Why should we celebrate traitors to our country ?
It's history. What next? Remove Civil War information from text books because the Confederacy has to be mentioned?
Nope, just write the confederacy for what it was .. a shit stain on American history.
Nothing 'glorious' about it.
. Set aside the need for slave labor as was thought of back in that time period, and then let's look at what type of white culture existed back then, and for which had existed outside of the workings of slavery, plantations, and all that was going on in that area of the time period. Otherwise let's look at the difference between Nazi's and Germans in the same ways maybe...
Now how do you think the white culture (aside from the plantation owners) looked at a people who were pulled out of Africa, put onto plantations as slave labor back then ????? A people who were put there because of their physical attributes, mentality, and vulnerabilities right ???
Is it perceived that the whites were a more acceptable civilized white culture & society at that time period ?? The fear of the unknowns found in the African people was a sad state of affairs in which they (the Africans) were caught up in, and it made whites highly skeptical of the Africans being accepted into their society at large back then, and for years to come afterwards... This caused a rejection of them (the Africans) to be openly accepted by the majority of whites at the time, and it was of no fault of the Africans that this was happening, because they were brought here from a culture that was so very different than the European culture here was at the time ??
It's sad in the way that the two were brought together back in that time period, but that's all history now... It made for a sad situation that had consequences for years and years to come for both sides. Now to be fair, the African Americans if we're established here first back then, would they have also have rejected a people in the same way if the shoe were on the other foot maybe ? For example below :
African Americans are just like anyone else right, where as they are not willing to compromise their culture, ideals, family values, and safety as Americans by allowing for example, a skin head culture to come into their community for a myriad of reasons right ?? Not to say there is a comparison between African Americans and the skin heads, but the perception was the same back then or during slavery time I mean to illustrate maybe... The same thinking would also be found amongst the African Americans as were the whites back then on the matter if the situation was the same I think.. So what if the skin heads wanted to join up with, and infiltrate the black culture, and go with their daughters, and impact their childrens thinking etc. ???
Now what if these skin heads were brought here from another land to be worked as slaves on plantations, and then you as a black person were to see them in the fields working, and you would say to your father " father, why are those people out there in those fields working like that father", and why do you see some of them with chains on their feet father ??? Then your black father would says to you son, "well son you see they came here from a land far far away, and they were sold here as laborers by the other skin heads that occupied their lands". The black son says next... Father, did they do something wrong that they were sold like that, and now they have to be in that situation ???? The black father says, I'm not sure son, but that probably could be the case, so stay away from them ok... I ask would the same rejection be given by the blacks unto them in such a case ? Do they really understand what's wrong with skinhead culture, and would they be willing to work to help them reform or would they just want them dead or sent back if we're freed ??
Was there a huge cultural clash between what the whites knew about these Africans, and what they didn't know about the Africans fully at the time, and for whom had a very strange culture in which had allowed them to be captured by their own people, and then sold into slavery across vast stretches of oceans all over the world ? Was there a fear that Africans weren't living right as a culture, and this was thought of by the whites throughout time because of the situation they were in, and then to have allowed such a thing to take place against them as it were ?? Did this cause a looking down upon or a disrespect to happen because of the terrible things that they had allowed to take place against them as a people back then ??? Did the whites figure that such a thing was not to be allowed to be transferred into the white culture, so the white culture felt it best to reject the Africans at the time, because of the situation that they had gotten themselves into, and couldn't get themselves out of ?? Just trying to understand history, and why things happen is all. It was all a huge misunderstanding on everyone's parts back then, but we sure have come along way from that craziness over time.
