Black lives matter just like every other life

How could you believe in god and be a slave owner
I would have given them all kinds of stuff in their food
First rule of being a master always treat good those who cook for you 🥴.
Roots is historically inaccurate
Who wouldnt? If I were enslaved ill behead em, execution style plus their infants
My teacher made me watch this.
2:05 you think that’s good? Yes Ma’am 🥰
Does he have the n word pass
Him: “Do you take me for a fool boy?” Me: Actually yes , I do!
Period fight and kill them right tf back
Uh excuse please ! Up until 1865 slavery was 100% legal. Legal doesn’t have much to do with what is considered good or evil nor right or wrong. Legal = accepted proper rules people live with and abide accordingly to those rules ! ! !
P. S. Full time employment replaced slavery. We are all subjects earning our living by following instructions from our employers.
I mean, still give the kids a chance at life.…..
But I thought it wasn’t that bad! My southern Republican politicians have always told me slave owners were nice! They said everyone got along until “agitators” came down from the north and “stirred up” black people, and …oooohhhh, you mean — I was lied to? America has always been a racist, white supremacist country? Couldn’t be! Trump! Hank Jr! Stuckeys! You mean black people are my allies in the struggle against the billionaire class, and we should be focused on taxing the rich and unionizing together? But what about that time BLM smashed a window??
History is complicated. Killing the children was horrific and obviously wrong but so was the situation that led to the slave revolt in the first place. An inhuman institution (slavery) led to inhuman acts of revenge by some of its victims. Violence begets violence. Even though the children should never have been targets, you can also see why those slaves had so much hatred that they did something so terrible.
It’s sad that people in the comments can’t do nuance. Three things are very clear to me and I would hope we could all agree:
1) Killing the children was obviously wrong as it is ALWAYS wrong. No justifications can be found for that.
2) The fact that these slaves hated white people in general given that all they had known them as was oppressors is not a surprise. These slaves had been brutalised by violence from slave owners who were white. That this could express itself in indiscriminate violence against all white peoples is also not a surprise.
3) This means that the ultimate blame for what happened here lies with the slave owners. They created a situation where their own children were at risk.
So while there can be no “justification” for the killing of the children, there are “explanations” for it.
This is where they learned violence
The roots story was proven to have many huge inaccuracies but that is never publicized. It’s true, research it yourself. The author was never held to account for his many untruths.Unfortunate.
What scares me is the concept of a white man, having these people as their great grandfathers and ancestors.
Hey Ms.Mizzi

bro took the N word pass😂 L moment
This is the very reason why the USA is inferior to every country on earth. A nation of protestors, who drops bombs because they cant fight
Im getting really interested in american slavery. The good guys and bad guys are pretty clear, black and white, pun intended, but there is still some grey in there, the bad guys thinking they are justified. It also has some sense of rebelling against auhtority.
Is this a movie? If so what’s the name? I would love to watch please.
Hallelujah
Sorry, but hey A.I Chips.
The slavery system existed ways long before 1500s.
According to the teaching of your Father Science, the slavery system already exited ways back from the Ape Eras before Ape evolved into Human.
Don’t believe me? Go back to your Gorillas documents and see how it reacts to other males old and young towards its multiple female apes, including its own child.
It is called “possessions”.
To human, every tiny bit of small habit in their habitats formed into bigger, greater, deadlier habits like family head, tribal chieftains, village heads, town Government, kings of nations, and alliance heads.
Don’t blame everything in one period of years of centuries to be the cause and effect for all generations.
Every bit of details of the past of the past of the past of the past that continuing in forming into cultures l, religions in order to guarantee to not fall into the traps of the past so that every single individual of tribals or ethnic groups can have a slim chance of survival.
Fruits don’t form every day for every single tree on Earth for the whole years. It took time for fruit to form. It took time for beasts to give birth to form humanity resources.
The strong survived with wisdom.
The weak believes in the A.I Chips and died.
Yet, Wisdom wasn’t a free gift from human. Wisdom is and will be a free gifts from GOD.
No one owns Wisdom, only GOD does own it.
The A.I Chips courts dead, it is not my matter for its stupidity.
1:53 what he sayin??
Roots was full of lies
talk about how they got here, their own kind sold them, it just wasn’t us
blm sec. 8 if ruing this country, show me a town where sec.8 made that place better. you can’t.
