One of the most misunderstood facts concerning the colonies. There were literally tens of thousands of English, Scottish, German, French and Dutch people forced into coming to America in the 1600 and 1700 period. There were indentured slaves. Some were allowed to bring their family but most were not. Few ever found a way to return to their homeland. Not one word is being said by the black population about these people. All were uprooted and taken by force to the new world. The French took over 10,000 to the Orleans area around 1700 in an attempt to produce a 'wal-mart' style plantation sector. It was an absolute failure because most of these Frenchmen simply refused to work in the heat and perform heavy labor. Eventually, this led to the black slaves being imported in from Africa. Why won't Jessie speak of these poor indentured servents? They were taken from their land, just as much as the blacks. Surely Jessie can read and understand history.

I plan to keep this thread bumped because when enough people see this thread there will be no excuss that blacks don't know that whites were slaves too. This is not a game. The American people will not have the jesse jackson shake down over some wet dream he cooked up while cheating on his wife with that bimbo.

Why won't Jessie speak of these poor indentured servents? They had white privilege. Don't you understand?
