things much worse than death, yeah we can say massa would have to shoot me in the head to walk off wit my kids but them crackas werent nice enough to shoot you in the head, you probably can't even fathom what would be going thru you head after you've just been cut from a tree you were hanging from for 3 days by your feet, no food or water and being beat sporadically, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be "aight now let me go find the cracka who did this and do it again". I can see how that shyt would tame even the wildest of hardbody niccas. You underestimate just how cutt throat the cac man in his natural state can be

In fact that made the act more courageous IMO

That in the face of a European dominated world, where a black diaspora was still under chains, you knew you wouldn't get any support as a nation--

but you still said 'I will bow no more.'
I'm not knocking anyone's efforts but it doesn't seem like the fight was worth it if in the end you're worse off than you were before you started. Just like in a book a read it said black people always try to establish a political base before a financial one and this is repeated throughout our history. There is much more to "power" than physical strength.

We are submissive to a system is the reason we won't just rise up and kill the police. Plus they're not raping our ladies and burning brands into our children.

When things get too unjust in a prison the inmates riot. The Co knows they can Only push a man so far.
The slaves were submissive to a system.

The "white man's" method has changed not their game. They are simply programming their slaves differently these days.

Plus, the way you describe the situation you act is if their was some great rebellion that ended the hell those devils were putting our ancestors through which isn't the case. Those atrocities did not end thru any mass "negro" uprising so, on some level, your ancestors submitted to that very system you are saying you would not have. How are you better then your ancestors?

:snoop:
one more:
slave dude: "it was a sunday. Ize remember because usually after church missus didn't brang us no bisquits after our whippin but this sunday she did. (mandatory whippings every sunday AFTER CHURCH) so ize just got done brangin the cows around and massa come up to me wit his rifle. he told me he found out my cousin was planning on runnin away and he gave me the rifle and told me to go out in the field and kill him. ize go out there and tol my cousin weze got to leave, massa wont me to kill you and if I don't he's gon kill both of us (or some other horrible shyt). ize threw down that rifle and we ran and ran....but ya know ize hated to leave. I shol missed them biscuits missus used to make"


"we wouldn't take that we would rise up!!" :pachaha:you lil mfers need to stop


man, you right, but i'm saying. how about instead of throwing the gun down, you pick the fukking gun up and blow off massa head. then blow off his daughters head, and his wife's head :what:

i know its easy for me to type this from the comfort of my home, after they've endured all the hard living. it's just mind-boggling to me on some level. i need to do the education, breh. i want to know how after all of this shyt, blacks thought it would be a cool idea to want to integrate w/these people socially.

i look at all these pics from the 20s-40s when blacks had their own businesses cooking. imagine if they continued to collectively build on that for 80 yrs. :beli: you think our communities would look the way they do now? and i know about bws, tulsa, etc, but how did all that turn into "okay, well, i guess i want to join you then :ehh: "

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees. The slaves should've lived by this motto.

Although let's not act like only black people have been enslaved. Almost every race including white people, eg the serfs in Russia or slavery during the roman era, and despite a few uprisings it lasted for centuries.

Also I think part of it was the era and how things were. Slavery as seen as normal and part of the world and even though we might look at it now and be disgusted, at the time it was normal, like little kids working 12 hours in a mine.

why did you quote me with this quotation?

In response as an example to your "slaves were submissive to a system"

Pschological Control by way of threats violence and fear. That horror has been subconsciously passed down through our bloodlines IMO.

Have you ever say down with your grandfather and asked "so, what was your childhood like?"....chances are he's say gtfo my face or tell half truths about it...too painful

In the position they were in, they were slaves, impossible to happen.

Africa was being ruled by Europeans. Hell it was said the sun did not set upon the European empire. Every nation not named China (who shut out the rest of the world) has a European hand up their skirt.

There was no financial foothold to be made.

Haiti choked because Europe blacklisted them in an effort to discourage any other black rebellion.

Haiti had a chance, if blacks worldwide looked at it as an example and there was a snowballed rebellion. Then can we support our own and prosper.

Haiti was freed and was completely isolated for damn near 100 years before any other black slaves tasted any freedom. Damn near 150 years til other black nations were called independent.

Haitis only chance was for our own brothers to stand with us in rebellion, but that never happened, they bowed until they were given their freedom. A man who stands alone in rebellion is a condemned man.

This poster is a prime example of the new age slave. I sincerely mean that.
