naw june celebrates the abolition of american slavery duh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth

Hell yeah

Fuuk wikipedia

oh sorry

jews ran the African slave trade

https://www.juneteenth.com/history.htm

no wikipedia then

Africans had their own slaves...look it up

you're right

guess what america did wasn't wrong

thanks for clarifying

It's fine if other people do it

Ran slave routes also

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelton_wheel

so, naturally, we just exploited that practice for our own profit

since they were already doing it, and all

why not us too

Thats not the point

i'm sorry what was the point

Point is ITS JUST WRONG no matter who does it

you're right, and america was wrong to preserve that practice almost a century into its existence

Cant point fingers at one group

Thats was then.. this is now

We had a Civil WAR over this shit. Remember

it's almost like a massive chunk of america's economic capacity in its first hundred years was based upon slave labor, and it's not like it was much better for former slaves following their emancipation

sharecropping was a staple in the southern economy for eons after the civil war, basically just layered on top of the former slave economy

It was better..
They just didnt know what to do...many stayed with the masters they learned to love

_learned to love_

uh

huh

That is a correct statement

yeah and practices like redlining and blockbusting in the 20th century, totally ethical and a-ok

Not@all@slave@owners@were bad@people

#notallslaveowners

That's actually true. Some slaves, upon release, wished to stay based on how they were treated.

My great grandmother had a Black butler and maid... when she died she left the 2nd house and 60,000 dollars to the both of them. Matthew the butler wept at the funeral

sounds totally real and not at all made up, but how generous of her, huh

Hell yeah Let Us Go <:nasalies:485141702403686403>
