Did slavery help Black people?
Florida recently updated their state curriculum to teach students that some emancipated Black people gained skilled that they could use for their own benefit after emancipation. So I found some highly-skilled Black folks from the 1800s to see how things panned out for them. #florida #blackhistory #history

Also many enslaved people had skills when they were captured from Africa, skills like metal working, agricultural skills, and textile skills, and obviously musical skills, among others. Black enslaved people are the reason America has blue jeans. The process of indigo dying was from West Africa, and stolen by white plantation owners from their slaves. So to pretend that Black people had no skills when they got here is ridiculous.

Hello slaves came from Africa with skills already. The gullah people taught white people about rice and the Carolina gold rice was brought over by Africans during the slave trade. Thats what built south Carolina rice industry. After the civil war. South Carolina market share of the rice industry decreased so much they almost lost the industry period. Because after blks no longer worked the plantation for free white landowners didn't have the skill or know how to grow the crop. Man please they didn't give skill these slaves were already skilled and passed it on to their children and other slaves.

Watching only the first couple of seconds.
My grandparents where Nazis. Literal Nazi officer in the SS.
I dont want to call Jesse Waters a Nazi. But…. Listening to him, or to my grandfather does not really make a difference…

Who’s surprised? Fox News’s reporting is so incredibly disingenuous it’s actually unbelievable that is really hard to grapple with the fact that it convinces a HUGE group of our population… very disheartening. Only people like Jesse FUCKING Waters would frame slavery as “good” for some black people… because he’s a terrible person, and so are all the people on that station like him.

Think about it. White people did not teach those black enslaved how to build. They came with those fantastic skills. No way they would be taught better than whites and then sought after more than whites.
White people have done a huge number on the black phyche, trying to make us little better than a so called dumb animal, ( not even the animals are dumb). White people are the biggest liars, distorting whole histories to make themselves appear brilliant. What they are good at is misappropriating ideas and anything useful anyone else has done and making it theirs and their creation.

This is going to be painful to hear.But,it taught good work ethics,A home life.Itvgave purpose to life.Andvif everyone worked together,it taught unity of cause.I guarantee they didn't have so much free time on their hands,to drive by each other ,and kill each other for no known reason.

Question once slaves became free why did they stay?
Nobody ever wants to answer this question.

Always funny to see people blaming slavery only on their ethnicity… i am white from a country who was never been in african slave trades.. so it makes me less guilty about that than many black americans who had african slave owners ancestors back then

I think a better question is, Did Slavery help White people?
The answer is No.
“Slavery never did and never could aid improvement. Whether the community consists of a single master and a single slave, or of thousands of masters and millions of slaves, slavery necessarily involves a waste of human power; for not only is slave labor less productive than free labor, but the power of masters is likewise wasted in holding and watching their slaves, and is called away from directions in which real improvement lies. From first to last, slavery, like every other denial of the natural equality of men, has hampered and prevented progress.” — Henry George (1879)

If conservatives think that slavery was so grand, why don’t they try it on for size for an unspecified number of years? I’m sure there are a few African American families that would be willing to help give them the ‘work experience’.

The yt bigots in America know that what was done to our ancestors was so evil they must try to find some redemption in it somewhere, somehow. However, if you tell them what Yah says about the enslavers becoming the enslaved they want no part in that particular education.
