White Texas Pastor Breaks Down How Slavery Was a ‘Blessing’ To Black Folks

They were also promised 40 acres and a mule. How many of them had ever been to Africa and what country in Africa were they going to return to. Of course they did, most folks who have helped build something loves it. Did Jewish folks love Germany in 1945? How many love it today?
No one was promised forty acres and a mule. That's an urban legend.
From Wikki:
"Forty acres and a mule refers to a key part of Special Field Orders, No. 15 (series 1865), a wartime order proclaimed by Union general William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865, during the American Civil War, to allot land to some freed families, in plots of land no larger than 40 acres. Sherman later ordered the army to lend mules for the agrarian reform effort. The field orders followed a series of conversations between Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton and Radical Republican abolitionists Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens following disruptions to the institution of slavery provoked by the American Civil War. They provided for the confiscation of 400,000 acres (160,000 ha) of land along the Atlantic coast of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and the dividing of it into parcels of not more than 40 acres on which were to be settled approximately 18,000 formerly enslaved families and other black people then living in the area."

Sherman didn't have the authority to make such a promise, and it was rescinded four months later.
 
Are you ******* kidding me? Rarely abused?
yes. A slave was more valuable than a cow, mule or horse and no smart owner abused any of those. Did it happen? YES, but it didn't happen often. For one reason an abused slave couldn't work and a slave that couldn't work was a financial loss to the owner.

You have no clue what you’re talking about.

Treatment of Slaves in the United States​

Living Conditions​

Slaves in the United States faced harsh living conditions. They were often housed in basic wooden huts, which they built themselves. These homes were poorly constructed, lacking furniture, and often overcrowded. Basic clothing was provided only once a year, and food quality was generally poor and insufficient.

Punishments and Abuse​

Enslaved individuals were treated as property and had no legal rights. They could be whipped or beaten for not working hard enough, and attempts to escape were met with severe punishments, including death. Sexual abuse was common, with many female slaves subjected to rape and forced into concubinage.

Family Separation​

Families were frequently torn apart due to the sale of one or more members. This separation often meant that family members would never see each other again, causing immense emotional trauma.

Medical Care​

Medical treatment for slaves was inadequate. Care was usually provided by fellow slaves or occasionally by slaveholders, with little access to professional medical help. Some slaves had medical skills and relied on traditional remedies for health issues.

Summary of Experiences​

Survivors of slavery described their experiences as being robbed of their families, homes, and basic human rights. The institution of slavery was marked by brutality, exploitation, and a complete lack of autonomy.

Who said we should?

They just got White Privilege.
You mean the privilege to starve in the street when their employers turned them out without notice?

You are the one saying whites got a lot of free stuff that blacks didn't which is a lie.

You were privileged and you got a lot of advantages over black folks.

You reaslly hav e no clue.

This reminds me of a joke

A boy one day, black he was, decided to try to be white. HE took his moms shoe polish and covered himself turning into a white boy.
His mom found out and screamed at him, wash that white polish off. She was pissed. He shouted, I just been white for an hour and already you blacks piss me off.

Sure, he had the authority to do it, after Lincoln was assassinated, President Andrew Johnson reversed the order. The land was returned to its previous owners, and black people were forced to leave and then Jim Crow Laws were created to keep black folks in an inequality position that we were in during slavery.
