Speechless....
What the....???!!
Saudis that come here bring slaves all the time.
There are still Filipinas in similar situations around the world, especially in Muslim countries.
DemonRATs have always been OK with slavery. That’s why they’re reinstitutioning it through welfare and public debt. (this time it’s for everybody)
I read this. Absolutely incredible, but probably far more common than we know.
And we think we have outlawed slavery in this country.......
I am curious what country they came from.....
There is no limit on inhumanity.
I am crying. I need to go do something else now.
Outstanding !
I worked with a Philippine lady who was an optometrist. Her husband was a driver. She walked six paces behind him. No matter what Philippine women achieve they’re worthless to their husbands.
Loan made fun of the foreigner and got pretty sarcastic but the second evening when everyone was spread out around the porch that surrounds the house she came to talk to the foreigner. I told her that the house was the best kept house I had ever visited and seemed to be a very happy place. She did not react right then but next morning she fixed me coffee before anyone else and spiced up my breakfast specially. Later when only I and the wife's sister were there and everyone else was gone the sister told me I had brightened up Loan. Then she told me about Loan.
The couple had despaired of having children and purchased a baby that was on the point of being set out on the street, those being the starving years after the takeover. They raised her to be a housekeeper and actually treated her well. She could leave if she wanted to leave but things were pretty hungry out there so she stayed. She is not terribly bright but eminently sensible in her day to day life. She is an adopted daughter of sorts but fits the description of a household slave pretty well. She got an allowance but it was not like a wage. She could go out in the town sometimes but she never went to concerts or school events with the other two. I didn't know what to think about it. They saved her life, surely, but she was, and I am sure still is, a slave.
As a side note, I had an ancestor who lost his life fighting for the North during the Civil War..........
With all the hatred towards the Confederate flag and demands for reparations by the black community, I've yet to hear anyone in the black community giving thanks to those yankees who died for their freedom..........
A beautiful tribute to the woman whom he loved and respected more than his mother.
Extraordinarily powerful and deeply moving account. Lola was rather like a tumorous growth on the heart of the family. Continuance or excision both presented mortal risks to its survival. Lieutenant Toms demons afflicted generations of his descendants.
