Let's be honest. The notion that southern plantation slavery was oppressive to the American negro is a myth.The fact is most negros were very happy with the arrangement. The relative few numbers who attempted escape is evidence that most negros were content.
Slaves were valuable property to the plantation owner. It was in his financial interest to care for his negros as well as possible. The slaves had nothing to worry about. They were provided food, clothing, shelter and even health care in exchange for their labor.
Some would argue the slaves had it easier than the plantation owners. The plantation owner had to manage the business, secure financing, sell the crops on the open market, repay debts, keep books, manage employees and pay taxes. He had to take risks and make decisions. He was a producer. All the negro had to do was get up and work. Sleep. Eat and reproduce. He was a consumer.
When the south was attacked by the north at the behest of European money lenders, it was the plantation owner who sent his sons to bleed and die on the battlefield defending their sovereignty. The negro did not pick up arms to defend his home and family. He simply sat in his shack, waiting to be rescued by northern soldiers or saved from them by his southern masters.
The Plantation negros went on to reproduce in great numbers after the agrarian slavery of the American south morphed into the industrial slavery of the American north.
Today their descendants expect that in exchange for their 'vote' the government (plantation) will provide them jobs, sub prime mortgages, civil rights, police protection, and dietary guidelines. Many today not only expect the government to 'educate their children' ... they demand it.
Modern day negros have adapted a level of slavery never imagined by their agrarian ancestors. Modern negro slaves outsource all notions of self-governance to the state. They expect and allow the government to regulate their personal relationships, to referee their marriages, to even raise their children.
Negros don't concern themselves with issues like foreign policy, free trade, the federal reserve system, the war on drugs, the national debt or monetary policy. Negros are free of the burden of distinguishing civil rights from ... inalienable rights. '
No. Negros have to worry about 1 issue: racism.
When they see it ... they have the power ... to ask the government to make it go away.

Whoa! Tha one blew me outta my house shoes! Negroes are so duped that they will completely misinterpret this one, but your rationality cuts to the VERY CORE of negro psycho-sickness. . .and when I see Black men pepper sprayed and capped over Jordans, I gotta wonder if they wouldn't brewer better off on some plantation. DV is the champ!
Be better off....not "brewer"...damn swype autocorrect!
If slavery is such a comfortable arrangement...will you be mine?
I don't think most people can distinguish between UNalienable rights and INalienable rights. And even if I'm wrong and most people can distinguish between the two, I don't think it would make much difference to them. The average person seems to prefer security(free healthcare,gov't retirement,etc)over freedom, not realizing, or even caring that giving up your god given rights(unalienable), for man made priviledges(inalienable) is nothing more than slavery. Free stuff is very appealing to folks, freedom? Not so much.
Brother DV and the Veseyites:
Take a look at this video on the times of Jefferson Davis:
http://functionalculture.blogspot.com/2011/12/for-reference-purposes-only-how-least.html
While I can't agree with the rough edges of my man DV's characterization of slavery - as it was actually a CONSCIOUSNESS that was beaten into them and thus culturally accepted over time - it is important to review artifacts of the time and note how some of them echo still today.
There is still a "provider dependent" consciousness among too many brothers and sisters. The key difference is that there is more of a FAKE ANGRY FRONT where they MAKE DEMANDS that they be provided for as a 'Social Justice RIGHT' as an American.
We need to be looking at how our people are being systematically elevated over time as more of us matriculate through the institutions of our community.
If there is no elevation then the plug must be pulled.
Brother Asad!
Big Ups!
Yes. Exactly.
Cats act like slaves ... you gotta call 'em on it.
It takes more love to call a brother on some Step N Fetch It shit ... than to ignore it, and pretend he has no culpability for his circumstance.
Getting pepper sprayed ... over some Jordans ... is some slave shit.
Getting diabetes ... from a diet you KNOW causes diabetes ... is some slave shit.
It's time for Black men to stop coddling negros with the slave impulse.
It does them no good.
"If slavery is such a comfortable arrangement...will you be mine?" Dude
Dude! Ha! My man.
Shiiiiii.
You wouldn't want me to be your slave. Bruh.
Wake up one bright sunny morning with your throat cut and your wife missing.
It was actually more beneficial for the plantation to work a slave till they literally dropped dead; that’s why they always kept their bucks as fresh as a counterfeit press. The pseudo-historic Uncle Remus narrative that Joel Chandler Harris introduced was in contrast to records claiming that slaves brought in $257 in profits a year while upkeep was $13. It wouldn’t benefit slave owners to take care of a retired slave living on the same rations when it’s wiser to invest that same food into a younger, more productive worker.
Uncle Remus was the embodiment of a fictitious nostalgic paternalistic and benevolent system. There were a significant amount of revolts and runaways. They even started to implement laws warning them of the severity of the punishment if they were found living amongst Native Indian tribes.
Even the image of the out of shape, unattractive Mammy was bogus. That was a contemporary image constructed to defuse the reality that the finest young ladies were in “booty call” reach. On film, the Hollywood myth of the overweight buck-eyed Gooch of a mammy is juxtaposed next to the soft purdy white Southern Bell so that the notion of casual rape becomes irrational when seeing a white man alone with a black woman. In reality the Captain’s log was all about Lieutenant Uhura.
I hear you Gee. You make a great point.
Were negro slaves "pleased" with their circumstances?
Of course not.
Did they have slave revolts and escapes?
Of course.
However, it is impossible to enslave millions of people over hundreds of years without a certain degree of cooperation and complacency from those people.
For example: Denmark Vesey. 1822.
When he organized his revolt ... there were 2,000 white people in Charleston South Carolina.
And ...
There were 9,000 slaves.
9,000.
to 2,000.
9 to 2.
4.5 to 1.
How. In. The. Fuck... do 2,000 white folks enslave 9,000 brothers and sisters?
Don't say "guns".
It's not like the whites had Glocks.
They had muzzle loaded single shooters that didn't shoot straight.
It took Denmark Vesey YEARS to get them negros to agree to revolt.
And even then ... some Plantation Negro alerted the militia before the plan could be launched.
The plantations were vast and spread out. The area was not developed. There were no telephones. No police force. No ADT Security System. No standing army.
A white plantation owner was deep in the bush, surrounded by negro slaves. Why didn't the "slaves" simply cut the throats of their owners?
I submit they did not for the same reason negros today don't go to work and smack the shit out of their white bosses.
They think they need those jobs.
They have kids to feed.
They don't know what else to do.
DeeVee you Uncle Tom, Sell-Out, Dumb-Ass-Nigga'.
How do you imagine that slaves were better off being slaves and that they prefered security to freedom.
If that was the case, most Blacks today would; work jobs they hate, rely on the government for almost EVERYTHING, fail to open THEIR OWN businesses, immitate everything imagined as originating with whites and then complain that the only reason they are misserable is because someone white (who has no real power over them) is keeping them down.
... oh, wait... never mind.
Why should you run off my plantation?
Are you that self-defeating that you would reject a warm bed, food and work that would make you feel useful?
What is it about slavery that makes the slaves rise up against their masters? After all they've done for them....
hmmm...that did sabotage John Brown's whole come up. The slaves couldn't fathom such an abrupt & immediate change of lifestyle. Some historians argue that it wasn't that John Brown's idea was unrealistic, but rather the issue was the delay factor on the part of the slaves. Here were a people that knowing only one lifestyle, then out of the clear blue someone comes up and says that their freedom is only an arms length away.
Brown did not calculate that there would be doubt in obtaining one's freedom. Frederick Douglass did try to tell him.
"The slaves couldn't fathom such an abrupt & immediate change of lifestyle." GCV
Exactly Gee.
Which ... brings us back to Ron Paul.
Dismantling the paternalistic relationship plantation negros and plantation crackas have with the state ... would afford both groups more freedom.
... which is a very frightening proposition to people accustomed to slavery and the relative comforts of the nanny state.
Plantation Negros ... embarrassed by their desire to remain slaves to the Federal government ... take refuge in the shallow accusations of "racism" directed towards Paul.
Calling Paul a "racist" gives them an excuse not to examine their chattel relationship with the federal government.
They resent ... and in some cases hate Ron Paul ... because he reminds them that THEY DO HAVE A CHOICE.
What I don't like ... is the nerve these people have ... to refer to themselves as "Black People".
They aint Black.
They are fucking slaves.
They want to be.
They always will be.
They probably need to be.
Cool.
To each his own.
What I resent is the characterization of these happy slaves as "Black People" ... and the insinuation that white people are the cause of their bondage.
No.
They are not. Most whites are in bondage too.
These negros are the cause of their own bondage.
All this talk of "racism" and a "Global System of White Supremacy" is punk ass rationalization for men who have forfeited their unalienable rights ... for "civil rights".
I believe Black people will be better served by those who challenge their real desire for freedom instead of those who patronize and placate them with excuses for their slavery.
Although he is a more sound choice, in the end aren't we still doing the whole political messiah thingy?
Won’t this political steamroller turn into a passive dough roller for us to fall right back into a cookie cutter circumstance?
Will it be as Malcolm said about the revolt on Washington turning into a circus show march with our leaders leading the charge?
They too represented the voice of the people, but they delivered it through the establishment’s script.
Ron Paul? Messiah?
Actually, no.
I don't see it that way.
This really has little to do with the "Presidency".
This is about controlling the microphone.
This is about shaping the public discourse.
This is about memes.
95% of Americans couldn't tell you the difference between The Federal Reserve and Federal Express before Ron Paul came on the scene.
Today ... 75% of them cannot tell you.
Before Ron Paul the maintenance of 920 military bases around the globe was not part of the discussion.
What politician in the national spotlight said with a straight face that the War On Drugs must end now and that what people put in their bodies is not the government's business?
Before Ron Paul what American candidate had the heart and nerve and courage and righteousness to essentially say 'Fuck Israel' and the billion$ in "Foreign Aid" we give them each year?
Nahhhhh man.
This isn't about the election.
That's a charade the Plantation puts on every 4 years to generate the illusion of consent.
Ron Paul, love him or hate him, forces the American slave population to think.
I understand. Makes perfect sense.
Why do you feel it's not enough that Paul has already pulled that off? Is it that since he's come this far that it might as well be taken all the way?
It is significant because Paul is a "meme buster".
The Plantation controls the masses with the power of suggestion.
Mass hypnosis.
The MSM reinforces select memes in a manner that bookends and directs what people believe is "possible".
For example:
Ron Paul publicly questions money given to Israel.
That is normally public suicide.
Yet, he thrives.
Ron Paul rightly CONNECTS 911 to US Foreign Policy.
...
...
That .... is a major TABOO.
Ta-fuggin-boo.
Yet he does it.
And he thrives.
Ron Paul is a soldier for the truth.
Cat got heart.
Cat got soul.
Cat BLACKER than entire CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS combined.
Martin Luther King Jr. would endorse Paul for his stance on the war alone.
Let alone The War on Drugs.
Raise your hand if you want to be a slave!? Yea, thought so. Its so hard to take DV seriously sometimes because he clearly talks straight out of his ass on about half of his posts. A few credible sources and maybe footnotes
would be nice once in awhile but that would be aaking too much of someone who probably didn't go to
college. Not to undermine your intelligence bruh but I can't stress enough the importamce of citing evidence to prove your point.
Why do I even bother.
Raise your hands if you behave like a slave? Thought so.
I take dv seriously
Am I the only one here who realizes Ron Paul is a bigot? He raised a son who is a bigot!
Has this Ron Paul been vetted to our core beliefs of not being against us before we agree to like his policies.
This Ron Paul campaign on this website is shocking. Before you start telling other people whose better it's a good thing to ask yourself better for who?
Yes, but lets be real, the government is not the only boogey man that many of my people have chosen to cede their own personal power to.
I will adapt your post to reflect this.
Today their descendants expect that in exchange for their 'DOLLAR' the CORPORATIONS (plantation) will provide them jobs, sub prime mortgages, civil rights, police protection, and dietary guidelines. Many today not only expect A COMPANY to 'educate their children' ... they demand it.
Modern day negros have adapted a level of slavery never imagined by their agrarian ancestors. Modern negro slaves outsource all notions of self-governance to the CORPORATION. They expect and allow the CORPORATION to regulate their personal relationships, to referee their marriages (VIA TELEVISION), to even raise their children (FACTORY FARMS FOR FOOD, VIDEO GAMES, ETC).
Brooklyn!! Brooklyn!!
Brooklyn!! Brooklyn!!
What's happening brotha?
You are absolutely right.
The state is the corporation.
We are living under a fascist dictatorship.
A wolf ... wearing Barack Obama's clothes.
Scared ass negro hiding behind an avatar criticizing the people of the largest forced migration in history who suffer not only a physical holocaust but the world's most destructive cultural holocaust in the process.
These folks were so passive that the state of South Carolina was forced to pass the Negro Act in 1740 after the Stono Rebellion.
These folks were every bit as scared as the negro who has appropriated the good name of Denmark Vesey. These cowards fought the US Army in Florida for six years beginning in 1835, using guerilla warfare tactics, costing the US Army 1,500 lives. General Jessup informed the War Department: "This, you may be assured, is a negro not an Indian war." One Congressman commented that these Black warriors were "contending against the whole military power of the United States."
These folks were so content with their conditions that the US government was forced to enact two Fugitive Slave Laws, one in 1793 and a more draconian law in 1850.
And of course Dred and Harriet Scott were so afraid that they sued for their freedom and forced white supremacists to fight a civil war.
Yeah, Makheru.
Some great brothers fought and died resisting bondage.
Others ... accepted it.
Many brothers are genuinely resisting bondage today.
Others are still talking about "racism" and voting "Democrat".
Staying in their little comfort zones of "negro issues".
Playing Group Identity Politics.
Still falling for simply minded Black v White Hegelian head fakes.
Wrapping their cliched defeatist ideology in Kinte cloth and trying to pass it off as "Afro-centric".
The fact is most negros were very happy with the arrangement. The relative few numbers who attempted escape is evidence that most negros were content. -- DV
This type of fiction goes right along with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and God's Son.
Historical ignorance is mental slavery. Since you will not read anything, you are obviously content with your mental slavery. You sure as hell are not doing anything to break the monopoly which ignorance has on your mind.
For anyone interested in reading a historically documented book on this subject, I would suggest "There Is a River" by Dr. Vincent Harding.

Makheru ... are you suggesting 2,000 whites oppressed and enslaved 9,000 blacks in Charleston South Carolina in 1822 without any cooperation or complacency from the blacks?
...
...
I doubt you are.
I submit that a number of blacks accepted their situation then ... just as they do today.
@makhru.. dv aint hiding. Let's just say the world
is smaller than most anonymous bloggers think. Touche
LOL
Anonymous Jigaboos are funny.
Foaming at the mouth in their eagerness to be snitches.
Just like the traitorous informers who ran to their white masters in 1822 when Denmark Vesey organized the Plantation Negros and planned the revolt.
"In the Know" ... please know ... you can kiss my ass.
Snitch? Jiggaboo? White master.. who, what, where? Damm, dV. Hey, you post the pics. It was due time till someone did a face recognition and put 1+1 togethor. But I aint here to out nobody. I respect bloggers. So take a pill.
