My husband and I got into a conversation last night b/c we were discussing the Obama speech. Some how the topic moved back to slavery times and he told me that African Americans should be glad that they were brought over here as slaves b/c it allowed them the opportunites that they have today. That Obama was a product of this and benefiting from this.
And that had it not been for the slave traders that many would still be over in Africa with minimal means,my children would probably be young soilders as they are kidnapping boys at their ages and making them fight in the army. Boy and I married this asshole?
I told him oh yeah thanks for beating a bunch of people over the head and dragging them to another continent,insisting on them losing their language and their culture. Thanks for the beatings and working in the HOT as sun in the summer and the freezing cold in the winter. Thanks for the rapes of the women and the degrading of the men,selling their children away from them breaking up their families. Procreating with their slaves,them having off spring from such unions then becoming the ORIGINAL dead beat dads and NOT CLAIMING their children and treating them as if they were less than human.
He then went on to say that NOT ALL slave owners treated their slaves that way. That some fed and clothed their slaves and chalked some of this up to isolated incidents. Boy I'd like to live in his WORLD:~( THE FLOOR PEOPLE..........................................................
