So I assume you believe blacks today are no quite human.It certainly should. Slavery exploits and degrades human beings for financial gain. The concept of race as we know it today did not exist before the 17th century. Prior to that time race referred to kinship. In order to justify slavery, we began looking at physical features of African slaves versus their masters. Thus we began associating characteristics with African slaves, low intelligence, lack of morals, and physical similarities to animals such as monkeys an gorillas. So it became easy to think of them as non-human, just beasts of field to be bought and sold.Every time that I think or read about American slavery it makes me white-hot mad. I’m not sure if that healthy, but it happens. And, I think about American slavery ALL THE TIME.
Our forefathers viewed them as not quite human savages.
Our forefathers were much wiser than we.
