We live in a country of stupidity and ignorance. People are too lazy to do research about Lincoln and they WANT to believe the comfortable lies.

There were only a few large farms, called plantations, which required slaves due to the labor intensive work. You had to be WEALTHY to afford to live on a plantation or to own slaves. That sure wasn’t most folks. So slavery, which was being phased out due to mechanization, was NOT the Southern way of life.

A few thousand owned slaves. That’s not many people out of an entire nation.

People in the North had no plantations, as the growing season is too short. Yet ALL white people are condemned for slavery, merely because they are white. That is stupid and irrational thinking. It was white people in the North who operated the underground railway to free black people. So why don’t you thank the white people?
And the vast majority of the whites of the South did NOT own slaves.

Many white people immigrated to this country AFTER slavery ended. So how can they be responsible when they didn’t get here until after it was over?

But the final touch is that not one, no not even one, white person alive today is responsible for slavery – because NONE of them were alive way back then and not one of them owned a slave.

Yet we denigrate the whites for slavery, that they had NOTHING to do with. Slavery ENDED in 1865. That was a long time ago. No one alive today was alive back then. All the people from back then are dead.

So you will need to divert your hatred to the white people of today, who NEVER owned a slave. Blacks should stop dwelling in the past and try living today. Slavery is LONG since over. You are not a slave and you NEVER have been one. Whites don’t owe us a damn thing! And yes I am black.

We have black mayors, black police officers, black Congressmen, black fire fighters, black movie stars, black sports stars, and even a black President. If you are black you can be anything you want to be. Or sit on your a** (and blame the white people) and be nothing. It takes effort to get off your a** and do something positive. But lots of blacks have done it. Blaming others is just an excuse for being lazy. Filling yourself with hate doesn’t leave any room for accomplishment.

Get the past out of your way. It’s over. You can’t change it. But you can improve today. You can build a foundation for a better tomorrow. Take responsibility for yourself.
