some folks liked slavery I am told.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19160070 slavery was abolished because the government couldnt tax the labour of slaves... fact
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34519065 Slavery was abolished because of rich crackers not wanting to pay for all the upkeep. It was cheaper to pay a wage all the while corralling my brothers and my sisters into central spots like cattle.
Instead of the system elevating the black man to equal footing of the whities, they try to keep us controlled and pacified, the system continues to chain us.
It used to be that it was illegal for my brothers to drink from the same water as the white man, eat at the same eatery as the white man, attend the same school as the white man. Has anything changed since King made his speech, "I have a dream"?
Segregation and discrimination still cripples my brothers and my sisters. The white system ensures it. The white system continues the seperation of the whities from us. Segregates us into one spot, in one area to live like dogs. Primarily white schools and services goes on, primarily black schools and services continues on. It makes sure the black man never has equal footing in this life.
If it were all about taxes revenue concerning slavery, why do the government pay more than the revenue the taxes pay in?
You crackers can kiss my black ass.
