Donald Trump is running for president

Keep exposing yourself famb.


Because the slaves that worked in the house, that were used for entertainment, that were used as sex objects, and a unit of trade somehow don't count.


Only when da white man educated them, they had other uses.


Real Nice, real ******* nice

It's the unfortunate side effect, I have no problem with them. But if you're not educated, then you end up being exploited. They put in massive hard labor, but they weren't educated. I'm not putting the white man on the pedestal, all cultures have contributed to the world, Europe was going backwards while the rest of the world was going forward.

Dude's post proof why white supremacy will never die down.

The fact that he spew that nonsense like it is an innocuous truth is more troubling than any of the more blatant instances of racist trolling

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Double down, breh.

The smart dumb college kid just learning things, eager to put those thoughts out there is nothing new. You can always pick them. Just wait till he does a psych course. Not that it's a bad thing, just not formulated right, pure word vomit.

They teach white supremacy in colleges now?

He doesn't see it that way, he thinks he's an intellectual, objective observer from the outside, but he's not (some of you should be familiar with this). That said, he's said a lot of insane things justifying evil white oppressor's actions. I mean a lot. More than normal. I'm saying x-alt if you're the intellectual you think you are, stop and think for a moment.

-Slaves were not exploited because they were uneducated, educated slaves were still exploited. Shut the hell up with implying that

They were exploited because of the color of their skin. And poor white have been fooled for centuries into insuring the property rights of the rich ruling class.



-Education is not some cure all for oppression or white supremacy. Tons of black people have degrees in this country, they are still exploited by the police, banks and their local governments.



--------

Since you're so big on education. Open and damb book and educate yourself about white supremacy, systemic racism, and crony capitalism

 

[nawghtyhare]

X-Alt's posts always been a bit suspect.

The racism on this site has been escalating Dudes aren't even beating around the bush anymore.




I had to go back and read what he said just to make sure i didn't miss anything, did he just go on a rant about how white people are superior?

He must not have been looking at genetics

 

[RustyShackleford]

Dude is a Nazi sympathizer, and is now saying slaves were exploited into doing "dirty jobs" because they lacked education

I'm not gonna call him any names. I want people to read his post in full, to see the extent of his ignorance. To see that someone who claims to be educated believes such things in the year 2016

-I willing to bet famb identifies himself as a libertarian

 

[Mark Antony]

not saying he is, but you can tell by reading his posts that he thinks he has an outside, 360 view of things that his "education" helped forge. He thinks he's da "meta".

There's nothing intellectual about dude. He sounds like your average racist white southerner.

LOL @ the concept of slaves being exploited for being uneducated

WTH kinda sense does that even make? Apparently science books were all that kept  slaves from trying to run away or rebel, not the whole getting brutally beaten, castrated and hung part.

Masssa, I'm turning in my resignation papers at the end of the week. You know I been reading about the north and they got better benefits up there and I just don't think there's enough potential for advancement on this plantation.

Dude needs to do his googles instead of spewing ignorance in here. The answers are at your fingertips.

Benjamin Montgomery was born into slavery in 1819 in Loudon County, Virginia.
Montgomery obtained employment at a general store owned by his master Joseph Davis. He would eventually take over the entire purchasing and shipping operations of the store. During those days, merchandise was shipped by boat on the rivers connecting counties and states. However a timely shipment was not guaranteed since the depths of water in different spots throughout the river made navigation difficult.
In an effort to expedite the shipment of merchandise, Montgomery invented a propeller that could cut into the water at different angles, thus allowing the boat to navigate more easily though shallow water.
Montgomery attempted to patent his invention after regaining his freedom, but was rejected again.

Henry Boyd, who was born into enslavement in Kentucky, was an inventor, carpenter, and a master mechanic. He invented the corded bed with the wooden rail screwed into both the headboard and the footboard. According to findagrave.com, Boyd was unable to patent his invention, but eventually earned enough money to buy freedom for himself and his brother and sister in 1826.
Undeterred by the laws barring him from obtaining a patent and now a freedman, Boyd started H. Boyd Company in 1836, selling his invention the “Boyd Bedstead.” He made sure to stamp his name on every finished product to assure buyers it was his work.
The Notable Kentucky African American Database records that in 1843 Boyd was among the most successful furniture makers in Cincinnati, Ohio, where his company was based.

Benjamin Bradley, was born into enslavement around 1830 in Maryland. He “was put to work in a printing office and at the age of 16 began working with scrap he found, modeling it into a small ship. Eventually, with an intuitiveness that seemed far beyond him, he improved on his creation until he had built a working steam engine, made from a piece of a gun-barrel, pewter, pieces of round steel and some nearby junk,” according to blackinventor.com.
Bradley’s ingenuity earned him a job at the Annapolis Naval Academy, where he was a classroom assistant in the science department. While there, he developed a steam engine large enough to drive the first steam-powered warship at 16 knots for warships in the 1840s. He later sold the invention and bought his and his family’s freedom.

"The creation of the Confederacy, though, offered slaveholders a chance to square this circle. Through their new government, Southerners sought to institute legal structures that would allow them to deploy their human capital most efficiently -- whether toward manual or intellectual labor -- securing for slave owners the profits from that work."

This is what I'm talking about when I say some ppl want to rewrite history and teach it as fact.

Dude is trying to compare slaves to illegal immigrants who get exploited by being paid less or treated poorly cuz they're not as educated for what they need to know in America and they're illegal. Trying to make something evil look like it was just some taking advantage immoral slight.

Same **** when ppl talk about what the civil war was about. Always try to frame it as not as bad as it is.

Well Toby we're sorry to see you go, you have been a great asset to the plantation.

But as per your employment agreement, you need to provide us with two more weeks your your service, two more weeks of us working you 16 hours days, raping your wife at our leisure, selling your kids off to never be seen again and beating you brutally at even the smallest infraction

But again, you will be missed

Take a good look at some of the school curriculum around the country. They're already doing it.

I learned some of the horrifying history of this country in undergrad. Part of me thinks the only reason I was given that history was because I went to a pretty ethnic and forward thinking school in Spanish Harlem. I didn't really get a full understanding until I took an elective in college.

Imagine how many people don't go to schools who focus on the realities of slavery and never take that elective in college.

It's pretty sad, really.

This is how capitalism fails.

Capitalism also fails when the rich ruling class buys of policy makers so those policy makers indulge them in their rent seeking behavior

Capitalism is at it best when there is competition, the rich OLD MONEY ruling class have no interest in that.

They like crony capitalism.

Fixed.

Let's talk about education and slavery in America. Slavery made higher education possible in Early America, Colonial America. Every Colony, northern and southern made a lot of money off of slavery. Some of the biggest fortunes were made in New England as a result of participation in the northern point of the Triangle of Trade. Schools like Harvard, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth and all of the fine liberal arts College in New England were indirectly built on money made from slavery.

After the Revolution, Tobacco slave money builds places like UVA and UNC and in the mid 19th Century, King Cotton builds up many of the venerable institutions in the Deep South.

Now you might say that your alma mater was built after the Civil War or it was in the West or the mid West so your education is clean of slave money. That would be wrong. After the Civil War, industrial and railroad wealth builds schools like the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt and Stanford and ultimately mineral extraction money founds schools in the far West like Cal and UCLA.

Heavy industry, railroads and mineral extraction all require a lot of capital and a young developing country like the America of pre 1860, needed foreign capital. The massive cotton exports were the only thing that made the US even remotely fiscally sound and worthy of foreign investment from more developed Countries. No cotton exports means little to no capital comes in which means we would live in a much poorer Country even to this day.

Also, Consider the fact that redlining and the interstate highway systems insured that post WWII whites would own homes and most black folks would not.

So to all of you "South Park Republicans," libertarians, "fiscally conservative but socially liberal" bros out there. You aren't as great as you think you are. You grew up in a suburban sundown town that was built off of redlining. You went to a school that owes its founding to slavery. You drive on the state built interstate to your "clean" job in finance or technology or consulting (perhaps the ultimate elite make world scheme ever devised) and then you come home to your own exoburban palace and tell the World how much they need you. You are not Atlas holding up the World.

In fact, I would venture to say that the more a person brags about how indispensable he is, the more the World would be a better place without said person.

Is that real? 

I get the impression I learned more about US slavery in my history classes here in Belgium than some American schools.

That's just terrible.

Yup, and you might have. We're ashamed of it here, so we try to pretend it didn't happen.

McGraw-Hill Education sought to redress these implied untruths in aFacebook announcement  Friday. While the geography program “meets the learning objectives of the course,” the publishing company’s statement said, a close review of the content revealed that “our language in that caption did not adequately convey that Africans were both forced into migration and to labor against their will as slaves.”

Many were sold off from their native Africa by greedy kings. You deny them education, and voila, the cycle of exploitation begins There's been one successful slave revolt, and it's for a reason. As soon as people educate or self-educate themselves, especially the ones who know what it is to suffer, become moral role models for the rest, not talking about a science book here, but basic stuff anybody deserves.. It's really not that hard. Plus, you have people like blco that go and talk down the exploitation of Natives because "they have casinos now lol" but we shouldn't have treated them like garbage in the first place.

By the way, I grew up in Chicago, not some racist deep south state. 

I was trying to go in on that Rocky dude, but it was misinterpreted. End of story.

In my experience, we talked a lot about slavery in school. The main problem, in primary and secondary school, was that the narrative around slavery tried to isolate it in terms of time and space. It was seen as a regional problem that ended in 1865. The problem is that slavery and the capital derived therefrom expanded it reach all over the US and well past 1865 and right up to the present.

So, I would say that US schools do not suppress that slavery exists, they reframe it and interpret it so it does not contradict the American exceptionalism mythos.

As far as the map describing slaves as immigrant workers is concerned, that picture is real but it is getting major push back, even down in Texas, where it appears in their new History text books.
