NOTE: I offer this as an illustration how some so-called Americans want to view the institution of slavery in America. Not my ideas or thoughts. Just wanted to let my readers know what is being said and written where they probably do not go on-line. Again NOT my thoughts at all!
This time it is the “Truth About Slavery”…..that title alone should make an intelligent person suspicious. (In case you are wondering this site would allow Trump to enter from the back)….
We are continually misled by progressive propaganda on the issue of race. Misinformation bleeds over to the conservative realm as well. The media, Hollywood, and academia are consumed with race, tribalism, and hatred for our Founding. The real agenda here is power, divide and conquer to pursue some ill-conceived Utopia.
The truth is that violence is part of the Left’s playbook. They are opportunists and provocateurs ready for any excuse to attack our freedom. Much of the violence we see is a planned political strategy taking advantage of the crisis du jour.
Racism is not our Achilles Heel. It is the ubiquitous manipulation and exploitation of race and racism that threatens our way of life. Political operatives masquerading as journalists feed the hate 24/7.
Sailing against prevailing winds, we continue to search for truth.
The points that this site emphasizes are:
Slavery’s salient points:
- Slavery’s been part of every culture on every inhabited continent throughout history
- Africans conquered other Africans, enslaved them, and sold them for profit
- It existed in Western indigenous peoples for centuries before Columbus arrived
- Considered a fact of life until 17th century Christians attacked its immorality

So basically because it was part of the history we need to tolerate the racism that is flourishing in this country.
Tired aging excuse for the institution of slavery and the justification of continued racial inequality in this country.
Learn Stuff!
American Thinker my ass! To me it is just a version of scientific racism…..Scientific racism, the recourse to science to justify and rationalize hierarchical comparison between human populations…..Scientific racism is an attempt to co-opt the authority of science to justify racial prejudice. Race is a product of culture and human imagination; it has no scientific basis. The ideas presented by proponents of scientific racism are designed to make racism seem scientific and acceptable, when in reality, it is neither. PERIOD!
An interesting read on our Constitution……
The Constitution: A Pro-Slavery or Anti-Slavery Document?
More reading if interested in the history of this country….
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
There can never be any justification for it, whether it existed in Ancient Greece, Rome, and Africa.
Best wishes, Pete.
I agree….but that does not stop reactionaries from trying to put a positive spin on the barbarity. chuq
Plus I want to see how many have forgotten about the protests of last month….chuq
I can only shake my head – division is what they want and have used that playbook FOREVER
But there are those that buy the lie of the “Lost Cause” as well……we need to stop looking for justification and condemn it for all time…..thanx for the comment….chuq
Thank you Chuq for your correct thoughts
My pleasure and hope to see you often chuq
