Louisiana's most visited plantation removes sign declaring slaves were 'happy & well taken care of'

[rightwinger]

An official sign declaring that slaves were 'well taken-care of and happy' at Louisiana's most-visited historical site - a former cotton plantation - has been taken down.

It's unclear how long the sign was up at the state-owned and operated Rosedown Plantation, which sits on 374 acres in St. Francisville.

It was on display in the plantation's detached kitchen as part of an exhibit called 'Slave Life at Rosedown.'

About 850 people had been enslaved there before the outbreak of the Civil War, including newborn babies and the elderly. The sign said they lived in 'prettily built and very comfortable' cabins, where they were awoken at 4am, and had 'a natural musical instinct' that was showcased at Christmas.

It goes on...

My question is...why are so many whites so delusional about the worst thing that happened in America, and America's original sin?

Too bad their own people sold them into slavery.

Actually, they didn’t

All the slaves on that plantation were born here

Classic simple mined response. So tell us liar, how did there parents get there? lol

Importation of slaves ended in 1805

 

[rightwinger]

Democrats in that day, were the modern day Republican party today.

Lol there was never a change.. wouldn’t the south today be extremely racist if that was true? All cries of racial oppression only comes from towns run by Democrats

The racist deplorables now belong to the RepubliKlan Party

So why are people of color still crying in the streets of towns run by democrats and not the south any more lol

Are they? I thought they were run by white privilege? And if they aren't crying in the south, they sure as hell should be, based on what I've seen? I'm from the south, and most of what I've seen is poverty for Blacks.

One guy who is crazy doesn’t compare to the urban slaver plantations democrats currently run

What are Republicans doing for our urban population?

In the estate of the slaveholder the master owns all. The art of the potter, the sculptor, the seamstress, the labor of the fieldhands. The master sells the work of the slaves and uses the proceeds for the benefit of the estate including the needs of the slaves. A thoughtful master would provide birth control. It is the free woman who could buy it for herself. But some women would rather have slavery.

You are truly delusional. You want one person to take the fruits and labors of others and then decide who gets what from it, including themselves.Sounds like the trickle down concept the Republicans are always implementing, and we all know how that is not working. The owner would keep almost all of it and dole out the bare minimum to the actual producers.
Are you one of the women who would rather be a slave to someone than provide for yourself? Sounds like it to me. Well, if that's what you want, I'm sure you can find a man who would be willing to do it as long as you did what he demanded, or until he grew tired of you and threw you aside.
And what about the family who is having to work several jobs just to make ends meet thanks to the greedy employers who keep all of the profits for themselves and pay them almost nothing? Where will they get the extra money to send their child to any kind of school? Is the kid just supposed to stay illiterate and uneducated?
You have a very black view of life and I would hate to be you. What you seem to want is a country run like NK where the leader doles out the bare minimum to it's citizens and tells them they should be grateful for the crumbs that are barely keeping them alive. All the while living like a king with all of the riches for himself. It's no wonder you worship at the feet of tramp because it's what he wants too. But I think you would be in for a surprise when you find yourself on the receiving end of the crumbs instead of the riches.

You seem to have a fixation on "slavery" and our love for it. Which we all have come to learn from you is people wanting free shit. That said, through the ACA, the number of women getting free birth control dropped to 7.5 million. A drop of half of what it was thanks to a program women actually pay for. Factor that slave program in with sports socialism and farm bill insurance, the free slavery stuff just jumped up dramatically in cost;

"In the estate of the slaveholders", the football players, coaches, owners, and stadiums, take a guess what this slave gets? Zero!

And the budget for financing those slaveholders, far exceeds the budget for financing birth control of the 7.5 million women slaves.

You seem to be far behind the times when it comes to understanding the apples for apples game, and how it works. Your priorities are in the wrong spot.

Most of Trump's old, uneducated white base won't believe it.

They think that the blacks were well taken care of as slaves.

How is Trump a racist? He was loved by Oprah, snoop dog, will smith, the entire rap community, that is, until he decided to run for President....now he is a racist...

You people are so ******* obvious in your hate and actual racism.

I didn't say he was a racist.

I said that Trump's old, uneducated white base believes that blacks were treated well as slaves.

I don't want a master. I don't want anyone to have a master. You keep what you make. If you don't have enough tough noogies. Make do or do without. No one owes you jack. I have always taken care of myself. I put myself though college to two masters degrees. I put myself though law school and built a successful law firm. Alone. No student loans. But I'll bet you're married aren't you? You are one of those women who traded ***** for three hots and a squat aren't you?

Take care of yourself. Take care of yourself. Take care of your own children. If you can't afford to pay for their education you will just have to tell them to put themselves through school or become a well paid plumber.

No sympathy. Don't bother asking.

 

[BWK]

A just and generous master would treat his slaves equally. None would receive more than another.

What in God's name are you talking about? There is no such thing as a "generous master". And why would we have one to start with? This is crazy talk.

Under freedom, taxes would not be used for schools.

Without taxes there wouldn't be any schools, so how would that be a freedom, when we just eliminated it by not taxing its existence?

Parents would have that money and do with it what they will.

And what would they do with that money? This doesn't make any sense.

The slow, the disadvantaged, the disabled might not receive the same education as the affluent. They might find themselves in a trade school or apprenticeship program.

How do you know they can accomplish trade school activities? What happened to their freedom to choose? Again, this makes no sense.

There would be no nonsense courses like the History of Transgenderism.

We have serious problems with education now. Many families, mostly Asian and White, have an intense emphasis on education. There is school, after school and tutoring all overseen by Tiger Moms.

And overseen by privilege.

Then we have children attending schools where the teachers mostly try to avoid student violence.

Ah yes, code for budget cuts.

Our system doesn't work and has never worked. It needs a good triage.

Your freedom to choose is limited by your ability. The world cannot be made equal or fair. You are sliding into nonsense. Having lost, you are casting about for a new discussion. One that you can win.

"Under freedom, taxes would not be used for schools." That is your quote. So, if I am a recipient of "freedom" by not paying taxes for school, how is it also a "freedom" if I am limited by my ability? Didn't I just lose my freedom? And before you answer, so I don't start sounding like an idiot myself in this discussion, what is your concept of "freedom" in all this? Because you really aren't making any sense.

Racist is made up. It's become the catch all for I don't like that. Trump wasn't racist when he was the only country club to admit blacks.

Democrats have become so ridiculous that their speed is complaining about two scoops of ice cream and no sprinkles.

I already have. It isn't a "freedom" while you've been calling it a "freedom." If "freedom" from paying taxes for schools were a reality, but dictated by my abilities, then there never was any "freedom."Thanks for the clarification.

I love idiots who think that their success is entirely due to their own efforts. Alone. Nobody taught them anything. Nobody ever extended them courtesy, or hired them for a job, or gave them a chance.

I don't believe for a New York minute that you're a lawyer, because you're so utterly ignorant of American law and justice. You have no business sense so you're not a corporate lawyer, and you don't use any sort of debating style, other than to insult those you have disagreements with.

No one on the face of the earth has ever built a law practice "alone". They need bankers, programmers, accountants, government agencies to protect their intellectual property, and the entire court system to make it all work. They have to hire and depend on paralegals, receptionists, and secretaries to complete the work, and clients - to give them work, to send referrals.

The only people who make it entirely on their own, are people living on a deserted island. If you drove a car to work, someone built that road for you. If you walked, someone built the sidewalk. Taxes are your share of the costs of living in a first world country.

Yes, YOU have to work hard, but without ALL of the people who rented you facilities, sold you equipment, wrote your software programs, who worked for you as paralegals, secretaries and bookkeepers, and the people who hired you to represent them, you'd have nothing.

 

[Marion Morrison]

The photographs of starving naked Africans, in Africa, are much worse then the photographs of clothed and well fed slaves of the antebellum south. Were some beaten? Sure. Did they deserve it? I have no idea. Injuring a slave and reducing its value would not be a practice widely performed. They were an investment.

The answer to your question is, none of them deserved to be beaten, because none of them should have been there to begin with. I'll ask you again. Who are you who gets to decide dominion over a man or woman?

I have decided nothing for no one. I recognize that the person who wants everything provided to them without cost is a natural slave only wanting a just and generous master.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the price of apples. You are playing up to ignorance, arrogrance, superiority, and racism, to weaponize your justifications. And everyone sees that for what it is. It's actually the exact reasons why we recruited slaves to begin with. You need lots of soul searching and education. And growing a heart, won't hurt anything either.

The observeration came from Marcus Aurelius in 161.

"The natural state of most people is the state of slavery. They only want for a just and generous master. "

I, of course, never mentioned race. You saw it but it wasn't there. The longing for a caring master belongs equally to white people. There are certainly plenty of white people demanding everything from free cosmetic surgery to free lap dances paid for on the EBT card.

Of course! During Roman times, the theme was, give the people bread and circus. And since thousands were enslaved, what else could they possibly live for? There is no "natural state of slavery" Get that in your head. That is a manipulation of the brain to control large populations. It's been done for centuries. There is nothing "natural" about it. It's a manipulation of the masses to control them. What do you think Trump tries to do every day with his base? He manipulates their brains to cheer lead against their own interests. Emperors and Oligarchs have been doing this since civilization began. Wake up people.

What own interests of people does Trump manipulate them to "cheerlead" against?

I'll wait..
