Ok and you withheld blacks from education, ability to read and write, forced religions on them, and brutally beat, killed, etc.

Black boys were facemasked and made to sleep with their mothers ans sisters and sometimes daughters for breeding.

Don't you think keeping a race of people from essential life rights affected them down the line in SOME type of way?

When black people were killed for being able to read and write, white people were in schools doing just that and going to college and earning wealth.

When the slaves were freed, could you imagine how hard it must've been to make a living without being able to read, write, or have any education? So while white men were becoming doctors, lawyers, and etc black people had to shovel shite to make a living because they were denied education for 2 to 3 centuries.

Thats why white men with degrees are statistically wealthier than black men with degrees to this day. If slaves could read and write and get an education like the white people of their time, then black people would be in much better conditions today than they are.

But of course its not white so in many of your minds its not right im done arguing too many of you racists to keep up with

And if you look at the drop out rates and the reading and writing levels of inner city blacks in places like Detroit, what do you think you’ll find? Massa ain’t crackin that whip if he catches them learnin. Nope, that’s black people making the choice to do it to themselves. So what’s the excuse now? That guy in the OP video was right! There are people who suffered great mistreatment so that future generations of black people who have the opportunities they never had but instead of thanking them, instead of honoring their sacrifices by taking full advantage of those opportunities, it’s by in large squandered by fools who are more concerned with what they think the world owes them.

This is actually a good point, but likely not for the reasons you think it is.

This was a HUGE issue during the decade leading up to the emancipation proclamation. The overwhelming majority of the country wanted to end slavery, save for a few southern plantation owners. The question was.. HOW do we free millions of people totally unprepared to live and survive in a civilized society? Even for those owners who wanted to free their slaves, they couldn't just do it. There were laws against it. And what would instantly changing the laws really do? What if 30 million Americans had let tigers today, and suddenly we decide that it should be illegal? Ok... so what it's illegal now. Do we just set them free? What might the consequences of that be? This was not a simple answer or a simple solution. That's why we are the only country to go to war and spill blood over this matter.

I'm all ears if you have a better solution. Frankly, the issue goes back much further than the 1850s and 1860s. Today, some people vilify G Washington for being a slave owner, yet they have zero clue to his opinions on the matter. A strong desire to end slavery was in America before America was founded. But the big question was always... HOW? How do we end it? This cannot be looked at through the lense of today's society.

Which makes it doubly perplexing why many in the black communities shun other blacks who seek an education or try to better themselves. They are often called Uncle Toms or worse.
