Slavery and the Founders

[MrGrevy]

Too bad the negroes in Africa and the jews were actually responsible for the slave trade. Plus, negroes were not considered human back then - so get it right.

[sims24025]

land of the indigenous holocaust and home of the slaves

[KEVLANEW80]

Yea

[KingsleyEnnis1]

If not for NIGGERS, There would be no AIDS !!

[AroundSun]

I like how the Second Amendment came right after the first. Think about it...

[mikerosas31]

highest praise, guess ur right it just took 400 years after ur anscestors

[lilpixmusic]

FUCK YOU!!IM HAITIAN, SO YOUR NOT GOING TO PULL THIS BULLSHIT AND GET AWAY LIKE THAT!!ITS NOT ONLY ABOUT JUST THE BLACK SLAVES FORCEFULLY BROUGHT FROM AFRICA TO AMERICA, YOU'RE NOT ACCOUNTING FOR WHAT AMERICA DID FOR ALL AFRICAN SLAVES IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE!!THE CARRIBEAN ESPECIALLY!!EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU INSULT US!!!

[TheRollModels]

Btw my last 4 posts continue on from each other, the oldest upwards

(1.Yeah Jefferson laid the way for the civil rights movement...)

(2.Jefferson also believed in Polygenisis)

(3.He was but a man of his time)

(4.Whilst a denouncer of SLAVERY)

[TheRollModels]

Whilst a denouncer of SLAVERY, Jefferson didn't have blacks or non-whites in general in mind when writing the constitution. An unfortunate fact of history but a fact nonetheless.

Sorry Duke.

[christianitymustfall]

@TheRollModels -My favorite New and Old Test Verses. God and Christ know exactly whose lives are not important: Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. -Ephesians 6:5

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. Exodus 21:20-21

[mjconley12]

@TheRollModels Agreed, but he opened the door for them.

[TheRollModels]

He was but a man of his time, and you can't really judge him by our standards as you 'DukeofWillington' are trying to do... Hegel recognised that in the same time period; "every individual is a child of his time; so philosophy too is its own time apprehended in thought." As the American Rick Roderick said, the most dangerous threat to ideology is the ideology ITSELF, as people may one day expect you to live up to it...

[TheRollModels]

Jefferson also believed in Polygenisis, whereby Blacks were in fact a different species, not sharing the common ancestry of Whites (Adam & Eve). In 1781 Jefferson wrote in his Notes on the State of Virginia: that blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to whites in the endowments both of body and mind (Jefferson, 1964:[132-38]).

Continued....

[TheRollModels]

Yeah Jefferson laid the way for the civil rights movement....by NOT granting the black slaves in America any civil rights in the first place. Jefferson may have occasionally condemned the slave trade but he wasn't active in seeking abolition like Burke, Beattie, Paley or Condorcet. You are skimming over the fact Jefferson was a racist, like the majority in his time. He thought Native American's were retarded by environmental factors and that blacks were congenitally inferior (Diggins 1976: 212)

[pvbaelen]

This was written by Jefferson in the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence (you can find it on the web). It was removed from the final draft and replaced with milder condemnation on the insistence of the reps from Ga. and S.C.

He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life & liberty -- continued below

[pvbaelen]

in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them to slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportations thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain determining to keep open a market..

[pvbaelen]

where MEN should be bought & sold this excrable commerce and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distiguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms against us, and to purchase that liberty

of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another. in every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms:

[longj11]

everybody is adding things extra to do the history that they dont know now for fact. I dont know what book everybody read but it sounds like they all contradicting itself. Im sticking with the original history in the history book. They got it written for reason

[exfoi34]

It is true that many races of people partook of some form of slavery. Only the caucasians though established a global market of not only slavery, but, outright genocide. Totally robbing africans of mind, body, and soul. some contemporary whites may not endorse slavery or admit they are the most guilty, but, how many of these contemporaries are willing to surrender their dominance and allow the righteous to rule and govern the earth?

[mackj100]

you guys should cut the crap with this b.s. Trying to justify the evils of your fathers. Anyone who would minimize what happend is an agent of and a like-minded devil

[BullshipDetector]

Yes dumb fuck we know the slave owners were vile Nazi fucks -- only Nazis would never dream of raping slaves, then selling their own children from rape.

Sorry pill dumb fuck - you can;t defend slavery. 100% of Southern leaders were slave raping child molesting fucks. Almost 100% of the officers.

Over 2/3 of the soldiers deserted the CSA by the end of the war. They got tired of the slave rapers getting them killed so they could keep raping slaves and sell children.

[azariah15reeves]

The founding fathers were hypocrites of the worst kind. To devise a document condeming King George for his tyranny and oppression while upholding and advancing the notion that men should kept as slaves is appalling and Godless

[MarkDouglasC]

azariah -- wrong -- salvery was not mentioned in the Constitution.

US was founded on the IDEA of "all men created equal" - and "consent of governed"

The Founding fathers knew slavery was evil and the intent was to end it -- granted, as soon as they got done raping their slaves and profiting from slaves.

But the US Constitution and Declaration of INdependence were very strong for freedom.

Compare that to Confederacy which was literally FOUNDED on slavery.

[EducatedRebellion101]

Yes, the Bible was used to justify horrible things, from slavery in the South, to the brutality of slaughtering women and children in the book of Deuteronomy. Also, Exodus 3:15 says "this is Yahweh, this is the god of WAR." The Bible is one of the most contradictory mind controlling aspects of old and modern society. BUT that does NOT mean that all southerners used that logic, no one is mentioning that NOT ONE Confederate state had over 50 % slave owners, even Mississippi was under at 49 %

[ran61]

According to the US Census taken prior to the Civil War only 1.4% of whites in the entire US owned slaves. In the South the number was a little over 3% of whites that owned slaves. Prior to the end of the civil war roughly 3700 free blacks owned over 12,000 slaves in the US. The are numbers from the US Census I believe from 1830.

[MarkDouglasC]

ran nonsense -- try 50% of white families in South Carolina owned slaves.

Nearly 100% of the Confederate leaders got rich on slave profit, slave pussy.

Many whites in the South hated the Confederacy and fought against them. 25% of Union troops came from slave states -- they knew the Confederates were slave raping child selling scum.

[ran61]

Name your source that 50% of whites on slaves in SC.

It is basic fact that not all southerners were pro-slavery and many wished it would end. Most of the founding fathers were against slavery. That is why that slavery was not written into the Constitution.

You make it sound as if all plantations were nothing but sex orgies. No argument there were slave owners that mistrteated their slaves mentally, physically, & sexually.

[MarkDouglasC]

Educated -- nearly 100% of Confederate leaders had slaves. That means they raped them, sold the children, whipped them.

Many of the NON slave owners in the South hated the slave raping Confederacy and fought AGAINST them in the Civil war.

25% of Union soldiers came from slave states -- to FIGHT the Confederacy

[12FlyMe]

Lake - great point.

Southern USA conservatives had ONE excuse for slavery -- GOD told them to. It was ORDAINED by GOD, they said. They said everyone on earth knew GOD wanted white men to enslave black -- they were only doing what GOD wanted.

Of course the real reason they had slaves wasn't GOD at all - it was power, prestige and pussy. The free pussy they could rape anytime, any way, was a huge bonus for scum sucking southerners. Plus they sold the children from the rapes.

[ran61]

Southern USA Democrats had ONE excuse for slavery ...

There fixed it for you.

[BullshipDetector]

RAN  the southern Democrats were the conservatives--- and are direct link to todays GOPs. The conservatives called themselves Democrats until 1964 -1965, when they changed to GOP because of Civil Rights legislation enacted by LBJ.

Within a few years, almost all the democrats in the south changed to GOP, people like Bob Barr, Newt GIngrich, Dick Armey. Many millions of conservative scum who called themselve dems, switched to call themselves GOP.

IOW, the party labels switched.

[Pillboxesghost]

Hey 12FuckYou (aka. RonPaulHates Blacks & ItchyMyFoot) a CW site TROLL)

It was ALL the fault of those mean 'ole Southern Whites (and no one else!)wasn't it? And you personally know every one of 'em was EVIL thru and thru. Whether they owned slaves or not -- evil to the core!

You are a TROLL who spews delusional fairytales as history. When called out as a fraud and lier you are unable to produce any creditable source to back up

your fantacies!

You ARE a lieing fraud and TROLL!!

[12FlyMe]

Name a conservative who praised god for slavery? Jesus, are you NUTS? Try Lee for one -- try Jefferson Davis, any of them. EVERY single slave owner that ever said ANYTHING about slavery, said it was God's will, dumb ass.

What the fuck justification do you fucking think they used? Really --what the fuck justification do you think they used?

GOD told them to have slaves, was the bullshit you idiot. If you don't kow this about the south, you don't know shit about the situation.

[ran61]

Jefferson Davis was a conservative? Prove it. You make a lot of statements, but have no facts only emotion. So all black slave owners in the south were conservative also. According to the 1830 US Census 3775 free blacks owned 12470 slaves in the south. Only 1.4 % of the whites in the US in 1830 owned slaves. Slavery and Jim Crow never would have ended without the whites supporting the end of the practice of segregation. Look who vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Conservatives passed it.

[12FlyMe]

Where is my outrage? Maybe you fucking say it when I called the slave raping scum a bunch of bastards, who are burning in hell if there is one.

I don't know that there is any legal slavery anywhere. But I know the conservatives in USA praised god for slaves.

If you think free pussty and the ability to diddle your slaves wasnt a huge motivation for slavery, you don't have a clue about what motivates men.

[ran61]

Name a conservative who praised God for slaves. You may be surprised to hear slavery is against conservative ideals and values. No true conservative can be for the ownership of an individual by another. You watch too much bad television if you think slavery was just about fornication. Slavery throughout human history was used to increase the ecomnomic power of a conquering nation over those whom they conquered. The victors took prisoners into slavery to keep them subservient and did abuse them.

[edavismookie25]

John C. Calhoun-"Slavery is a God given institution and is no more evil than a man over his own household ". Who is more conservative than this?

[ran61]

As a conservative I strongly disagree with John C. Calhoun. I have not met a conservative in my life time that thought slavery was a good instituition.

You ignore the fact that there were southern free blacks that owned slaves. William Ellison who was a black slave owner in SC in the 1860's actually sold his grandaughter into slavery.

There isn't any race European, Asian, or African that has not been tied to slavery in their past.

[Ausar46]

@ran61 So you point is to minimize the amount of responsibility of the Europeans, right? And one Black African in the south, during slavery, owned and sold his slaves; or were there two.

[travisdevose]

Its all good we were just punished for disobeying the LORDS commandments.But the curse is just about up. Isiah 14:1God will set Israel (Negroes,Latinos,West Indians) in their own land: and the strangers(white ppl,africans,arabs etc.) shall be joined with them.And the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for SERVANTS and HAND MAIDS:and they shall take them CAPTIVES, whose CAPTIVES they were,AND THEY SHALL RULE OVER THEIR OPPRESSORS! Get ready to return to our rightful place.

[guidav123]

i found this video very interesteing! people were brainwashed into the acceptance of slavery thin. but because of there conscience they started questioning it. and thank God that they eventually seen the mistakes of there mind set and changed. I prey that a similiar awakening will happen in the case of corporal punishment toward children.

[flubno]

Building a country from scratch is hard thats why they imported slaves. Slavery didn't last to long in South America. North America it lingered to long. Some tried to deport Afican back to Africa after slavery was over.

[Jkkmolina]

In the early days of South American Slavery slaves were often worked to death because it was cheaper to import more slaves than keep them alive.

[Jkkmolina]

There still is slavery in this world and in this country so while you fantasize about how you are a slave to your job does it equate to a ten year old kidnapped girl who is repeatedly raped and filmed. The latter happens in reality slavery is not a job nor an adventure no one chooses this life the victims are choosen without applications or resumes

[ran61]

If slavey exists in the USA is does so illegally. Kidnapping is not slavery. Forcing a minor into prostitution is illegal and those who are caught should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I think surgical (not chemical) castration should be performed and imprisionment as punishment for these type of crimes.

[7514328]

Let me add a few facts to compliment our existance. First, we are all slaves to our jobs which is all about profit. Second, we continue to furtherly enslave ourselves by not demanding for ourselves what we are truly worth. Thirdly, anytime you allow the Government to dictate policy, history or democracy we (the people) allow them to restrain us all from what our history tells us is true.

[robjohn60]

Respectfully you assume you work for someone else, but truly you work for yourself and your family. You have a choice to work, you are not bound to work for someone else. You are confused as to what slavery truly is.

[7514328]

robjohn: Thanks for your thoughts. I am a philosopher of life. Many years of our lives are focused in our jobs. So few are focused on their lives and the natural body of life around us. We become our own slaves when we fail to become a part of the natural body of life and substitute it with our jobs which are tools and institutions. I work for life which prevents me from being a slave to work.

[gfish7031]

Minus the inhumane treatment,

minus history, culture, Religion, Family, etc.

[Misiulo]

This video says that all state forbate slave trade by 1798, but it "forgets" to mention that the only 2 things the Constitution actualy said about slavery is forbid banning slave trade until 1808 on a national level and second the mandate to pursue fugitive slaves in every state of the Union. Sadly there was nothing in the Constitution that would varrant extinction of slavery. Except that line about human equality, which however given many had interpreted as concerning whites only.

[12FlyMe]

All men will be evil bastards if they can be. Including blacks. That's how you know the races are equal -- equally vile scum buckets if they think they can be.

[12FlyMe]

Ran -- nonsense idiot. Your "blacks" that owned slaves were 90% white -- they were mixed race idiot. The children of rape.

And it doesnt matter who owned slaves you idiot -- they were all scum. Most slave owners raped their slaves. Out of 4 million slaves - 1.4 million were mixed race -- the product of rape.

Lincoln spoke of that -- he said one of the reasons to end slavery -- it would end slave rape

[ran61]

I am not a fan of slavery nor do I think it is an acceptable practice. Facts are not nonsense and I am not an idiot. An idiot is one like you who buries their head in the sand and refuses to accept reality. Reality is slavery was/is an immoral practice and all races and peoples participated. The blood of slaves runs through many generations and all races of human history.

Don't make blanket statements you can't backup with facts. How can blacks that owned slaves be 90% white? Please document?

[12FlyMe]

We are lucky we had Thomas Jefferson writing it -- the language he used was so powerful it later because the bedrock that Lincoln and others used to insist on ending slavery.

But at the time, the Founding Fathers were mostly buggering or raping their slaves -- then selling their own children from the rapes.

How could they do that?

Well -- men are ass wholes if they can be. Defoe said "All men would be tryants -- if they could". John Adams wrote about that aspect of man

[When1984]

Is it weird that black people wanted to demostrate against the taking of their freedom???

Is het weird that black people didn't find it legal, to be used and treated like dogs??

Come on...get over it white people..admit it was not human.

White, rich, people are the most ignorance people, they never want to know de true story.

And always pointing at black people.

How dare you???

[Steadno]

They owned slaves, they're evil...period!

[ran61]

So Afican and blacks who owned slaves are evil also?

[Steadno]

Africans never claimed they were for freedom and liberty for all and then turned around and enslaved, raped, child molested and brutalized a people who never harmed them in any way shape or form.

[ran61]

Here is some history not taught in today's classrooms, at the end of the civil war there were 3775 free blacks that owned 12,407 slaves. One of the first plantations started on the James River was black owned. In 1860 largest slave owner in South Carolina was William Ellison, who was born a slave. He even sold one of his own daughters into slavery. Slavery was not a racial issue, it was an economic and political issue. Slavery was wrong, but all races including the American Indian participated.

[Jkkmolina]

In this country slavery was not a racial issue? Hundreds of millions of blacks killed raped maimed and mutilated Your pointing out a fraction of a percentage of American slave owners who happen to look non white. Wow are you justifying it or just trying to diffuse the blame/shame.

[ran61]

Hundreds of Millions? Document that figure. You ignore how Africans sold Africans into slavery and making money on the deal. Africans raped, mutilated, and maimed their own and they were doing it hundreds of years prior to the white Europeans setting foot on the American continent. There were freed slaves who went into the slave trade because it was very lucrative and they made money. Human nature is human nature and it trancends race. The are idiot whites, blacks, browns, yellows, etc.

[ran61]

You are ignorant to facts and reality. Were there stupid whites who mistreated their slaves, of course. You will find most slave owners did not abuse their slaves, because they were an investment. Mistreating their slaves was damaging to them financially.

It was politically correct to go after South Africa and Rhodesia, But Mauretainia, Ghana, other west Aftican nations that to this day still have legal slavery are ignored. Where is your outrage at them? Sound of crickets chirping.....

[BullshipDetector]

They didnt mistreat slaves?

Are you FUCKING nuts? Holding them against their will is mistreating them, dumb fuck. Raping them is mistreatment. Selling their children is mistreatment.

So what if all races have had slaved dumb fuck? The American South had more slaves than any other nation on earth -- and said God told them to..

Even fucking Hitler didn't rape slaves, then sell his own children into slavery dumb fuck. The south did that while praising Jesus.

[lakeside321]

all races at one time enslaved one another or at least tried.But a slave had rights in Africa they were called indentured servents and could even marry into the tribe they were enslaved by.The european Slave trade was a slavery that was dehumanizing there is no excuse for it.

[OmarThePug]

This guy sounds like Kermit the Frog!

[MarkDouglasC]

Great video!

Slave owners were getting rich -- and getting a lot of pussy -- from slavery. They weren't about to give up the money and pussy slaves provided them.

Roger Taney was a scum sucking pig who is burning in hell, if there is a hell.

Lincoln knew that slavery had to go, or the union had to go. He also knew that slavery was either going to be in north AND south, or no where. We would be all slave - or all free. Lincoln didn't mean that rhetorically. He meant that literally.

[When1984]

Getting a lot of pussy??

they were TAKING a lot of pussy(!!!!)

[kemetkush]

so went the white-man [rape] it's called ---getting a lot of pussy?

[TheCZMan]

Brainwashing. To get more insight on the views of the founding fathers, you have the event of the revolution in Haiti.

There is also the Constitution, with x/y men stuff (y<x).

Traffic was stopped because of the weak US navy at the times. The US could not afford protecting slaver ships and did not want to depend on Europe.

Founding fathers had the legislative powers to end slavery.

[TheCZMan]

They did not. Their wish for slavery to end by itself is somehow a mockery of freedom. Some are so free in this world that they can decide when they can stop depriving other men from their freedom.

[MarkDouglasC]

This guy is right. Without the founding fathers laying the path, civil rights, Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr, could not have traveled further. But I don't know anyone that blames the founding fathers is my point.

[MarkDouglasC]

Many of those people hold the founding fathers responsible? Who? I don't know ANYONE that blames slavery itself on the founding fathers. All men will be tyrants if they can -- founding fathers were no execption. I blame men in general for their tendency to be vile, deceptive, cruel, dishonest, if they thing it will get them power, prestige, and pussy.

Slavery might have ended eventually but for Dred Scott decision. Dred Scott was the 911 or Pearl Harbor of its day. Please talk about that

[ran61]

Dred Scott and Plessy V. Ferguson were horrible decisions by the Supreme Court. Just like the Kelo decision several years ago. In Plessy, the Supreme Court upheld racial segregation (7-1). The concurring opinion was written by a Repub. who had never owned a slave and the only dissenting opinion and vote was written by a Repub who was a former slave owner. Very ironic.

[12FlyMe]

Dred Scott made civil war inevitable -- it made it so that NO STATE could stop slavery -- not in west, not anywhere.

Lincoln got back in politics -- he had retired from it -- because of Dred Scott. Lincoln said repreatedly - famously -- that we would be all free or all slave.

He meant that literally, we would really be all free states, or all slave, becuse of Dred Scott.

Robert E Lee thanked God for slavery. Slave owners said got told them to have slaves. Said it was gods will

[GuessWhatIKnows]

Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita. (1684- 1706)

Search her name.

She is black. Blacker than you.

She was an African Queen who owned slaves.

Shouldn't you blacks want an apology from her too????

You won't learn about her in this politically correct schooling in america anymore. Because this is the truth!

[cashmoney110]

Black families in the south and Native American tribes owned slaves, no surprises here. I'm black and I wouldn't want an apology for it. Everybody would be apologizing to everybody. But White America has done everything to cripple the African-Americans who are and have been here: From the Doctrine of Exclusion in 1639 to Laws in the Constitution, to Jim Crow. Black people have only been a able to vote WITHOUT threat of harm since 1968.

[Aplustradomus]

Preach..

[cashmoney110]

Thx

[tamaduni]

On reading some of the comments people leave here its amazing that a normal human being could be proud of demonic deeds that were done to other human beings - but i pause and realise; thats why hell exists

[0987878]

Slavery is as old as civilization. Common to every ancient race and tribe. Forgotten dealings of distant ages but agreeably fewer in recent years attributed hopefully to declarations spawned by Wilberforce. The shadows of Gettysburg endlessly march on 'obiter dictum' the 27 million slaves that exist today.

It is a sad thing, closed fisted cursing the heavens, swinging and making no connection. Every well read God fearing man had been taught by his Holy Bible that it was his right to own slaves.

[tacotony24]

The real problem are the racists WASPs (white anglo saxon protestants). The "founding fathers" themselves are slave owners, rapists, murderers, liars, and perverts.

This video is a product of white guilt unashamedly attempting to revise history. The majority of people in the US don't buy this type of nonsense.

[tru3r0ll3r]

Yes let's just blame all Anglo-Saxons.. how many anglo-saxons worked, fought and died to make black people free? White people shouldn't have to feel guilty for what other white people have done. And it would be inappropriate of them to apologise, that's like the Anglo-Saxons asking Scandinavians to apologise for hundreds of years of brutal murder, terror, rape and pillagery committed by their Viking ancestors.

[TheCZMan]

In the US? Few. The Civil War was not about slavery and the abolition was a political coincidence imposed by foreign influence.

Many more died actually to maintain the institution of slavery.

[tru3r0ll3r]

The US is not the world.. yes foreign influence with people such as Wilberforce (Anglo-saxon) etc. Hitler had black men sterilised and put in circuses, few Americans of anglo-saxon descent died fighting him did they?

[overmind25]

Get over yourself Tony. I believe it was about 4% of whites during the time of slavery had slaves. Africans played a major part in the slave trade as well. Whites have nothing to be ashamed as a whole. Only those that are guilty of crimes against others bare any burden of guilt. And if you believe whites are the only ones that have formed empires and committed atrocities then you are living in a dream world.

[overmind25]

There were founding father who spoke out against slavery, never had slaves. and/or found anti slavery societies.

[Bunfire123]

Good point, but where is your proof that they never had slaves?

[overmind25]

My video response. Paine and Adams never had slaves. Franklin released his and along with Paine founded their own anti slavery socities.

[philokiko]

today is different black whithes latinos asiatics ALL ARE SLAVES . AND THE LORDS ARE ;ROCKFELLERS ROTHSCHILD MORGAN WARBURG HARRIMAN BUSH CLINTON JEFFERSON MADISOM JOHNSON VANDERBILT RUMSFELD SILVERSTEIN AND OTHERS ... BANKERS , FED , ,,,

[cenclar]

boy you are one ignorent person. It wasnt just black selling blacks. the whites came to africa and took what they wanted, not just buying from black slave traders. It's that dumb shit you saying like we want reparations to buy more crack that makes it hard for the black man to elevate himself in your white society. plus ronald regan is the reason crack came into the American city neighborhoods. learn something before you speak idiot.

[cashmoney110]

Cenclar. To say whites just took what they wanted it is way too vague. More the exception than the rule. The rule was bodies for bodies or for rum. Remember Niger and the Ivory Coast were rich in untapped resources. I'm sure some African slave trader got stiffed and probably stiffed some Dutch and Portuguese but whatever. Don't forgot that Moor Merchants and Tribal Kings had owned white slaves before the Dutch got started. I agree 100% about the reparations. More harm tham good for now.

[draxx77]

How I would LOVE to strangle your inbred racist white ass to death. It is whites like your trailer park back water ass that ensure that racism is here to stay.

[hazedus]

chk out my video "the impact of slavery on African American youths".

haz

[frankgdgr8]

so the constitution was only considering white men when it was written... and then you put an oblivious martin luther king jr. speech at the end of the video to tie it all together.. great idea.. but ITS STILL A LIE..

SLAVERY STILL EXISTED AFTER THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN. AND THE WRITERS OWNED SLAVES DURING THAT TIME ALSO..

AND TO "FREE"-MASONS..

WHEN U CROSSED THE SANDS WHERE U WALKING OR RIDING?.. LMFAO

I WAS RIDING BITCH..

[Mwaterfall]

yeah right, and oh how you love to whip their women in bed and lust after their beautiful skin color... in your U.S. videos and magazines... lol

[He101A]

We don't need niggas to harvest cotton anymore, we have harvesters. The founding fathers were Freemasons, they believe in equity of all races of men. If you want to join a Freemasonic lodge, anyone can regardless of their religion or race. Freemason principles are Liberty, equality, and faternity.

[He101A]

Slavery existed in ancient Democratic Greece, and ancient Republican Rome.

[DukeofWilmington]

Note to everyone (esp those considering making a post), I don't mind if you disagree with me. I don't mind if you disagree with me strongly or express that disagreement strongly. But, please refrain from vulgarity and hate speech. Okay?

[Seiku]

Everyone used to dress so formaly in those days and right elegantly, (atleast those who knew how to write) I wonder why we dont anymore.

[AndreXtra]

The founding fathers "we the people" constitution is being disregarded on an immense scale and people dont even know / realize it, zeitgeist . com + FreedomToFascism . com

[DukeofWilmington]

Once again, I agree. Perhaps our only point of disagrement, yopersonaltraina, is that I still think America's Founding Fathers deserve to be regarded as heroes - in spite of their faults. (And, of course, it needs to be noted that not all of the Founders - not even most, in fact - were slave owners).

[yopersonaltraina]

If you use Dr. King, don't stop the passage. The rest is "It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

God Bless America

[DukeofWilmington]

yopersonaltraina, I agree. America DID default on that promissory note. I'm not saying the Founders deserve halos on their heads. I'm simply saying that we need to give them credit where it's due - and then acknowledge where they fell short, and strive to do better.

[yopersonaltraina]

The involuntary bondage of any person is morally wrong. There is no justification for it. The system of slavery has a scar on the slave and slave owner. The subject is in the past. America is full of opportunities. The problem is the access or availibilties to them. Legitmate power can be harnessed when people educate themselves.

[AndreXtra]

Right now not only blacks r in danger, u r all slaves right now and dont even know it,

watch what i mean at FreedomToFascism . com

+ ZeitGeist . com

[Ooga001]

and americans have the audacity to criticize other cultures/countries about treatment of its peoples. Never in annals of human history has such blatant subjugation and massacre taken place as the native Americans & black slaves of this so-called 'great nation'. hah.

[yopersonaltraina]

This is a great country! We live a in place full of choices. It is up to the individual to take advantage. There are more avenues to success than failure.

I have lived in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Germany and Italy. No one can tell me 'America' is not a great nation.

[uefa84]

yea we're great nation now. and we were a great nation when we strongly enforced slavery, emberrasing every negro, taking their freedom and making them work with no wages. kicking out north americans near appalachian mountains. AMERICA IS A SELFISH COUNTRY WITH A SELFISH GOVERNMENT... no more needs to be said.

[Ooga001]

Nobody says America is not a great nation. However, it is a 'great' nation only because the others are FAR worse!

Take the jews for example. Time and again they have demonized Hitler and the Nazis for killing 6 million jews. However, over the years, 90 million, yes NINETY MILLION, native Americans have been slaughtered, their culture wiped out, and essential identity erased. HOw many times have you heard about that in the news or history lessons?

[kindu2006]

others are far worse? r u serious

[Ooga001]

contd.

The blacks are partly to blame for their predicament in society today but they have undergone subjugation for centuries world over, not just in the US.

It is just awfully hypocritical of America to judge other countries & cultures about the treatment of its peoples when the atrocities that have taken place here over the past few centuries are incomparable in nature!

[Mwaterfall]

face up to the facts... Ooga001 has a point!

[Bob2000system]

The Dred Scott decision is an important one and not to be overlooked as precendent. It is one to be considered when we look at "animal rights" today as we looked at "animal rights" back then.

[ColMosby]

..Lincon was right, free them and repatriate them the f**k outta here...

[jayjbee]

Yet another exhibition of the lack of civilisation, honesty and truth...

MartinLuther REMINDED YOU of your hypocracy, idiot. He is your new Jesus, ain't he?

By his blood you will urn your bread? NOT!

JayJBee

"You blah, blah now... Action of your 'founding fathers' spoke louder"

[DukeofWilmington]

JayJBee, that would be Martin Luther KING, not Martin Luther. You're off by a few hundred years by referencing Martin Luther. And it's "hypocrisy," not "hypocracy."

Oh, and you speak of MY hypocrisy...I have never owned a slave, so how can I be a hypocrite by condemning slavery?

You need to work on your logic, your grammar, and your civility.

[jayjbee]

How lame can you become? Damn!

What other MartinLuther could I be talking about when it concernes this peace of film?

Do you have rubber tires?... You have slaves. I do too; I live in your 'economy'.

JayJBee

"Go on. Show us what you got"

[overmind25]

Great video. I just made a video about this. I am going to post it as a video response.

[gracebelieverz]

Great video-

but missing A FORMAL APOLOGY FOR SLAVERY AND PUBLIC DISMEMBERMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN ALL ACROSS AMERICA!

And what about restitution to Blacks for the destruction of their family structure?

Shallow indeed is this attemp to make white folk proud of their heritage, wealth gotten off the backs of slaves. WHITE GUILT HURTS WHITE CHILDREN.

[damaliayo]

October 10, 2007 is NATIONAL DAY OF PANHANDLING FOR REPARATIONS! People of all races across the country will be taking to the street to collect and pay reparations for African American slavery. Join the performance. Details at damaliayo dot com

[marshall12step]

good stuff

[DukeofWilmington]

To all those critical of this video...just remember that it is EASY to judge 18th century men according to a 21st century mindset. I would rather see the glass half full and give them credit where it is due. That is the SAME perspective that Martin Luther King, Jr. had of the Founding Fathers. And that is good enough for me.

[sdsunandfun]

Martin Luther King was a Republican

[coolchil1]

What should our Views be about the Founding Father?

Answer: they were White Supremacist

They Didn't Create the System of Slavery but they still supported it

Not Debatable

[DukeofWilmington]

And they took steps to begin to CHANGE that system. Not debatable.

[coolchil1]

They Took steps alright, steps to make sure the system would stay in place.

If they really wanted to change the system they would have focused on

Equal Education

Equal Treatment under the Law

Economic Improvement

Try Again

[Seiku]

You're a socialist, they understood the educational and economic systems. Obviously they understood law since they wrote the constitution but they didnt have a screwed up economy like we do now, they warned us of the problems we would have if we chose this path.

[reese1963]

The reason that slavery existed in a country where "All men are created equal" is the same reason that abortion is legal in a country where murder is illegal. This country was "pro-choice" until Lincoln took away the white man's choice. The comparisons between the two situations are numerous. The saddest part is when African-Americans run to the polls to vote for the candidate supporting the mother's/owner's rights. They are no better than the slavery supporters.

[JEAHJEAHHH]

Propaganda! Nice try ending wih Dr. King. Apologist,.

Survey says, no. You need to be more realistic about the hippocracy and the legacy of hatred supported by these...men.

[DukeofWilmington]

Dr. King is the one who praised the Founders. Your problem is with him as much as with me. And I'm honored to be an apologist for the Founding Fathers. They were great men.

[JEAHJEAHHH]

The question is; would you still feel they were great men if you were a direct descendant of the men and women who they; enslaved exploited and supported the rape murder and torture of?

[ichykawa]

A slave cost as much as a house and 80 acres. Very few of them were "raped, tortured, and murdered". People simply didn't have that kind of money to piss away. The truth was much less dramatic and wouldn't sell books and movie tickets or fire up Yankees and anti-white radicals. Slavery was ended ONLY because WHITES decided to do so. The time or reason should be irrelevant to YOU. The real questions are: How well would YOU be living TODAY if it weren't for white people and who should thank who?

[pixiecherries]

That is ridiculous. People can be ritually abused and not killed, weakened, but not to the point of being physically useless. The daily reminder you are a possession is abuse in itself. Being made to look silly and brainless in the media is a drastic form of abuse. Go to the library of congress online and search for photos, lithos, sheet music, theater posters and films with blacks in them. They were demoralized at the deepest level which is a form of rape and murder.

[supasound1]

Duke, I think that in the midst of the meditation on the Declaration..., they came upon the horror of their own contradiction, and, in that moment, did what they THOUGHT they could to avoid the stain upon their own souls... OTHERWISE, I don't think they really cared (THEY still owned slaves, didin't they?!)

BadGalsRadio - we reviewed this video and this is what we think - Dont Wast Your Time Watching. "Sub-Urban Interpretation of "Why We Are Not Responsible for Our Fathers Sins; even though we still benefit from his crime" Primary and ignorant. about as deep as toilet paper.

[Alfrunk]

How about the blacks that owned slaves and sold people into slavery? How will you distinguish them?

[JEAHJEAHHH]

How about the blacks that owned slaves and sold people into slavery? How will you distinguish them?

answer;

They are distinguished as followers of a white male capitolistic value system.

[ausetkmt]

YES !

[parrhasius]

I still they were racists

[theHistorian84]

Ah, Bite me. Slavery has been around since the beginning of time. Don't make what is ultimately a human issue into a racial issue

[CassieDynomite]

Very Good job. I agree

[DukeofWilmington]

cush7777, my analysis is consistent with that of Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I've not broken any new or "immature" ground here. Your disagreement is with him as much as with me.

[cush7777]

Sir, your analysis of slavery is, at the most, very immature. We should thank the founders for nothing! Beginning with Washington, a substantial slaveholder, because of Martha, was a lying immoral animal. You can include Jefferson(pedophile) and all of the other demons that you have been taught are your heroes. These clowns benefitted, substantially, from slavery. Don't forget it!

[theHistorian84]

Say all that you want, but you wouldn't have some of the rights that you have if it wasn't for these men. Slavery was a horrible institution, no doubt, but don't call these men demons because of a flawed ideology!

[Alfrunk]

"Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed." (1 Tim. 6:1)

[DukeofWilmington]

rckbttm14, the Founders didn't "create" the system to which you refer. If you've read the history, you know that slavery PRE-DATES the Founders (Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, etc). It was in place, entrenched BEFORE they came along. You do know that, right?

[ijdorrell]

slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1832 way before it was abolished in the US there fore all other things being equal they were responsible for legnthening the period of slavery

[rckbttm14]

we had to take freedom....remember the dogs and firehoses, the sit ins....the rebellion we have towards the founding of a free mason racists system...you can't be thanking them for creating the most oppressive country towards people of african decent....

[EEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFF]

very very good! God bless you!!!
