I remember reading about this. Pretty sickening.

Of course, last time it was posted, it turned into a typical CE argument about how they weren't really slaves but rather indentured servants who were simply trying to pay off their debts

I would hope the farm owner in that story got punished after the family was rescued. article doesn't explain what happened when Mae was found by that car. just says they "rescued the family".

Reality doesn't depend on the words we use to describe it.


I can think of more than a few people that need that explained to them

Far too merciful in my eyes. They should feel the same pain they inflicted upon others.

there is something deeply wrong with the psyche of much of the American South and sadly it hasn't improved nearly enough in these past 50 plus years.

Ah okay. Neat. Do you know which 5 states don't recognize it or whatever? I didn't see that listed in the article and I hadn't heard of it before so I'm wondering if my state is one of them.

they didn't think they were a fellow man. they were able to rationalize doing it because they convinced themselves the victims were not humans . they also would point to specific things in the bible and twist words around to say it's ok. cause of this stuff, I think it shows that on some level they knew it was wrong, but they were working to convince themselves it was ok so they could keep doing it.

Of course. Social welfare programs. I do hard work, others benefit from it.

Pennsylvania governor has declared Juneteenth a state holiday

First congressional hearing in over a decade on
a house bill to study reparations happened today as well

That's the thing, they don't view them as other human beings, much less fellows.

Disgusting.

In my high schools AP US history we covered the sharecropping phenomenon for sure. Just a few paragraphs in and thats what this is describing - key word is indebted. If theyre just covering the atrocities that continued up to the Civil Rights movement, this isnt anything new besides finding new primary sources.
