“Slavery in the United States will one day be looked upon as the best thing ever to happen to the black race. It was their key to the door of freedom and independence, and a seat at the table of the modern world.”
Uncle Sham, please disregard any further discussion between you and I. Your statement is asinine and categorically ignorant.
The hell that those slaves had to endure was nothing short of horrific. They were torn and separated from their loved ones, taken from their country, and sold like animals into forced servitude. More than half the slaves died while on the ships traveling to the Americas.
Their “handlers” stuffed cloth into their anus’ in order to hide the fact that one had dysentery before being sold. During the voyage, these human beings had to lie in chains in their own waste on a wooden “bed” that had approx. 3 feet of head space. This is just a brief description of what they had to endure.
Once again, your high and mightyness avoids the truth. Make up whatever facts you wish about this subject. Everything you listed on the bad side ignores the good that did arise from slavery in this country as well as the ultimate alternative at the time. Death. Then thrown in a pot and cooked. You and fuzz seem to think this outcome was better. What a joke.
This Just In,
Thank you. I am relieved someone else is as horrified as I am at the ignorance displayed regarding slavery.
