Cacs eagerly buy into the "happy slave" narrative

This reminds me of that Catcher Freemason episode on the boondocks.
Ruckus's version.

I'm just saying the world doesn't Always work in black and white...most of us are forced to be at some career job for 40-60 hrs a week and if it wasn't for bills kids food most would prefer to stay at home relaxing or putting efforts into things they are passionate about but we make the most out our jobs pretend to enjoy getting up early to some cubicle for most of the day and keep a positive attitude all I'm saying is that it's possible for those who did not know what freedom was and were born into slavery to use the same coping mechanisms ...this militant your opinion is offensive bullshyt cuz it has to be a black and white paradigm with no in between...is stupid...the is always a range of complicated things going on when it comes to psychology and emotion

Get off your high horse and just agree to disagree without having a titty attack

This Cac is comparing working a PAYING JOB to muthafukking SLAVERY

Slavery is awful

 

[KOohbt]

Anybody else fukking hate it when cacs bring up the Irish to try to mitigate the effects of slavery on us?

I also like, "we came here with nothing and made it work, so what's your problem?"

Asian people like using that last point against us too.

Cause other groups are against us. It's their propaganda. Outside of natives and blacks. No one in this country deserves to be here or were ever treated badly. They all get unearned benefits. Asians. Indians whites, all those fukks get unearned benefits from our backs. Africans are the only non immigrants on this land. Period. All those Mexicans crossing the border are getting unearned benefits off our backs. We gotta at least man up and stop having sympathy for other folks with their lies and fake stories of discrimination.

People going in on me for trying to explain why some people may feel that way...didn't mean I felt that way or can pretend to know shyt I wasn't there and neither were we ...ultimately yes it's inhumane and psychotic to own others and ultimately you shouldn't be happy all I was saying is how some slaves may have coped and some slave owners might not have been cracking the whip thinking this was a normal part of society I'm sure there was a range of experiences but most experiences were probably awful

Slaves knew it was very dangerous to show any type of anger or aggression toward the slave master. The wrong look could lead to punishment or even being killed. If some did put on a smile it was only a survival tactic...to throw that cracker off. The only real emotion they had for those devils was hatred, whether it showed on their face or not.

it's obviously a book about c00ns, technically the cacs are right.


As much as we talk about people being c00ns on this site, this book isnt far fetched at all, a cruel reality.


It's still a fukked up book tho and it's easy to read inbetween the cacs lines

But it is about a real life man. They shouldn't just pull a narrative and persona out the ass without respect for whom the actual human being whose name and image they are profiting from was in real life.

When are white people going to stop using him for their own needs?

Oh and for such a "happy darkie"

Hercules – also known as "Herculas" or "Uncle Harkless" – was a slave who worked at Mount Vernon, George Washington's Virginia plantation on the Potomac River. He was the head cook at the mansion in the 1780s, cooking for the Washington family and their guests. In 1790 President Washington brought him to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (then the temporary national capital) to cook in the kitchen of the President's House. Hercules escaped to freedom from Mount Vernon in 1797, and later was legally manumitted under the terms of Washington's Will.

He doesn't seem to have been too content accepting his place in society.

what's so hard to understand how it's morally wrong TO OWN another human and making them do free labor while you reap the benefits???

this isn't the fukking Comedy of Errors by Shakespeare you god damn idiot

someone start a site wide neg train on this fool

@Brooklynzson

I already said it's immoral and awful and that it was mind boggling that it was considered a normal part of society for most of human history

How anybody can't comprehend what I'm saying is insane

Shut all the way the fukk up cac. The coping mechanism you're talking about is Stockholm Syndrome, and it doesn't negate the horrific and brutal nature of chattel slavery. fukk your whole bloodline.

Maybe they should have used their sweaty pink fingers to angrily access Wikipedia

Guess his deep and abiding love and admiration for his beneficent massa and joy at his less-shytty-than-a-Louisiana-cane-plantation-slave-with-a-life-expectancy-of-thirty-two-years lifestyle wasn't enough to ensure his unconditional love and loyalty.

He isn't the only enslaved person to flee from Washington. And Washington was considered amongst the least shytty of owners of human beings.

If he had people waiting for the opportunity to free themselves from him then how do white people figure the average slaveholder, much less the Edwin Epps Simon Legree type, was beloved by the people they owned?

not that it was ever a good thing but I can't imagine every household was mean to slaves...say for instance a single home small family that had one slave cook and do housework like jeffry they probably treated that slave like a member of the family had them eat dinner with them and maybe even went to social functions with the family

it's hard to imagine though how you grew up and it was a normal part of life to own another human being its surreal but no matter how well a slave may have been treated in some families they still viewed them as less than them and probably similar to how someone viewed a pet

They viewed slaves as less than human back then and considered it scientific fact so yes every household was "mean" to slaves.

Yet your dumbass is viewing it through modern lens like a kid in elementary.

Smarten up fool because you sound retarded.

@Slystallion is going to get wrecked in this thread

This wasn't a good idea.


But at least you're honest about your views.

You're still going to catch this neg for the faux paternalistic rationalisation of enslaving others.


American slavery is unprecedented. The whole country was/is built around that system. Show me another society which had slavery on the same scale and extent.

Nearly every damn country in South America. You have no idea the amount of hatred I have for for South Americans. If you think that American slavery was bad, than prepare for absolute carnage from the poor slaves who had the misfortune of going to the other America. Only like 5% of all Africans were brought to the United States and the rest were sent to South America. The death rate in the U.S was very low for slaves but in Brazil and other nearby nations in was damn near 50%. Primary crop for the U.S was pretty much cotton while in Latin America it was Sugar canes and from what I've read it was hell to work in the fields due to carrying the massive weight of the sugar canes and what the stalk did to your feet which would basically cut your feet raw and you would bleed. Slaves were banned in the U.S from being brought over post 1820s but in Latin America this never happened so the slave owners thought "fukk it if they die then we can just bring more". So no its not unprecedented its just that the U.S we have some clout and brought the issue forward while in Brazil they couldn't give a fukk.
