How was slavery Justified by Americans in deep south at the time?

[Denilson-The-Comeback]

Oh fuck you are deluded. You think blacks are the only ones who got screwed over. White immigrants getting off the boat in the US. My grandfather couldn’t get a job in Boston. There were signs in windows saying Irish need not apply

What you leave out is that the Irish got to where they are because of racism.

• The Irish did not suffer from hundreds of years of slavery - Because they were White.
• The Irish could vote by the 1860s, not the 1960s – Because they were White.
• The Irish qualified for the Homestead Act, the G.I. Bill and FHA loans – Because they were White.
• The Irish could live in nice neighbourhoods and go to nice schools – Because they were White.

Not everyone in the US saw them as fully White. But by the late 1800s, Whiteness in the US had been enlarged to include them and when the Irish first came to the USA in large numbers (in the 1800's) they had had almost no experience with blacks.

But after a short time in the states the Irish were rioting against blacks (as with the New York draft riots during the Civil War) and joining in the barring of blacks from labor unions, opposing school desegregation, and seeking to become white by assimilating to the white WASP system that was firmly in place.

The Irish joined the club of whiteness to the max.

Yes the Irish suffered and many never owned slaves. But whatever stereotypes they may have had then does not impact you now.

If you fill out a job application TODAY : No one cares if you are of Irish background.

• No one follows you around in the store.
• No one assumes you are lazy.
• No one assumes your child-like and can’t take care of yourself.
• No one assumes you're criminal.
• No one tells you are so much better off in America so you should be glad your ancestors were slaves.
• No one acts like they did you a favor or saved you from a backwardness.
• No one displays your human reminds as primitive until the late 70s.
• You don't have to radically change/permanently alter a feature of your body to become accepted or get employment (like hair for example).

You're just another white person.

The same cannot be said for a black person. And how does this relates to slavery ?

The stereotypes were created during slavery as an excuse for enslaving blacks (we are childlike and need guidance, can’t take of ourselves need white help/masters, black women are sex-hungry, baby making machines to explain all the mixed children running around).

Or they were created after slavery to keep whites at the top and blacks at the bottom.

These stereotypes of blacks are to this day are still widely held and even defended by white folks and a few misguided blacks.

None of them are new. They are very old and they are based in slavery and it’s immediate aftermath.

Go spend some time in Afghanistan see how people are treated. You are fake, talk all this shit but smile at the White man wnd shake his hand. Were you in prison?

The past, present and future of Black ppl concern me most. And in that history whites are and have been the main evil. That is just how it is. I did not create the world I find myself in. If I were Darfuri, no doubt I would write about the Arabic-speaking Sudanese. If I were Palestinian, it would be the Israelis and by the way most of the problems in Afghanistan is part of the system of white supremacy.

I was called cracker by black kids before I was ten. Seven year old kids already racist.

I always saw the terms honky or cracker as proof of how much more potent white racism is than black racism. When a group of people has little power over you, they don’t get to define the terms of your existence, they can’t limit your opportunities, and you needn’t worry much about the use of a slur to describe you, since, in all likelihood, the slur is as far as it’s going to go.

What are they going to do next: deny you a bank loan? Yeah, right. It's power and position that gives a racial slur its bite. But black people are well aware that the slurs used against us are the tip of the iceberg.

Black ppl don't have that power towards whites that's why slurs against whites like cracker or honky seem more juvenile than truly offensive

You are a failure by your own accord.

Thank you

Slavery was and is stupid.

It wasn't stupid at all. Many companies that you use benefitted from it



AIG – bought American General Financial which owns US Life Insurance Company. US Life used to insure the lives of slaves.



Aetna insured the lives of slaves in the 1850s.



Bank of America – grew in part out of the Bank of Metropolis, which accepted slaves as collateral.



Harvard Law School – endowed with money from Isaac Royall, an Antiguan slave owner and sugar grower.



JP Morgan Chase – made a fortune from the slave trade.



Princeton – raised money and recruited students from rich, slave-owning families in the South and the Caribbean. Princeton was not alone in hitting up slave owners and traders for money and students. So did:



Wells Fargo – Georgia Railroad & Banking Company and the Bank of Charleston owned or accepted slaves as collateral. They later became part of Wells Fargo by way of Wachovia. (In the 2000s Wells Fargo targeted blacks for predatory lending.)



Yale University – money from slave trading went to its first endowed scholarships, professorship and library.

Universities not only sought and accepted money from slave owners and traders, they helped to create scientific racism.



Tiffany’s – founded with profits from a cotton mill in Connecticut that processed slave-grown cotton.

All these companies (and many more) need to put monies aside to reimburse Black Americans for the free labor they did.

Not to mention the rape, torture, kidnapping, depriving education, thievery, family displacement, lynchings and murder, all crimes against humanity.

The US knows slavery impacted every corner of the world. This is why they don’t talk about reparations for Blacks but gave reparations to the Jews for the Holocaust, This is what MLK talked about before he was murdered by the US.

Black Slaves built the White House. Everything that’s worth talking about in US history leads to “you guessed it” SLAVERY! With that being said, Yes these companies need to pay if the company is worth 10 billion, then that company should pay 40% of that 10 billion and the US government should match every dime from each company.

The sooner you realize that the quicker you can get over your self hatred.

No self hatred with me.

I love how it's never "let's fix the slavery of today" it's always "let's right the wrongs of waaaaay long ago".

How far back do we go Denilson? Why that far back and not farther?

Yes, I think Egypt should pay reparations because the pyramids were built by slave labour in 6000BC

[Master]

Yes, I think Egypt should pay reparations because the pyramids were built by slave labour in 6000BC

I thought the pyramids were built by paid workers.

[p4pking]

I watched something about that recently, they have found fairly sophisticated tombs and dwellings for some of the workers on the pyramids, they were buried with jewelry and nice things etc. Im sure many were slaves, but the things couldnt have been built if that was all of them. What did you really need money for in ancient Egypt anyways, if you had the basic needs met... oh I guess whores, but maybe there were plenty of workers like @walrus around who would take it in exchange for nicely shaped rocks you could find in the sand. I wonder if he watched the same documentary I did and meant to like your post but as usual was to fucking retarded to perform a basic task.

You're thorough! i don't apply everything you say to all whites as that is blanketing an entire race.

Your response on (cracker) (honkey) origin?
I was taught 1. The whip made a cracking sound, thus cracker isn't an insult, rather the cracker, cracks the whip. As taught by old relatives.
By 1940 or so, the whites that drove to Harlem would make their presence known....they're here to pick up a blackwhore by honking the horn.
This as well wasn't started as an insult.
By 1970 it became an insult.
Your take on origin?
