Let's look at the facts here. Slaves were expensive. Do you think the slaveowners would torture or try to kill expensive investments? We bought slaves from African tribes. Let's blame them, too. They slaughtered each other and took slaves, and we bought slaves with rum and guns. The slaves went to the caribbean mostly, then to america. Slaves were hardly beaten, except for a few extreme cases (would you almost kill a very expensive investment?) Slave codes were tame-capture and return runaway slaves. In barbados, slaves would be burnt, killed, tortured, and have hands / feet chopped off for running away.
Some slaves were content enough to continue working for their masters after the civil war. Some slaves were set free upon the master's death, and offspring between the master and a black woman were set free.
Segregation was not an american-only thing, was exhibited in several places, and wasnot only against blacks. (even blacks hated other blacks from different tribes in africa) Immigrants especially hated blacks, as slaves dominated the labor markt in the south, restricting jobs to the north, and after the civil war more blacks were taking "immigrant jobs," which caused more strife between the two groups.
I'll wrap this up before it's a full blown lecture- Americans were not the only ones who had slaves; we treated them better than other countries, and it was not only whites who hated blacks. The mainsource of slavery was african tribes themselves.

Everyone should just shut the heck up and stop yapping on and on about what they know minimal background information on. Learn some real history.

Even so, slavery is wrong. Everyone deserves to be free unless they abuse that freedom.

I AGREE! I'm just saying our slaves were treated pretty good if you compare how the slaves in America were treated compare to say slaves in some uncivilized country.

It still doesn't make it any better than any other form of slavery. Slavery is slavery. We are in agreement. Shut up.

So, how's school going, KA?

Fine, why do you ask?

Out of curiosity, good friend, out of curiosity.

I have an idea. Lets all take a shit on this thread.

I second that idea, my good Mjordan!

Even the Jews themselves love to boast about how they were the masters of slave trade. (Sorry just had to bring this back up)

SOMETIMES I THINK THEY ARE SUPERJEWS

Just what exactly do you think you're going to accomplish posting propaganda sites? You're like a little child with your logic. You think just because you think you're right, that it automatically is right. You're so fucking deep into stupidity it's not funny. No one believes you and no one cares.

Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop, KRS-One, rock on!

PLEASE MASSAH, DON'T BEATS ME WIT DA WHIP! I'SA BES A GOOD SLAVE FOR MASSAH!

I love Jewish people. What about you guys?

THEY ENSlAVE EVERYONE AND TURN THEM INTO PROSTITUTES THEN THE JEW MEDIA COVERS IT UP WITH LIES

I would think that if I wanted people to believe a certain race of people were evil, I'd use propaganda in a site that seemed to have been made by people of said race. It's easy to understand that psyche.

I absolutely love Jewish people! They know how to party >:]

Boy, I sure do love Jews. I'm going to start my own Jewish sect . . . I'll call it the Nation of Judaism.

Meh, I might as well sign up.
