Why Can't the Left Let Go of Slavery?

If they declared victory over slavery and racism they would lose their black enslaved voter base because Blacks would rise up and better themselves and leave the dems plantation....and the white rich greedy power mad liberals just won't have any of that....

Don’t Want to Be Your Grudge Slave​

The British brought slavery to the New World and Americans ended it roughly 230 years later. Every black person descended from slaves owes a debt to their ancestors’ struggles. The abomination of slavery is the reason most black people are here, in the greatest country in the world. I’m guessing almost every black American lives a better life than their counterparts in the modern-day Ivory Coast, where many slaves came from, and where today almost 50% of the country lives in poverty (African poverty, not American iPhone poverty) and the life expectancy for men and women is under 60 years. The poverty rate in Liberia, settled by liberated slaves, is even worse.
Yet some people just can’t let slavery go. Olympic hammer-tosser/headline-hustler Gwen Berry was “pissed” when the National Anthem was played after she won the bronze medal and made it to the Olympic team, even narcissistically suggesting it was a “setup” against her. Why else would they play the National Anthem at an Olympic American sports event other than to piss off an athlete no one has ever heard of in a sport no one knew was a sport?

Factually, Slavery only existed in the United States of America for 89 years, 1776-1865.
The Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commies wants to remember when slavery was the law and people were subject and obliged to obey slavery laws. The left needs and wants slaves.
PM/DSA Commies can’t win by productivity.
PM/DSA Commies have discovered they can only win by disqualifying the productive: abuse cultural norms of fairness and culpability (whatever those are at the time) to eject the objectively productive, that competition be removed up for grabs. Having vanquished those who actually do the work, a “cargo cult” follows - having seized the trappings of success, they expect the fruits of productivity will follow; that failing (to their surprise), they handle subsequent supply-and-demand problems by reducing demands - first by rationing, eventually by slaughter. As seen in all Communist totalitarian regimes....
Because it is the only excuse for black American failure.But that hardly explains black global failure.
 
Oddball you should tell them "You can donate your money anytime you want. You should donate your money now to your cause and it might inspire other people."
 
So black people should quietly accept being second class citizens because things are not so great in Africa? In what bizarro world does that make sense?
How are black people second class citizens? Why do you make false statements?
I heard the "they are better off here than in Africa" argument back during the civil rights era and ever since. It's terribly insulting. I have to conclude it was meant that way.
Is the statement true?

I'm still waiting for you to explain your motherfucking idiotic "second-class citizens" statement.

Because the United States has never acknowledged, apologized and atoned for slavery, black codes, the convict leasing system, Jim Crow, separate but equal (which of course never was) which was essentially codified racial discrimination against black people, redlining, racial deed restrictions, "whites only" water fountains, restrooms, restaurants, hotels, etc., etc. etc. not to mention the stolen wealth in terms of outright theft and theft of labor, loss of interest, denial of access to the justice system, again, etc. etc. etc. Oh and let's not forget the oftentimes just cruel and sadistic treatment of black people by whites that was sanctioned by United States law.

I'm sure I left out a bunch of stuff but that should be enough to give you an idea.

Oh and the most important part I forgot to mention is that because the racial discriminatory acts and hatred are still occurring in 2021 in spite of it being unlawful is probably the biggest reason why much progress isn't being made on that front.

The struggle for equality is clearly not over yet. This is easily provable by the fact that you think you need to oppose finally wringing the racism out of the system. What does it cost you if another man gets the same as you?

If that were all you wanted, you're already there. Clearly, the only way you will be satisfied is with full-blown socialism. You're fooling no one.

But, I agree that this nation was flawed from the start.

We need to destroy it and start over. We'll go back to being the Republic of Texas and the rest of you can goose-step your asses right off a fucking cliff.

You don't even want to be in a country where you have no arbitrary advantage over every black man do you? Poor boomer. You lived long enough to become totally dumbfounded by the pace of change.

You want people to apologize and atone for something that they are not responsible for?

Slavery actually existed on this continent "prior" to the creation of the United States, so it was longer than 89 years.
That being said, it was a more primitive period in human history and slavery existed across the planet. The last being ended (on paper) in 1962.
It is a topic that every nation should have in history classes involving their own nations.
Now.....that being said, the United States under the "Stars and Stripes" flag is the only nation that went to war against it, costing the lives of 360,000 northern troops. Idiots like Macy Gray who (I admired for her success and am now ashamed to say I did) says that our flag should be replaced, seems to be unaware that black troops in the Civil War, fought to ensure their freedom while carrying the Stars and Stripes into battle and Buffalo Soldiers in the Old West, served to preserve the union while carrying the Stars and Stripes.
As to why there are many blacks who cannot let it go, is because of two reasons (in my opinion):
1. If after the slavery issue ended in 1865, the nation had moved on and treated ALL blacks and other minorities as equals, we wouldn't have heard much more about it, however, they kept being oppressed, persecuted and murdered, from 1865 into the mid-twentieth century.
2. The leftist politicians like to "use" blacks in their campaigns. They really don't give a damn about them, only their vote, so they keep offering "handouts" in exchange for votes, so they claim the blacks are victims. The problem with this is, "if you hear a lie often enough, you will come to believe it."
The facts though are far from the leftist propaganda. There is absolutely NO occupation that blacks don't work in and thus, "no glass-ceiling" as the saying goes. Even our highest office in the land, the presidency, was held by a black for the maximum period a person can be president and if racism was so rampant, a black wouldn't have been president, without the white vote as well. A black can be anything he or she wants to be with study, hard work and a bit of luck (for life isn't fair and even if you do everything right, it doesn't guarantee you will achieve your ultimate goal and racism will unlikely be the reason for it).

I'm surprised you know about her although I doubt that she isn't more well known due to being republican, she exposed a lot of white people:
Ida B. Wells-Barnett
Ida Bell Wells-Barnett was an American investigative journalist, educator, and early leader in the civil rights movement. She was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People​
1862-1931

By Arlisha R. Norwood, NWHM Fellow | 2017

Ida B Wells-Barnett


Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a prominent journalist, activist, and researcher, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In her lifetime, she battled sexism, racism, and violence. As a skilled writer, Wells-Barnett also used her skills as a journalist to shed light on the conditions of African Americans throughout the South.

Ida Bell Wells was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi on July 16th, 1862. She was born into slavery during the Civil War. Once the war ended Wells-Barnett’s parents became politically active in Reconstruction Era politics. Her parents instilled into her the importance of education. Wells-Barnett enrolled at Rust College but was expelled when she started a dispute with the university president. In 1878, Wells-Barnett went to visit her grandmother. While she was there Wells-Barnett was informed that a yellow fever epidemic had hit her hometown. The disease took both of Wells-Barnett’s parents and her infant brother. Left to raise her brothers and sister, she took a job as a teacher so that she could keep the family together. Eventually, Wells-Barnett moved her siblings to Memphis, Tennessee. There she continued to work as an educator.

In 1884, Wells-Barnett filed a lawsuit against a train car company in Memphis for unfair treatment. She had been thrown off a first-class train, despite having a ticket. Although she won the case on the local level, the ruling was eventually overturned in federal court.

After the lynching of one of her friends, Wells-Barnett turned her attention to white mob violence. She became skeptical about the reasons black men were lynched and set out to investigate several cases. She published her findings in a pamphlet and wrote several columns in local newspapers. Her expose about an 1892 lynching enraged locals, who burned her press and drove her from Memphis. After a few months, the threats became so bad she was forced to move to Chicago, Illinois.

I have met many black people who have only just recently immigrated to America from Africa.

I have to assume that in their opinion they really are better off in America or else they would not have left Africa to come here.

If African Americans who are descendants of former slaves on America feel insulted — one would have to compare the terms and conditions of modern immigration and naturalization with those of employment versus indentured servitude of African immigrants to America in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

That was a very strange period. It is true the slaves were kept in chains, white women's waists were cinched in tight corsets, and children were born hunchbacked.
 
Very few people are committed to mental hospitals lol. Wacky post dude
Very many, in fact, in the U.S., and you are a liar. Civil commitment as a form of involuntary servitude is in fact a quick and easy, absolutely foolproof way to revoke anyone's gun rights for any reason, no questions asked, no defense, no recourse, and no appeal on this life.


If you're slave, in other words a person who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution, you will never be allowed to own a firearm in this life.

Meanwhile, as an anti-gun enthusiast you agree to the law of restricting firearm sales to people under 21 years of age. While males and females of 17 (with parental permission), or 18 years of age are allowed to enlist into the military and handle weaponry larger than rifles or pistols.
Seemingly you are also not satisfied with the Brady Bill which requires a mandated federal background checks on firearm purchasers in the United States, restricting (denying) the sale of firearms to felons, ex felons and drug users.
