re: Two black guys show up to civil war reenactment as slaves trying to be a part of it lol

My grandfather was a sharecropper. Flour sack clothes for the kids. Had all of his kids out in the fields all day long working once they were past 3 or 4 years of age. Rice and gravy for meals. They had just enough chickens to where they got a few eggs and would kill one for supper on Sunday. No shoes for the kids. Just enough money for the above, never enough to break the cycle. Im not sure he had to sign a "legal contract" to work from before sunup till after sundown to be impoverished so badly. Literally didn't have money for the clothes on their backs and no way out.

Quite similar to miners in the Appalachians that made a pittance and were then forced by a "legal contract" to purchase all foods and goods from a "Company Store" that took all their earnings back when they bought goods. These people and sharecroppers were tricked into slavery for the big company's and land owners who previously owned slaves pre civil war.

Black people, contrary to your beliefs do not hold a patent on slavery. Read some history books about slavery worldwide prior to the civil war. It will open your eyes.

Hell, just read the bible. You will learn much about slavery of all races there too. Not just for black people. That has become the narrative today, but it was never exclusively for blacks the way it is painted now. Slavery is kind of like the "N" word. I guess. It belongs only to black people and they are the only ones who can use it. And they use both a lot.

Much like the British lady who schooled Don Lemmon a couple of weeks back on slavery. There is much more to the story than is being presented today.
