Tom Paine's writing about "African Slavery

[TipOfTheIceberg]

From the grreatest american patriot in history, America's godfather, Tom Pain.

I would hope that all the Christains here read it. Racists too.

Thomas Paine: African Slavery In America

 

[Pogo]

A passage that should be required reading for the racists on this site:

>> The Managers the Trade themselves, and others testify, that many of these African nations inhabit fertile countries, are industrious farmers, enjoy plenty, and lived quietly, averse to war, before the Europeans debauched them with liquors, and bribing them against one another; and that these inoffensive people are brought into slavery, by stealing them, tempting Kings to sell subjects, which they can have no right to do, and hiring one tribe to war against another, in order to catch prisoners. By such wicked and inhuman ways the English are said to enslave towards one hundred thousand yearly; of which thirty thousand are supposed to die by barbarous treatment in the first year; besides all that are slain in the unnatural ways excited to take them. So much innocent blood have the managers and supporters of this inhuman trade to answer for to the common Lord of all! <<​

Thanks for the reply. I see the racists do not have the intellect to reply. Well, fuck them all.

We can point them right back here the next time they try the old "b-but...but.. Africans were enslaving each other so it's OK!" song and dance.
