as a preface. i am sry to offend anyone in the upcoming matter but this just has to be said. at this point I really don't care who I offend because people have offended me and didn't care either, so why should I?
I am reading about slavery in my history class and I have learned to tolerate and accept the fact that what is done is done and there is nothing we can do about the past. Now i will say that we can change the future. There was a group of people in the mid-1800s talking about the reasons of why slavery was important and a necessity to the slaveholders. They made pamphlets, wrote essays, promoted the idea of slavery. These ideas were so rediculous I had to stop reading because I couldn't concentrate after a certain point while reading because I was just disappointed with their ideas of how blacks had to fit under this category because being of African descend was a default in your being and your presence. The proslavery propaganda's, as I put it, three arguements of why it should be allowed were these:
1) it is natural and proper status fro people of African descent. Blacks were inferior to whites and their only purpose was for slavery (hard labor).
2) slavery is sanctioned by the Bible and Christianity.
3) slavery is connected to the humanitarian spirit. Blacks are naturally dependent upon other people (whites).
okay. I seriously could not and cannot believe the generalization of these "reasons" of why slavery should be allowed. They acted like they had never seen anyone besides someone of African descent do hard labor and this just tells me that they were to lazy and too "priveleged" in their eyes, to do any work of their own. "slavery is sanctioned by the Bible and Christianity"???? really?? they take things wayyy too literally. I understand that St. Paul said to follow your masters but come on. How about master= GOD! these people used this arguement continuously to make their point. was there anything else within the Bible that could have been used?? obviously not since they kept repeating it over and over. dummies. And last but certainly not least, they said the slavery had to do with the humanitarian spirit. HOW in the HELL is that connected to the spirit of others???? Just so you know, buying someone and making them do hard labor for you without no pay, no justice along with the mistreatment, does NOT classify someone as being a humanitarian. I mean COME ON! Get your head out of your ass, stop thinking about yourself for once and understand that everything is not about you and your money//prosperity.
I truly don't get how people could just go along with this and let this history happen. I know that there were abolitionists but why did it take so long for it to come about. why is it that for a slave to take action, some whites finally realized it was okay to stand up for them. this is why I hate history because people were so ignorant and all about them, their land, and prosperity that they didn't "have the time" to take a look from a different perspective and realize that slaves are people too. People in general are stupid because history is cyclical. It ALWAYS repeats itself no matter the circumstances.
i thought this was appropriate.
