You are pathetic. Did you just say that the blacks that lived through it and saw it all didn't know what they were talking about. I would say that they knew a lot more about it than you. Which if they knew anything it would be infinitely more than you do.

No .But I AM saying that you are an idiot. First of all get out of here with your fake outrage.

Most of these Slaves your idiot Author liks to cite as proof of the 'happy slave' in the 1936-38 Narratives were Children like the 9/10 year old Booker T Washington who had vague memories of slavery. Washington(UP From Slavery) didn't understand why all of the adult slaves were happy, his Mother crying because he was too damn young understand the Soldier reading something of a piece of paper(didn't understand that they were free or what the hell it meant).


And like Booker T Washington it is a FACT that most of these slaves in the 1936-38 Narratives were Children during Slavery. Those Slave Narratives were interesting 70 plus year old recollections of Childhood & would have been far more worthwhile 50 years before most of the adult slaves had died.

Stop with your idiocy & fake outrage & allow the Grant discussion to continue please.
