Do you think this is"DEEP" or "FAKE DEEP"

[Ghostface Trillah]

They say slaves from different plantations would compare treatment and make fun of slaves at poorer and harsher plantations. Given the phrase sold down the river, I can see that being true.

Slave mentality runs very deep in the black community.

I get it but she could've use a better example.

Kinda Deep (not quite fake deep or real deep) but most people would misinterpret that and I don't know if people would really see the gravity of that example, I mean I suppose we are slaves to modern capitalism and the rat race, but that is something that is voluntary, Slavery and even it's aftereffects are things we unfortunately didn't have control over.

I think it's profound.

Asking if it's deep or not is the wrong question.

Draw some parallels to how it applies today.

 

[Another Man]

Makes sense, but a false equivalence.

 

[agnosticlady]

Terrible example...slaves were not a collective group of homogenous robots. They were mothers, fathers,grandmothers,grandfather, sisters,brothers, and etc. They had thoughts,feelings, and strong emotions. People really need to stop making examples and stop disrespecting them.

 

[A.R.$]

True but it still doesn't change the fact that the Jews weren't always in that position they are in now and economic control is something they choose to have. I agree with what you're saying and it would be cool if Black people could be as supporting and unifying of their own as the Jews are but I just don't like comparing little things to slavery. The closet I would lean with is the prison system

Okay,
I think we agree more than disagree. Although I don't fully agree I respect the way you stated your position
