This “Labor is slavery” attitude is one of the reasons I laugh about this urban farming idea. Blacks have been convinced that farm work is slavery and few are willing to do it for any amount of money.
Obviously the 9 year old didn’t come up with this on his own. Almost worse than this child’s comment is the father laughing in the background. Was slavery really funny? No it was not and is not...this child I would bet knows very little to nothing about our nations history including the dark chapters of the civil war.
What isn’t understood is that.. the people dependent on the government for their food..phones...housing.. monthly welfare check are slaves. They are owned by the government, all so that presidents...congressmen and senators can stay in positions of power. Once people are truly free the master is expendable.
I’m actually thinking about starting a farm even I haven’t done anything like that since my grandma’s farm 30 years ago. To me, there was something good about seeing the results of one’s physical labor.
