Before I'll be beaten

[dryerlint17]

A hell of a lot of Whites died so the Black man could be free.

[iLOVEalways101]

@dryerlint17 they probbably needed too

[dryerlint17]

@iLOVEalways101 You know who was selling the slaves to white men in Africa? Black Africans were. Rich Whites of the South weren't the ones dying in the Civil War..........My poor ancestors of the North were. I guess Ignorance is Bliss. 

[iLOVEalways101]

@dryerlint17 Either way the Black Africans weren't the ones BEATING and LYNCHING the slaves saying they were equivalent to dog shit and weren't good enough to be considered human and I never said the Southerners were dying in the war. (but they did fight so technically they were) I KNOW that the North helped fight against the South to stop slavery so my comment wasnt intended to you.... or your ancestors. So I am not ignorant. Good Day

[dryerlint17]

@iLOVEalways101 Your comment begins with @dryerlint17 "they probably needed too". That's why I got angry. No big deal. Later

[iLOVEalways101]

@dryerlint17 yes i said "they" but you also said "whites" neither is specific.

[dryerlint17]

@iLOVEalways101 okey dokey artichokey

[mysteryhistory13]

@dryerlint17 you sound like an idiot...you know that, right? people are always trying to count the few incidents of whites being killed for sympathizing with slaves (outside of the civil war). but how does that compare with the 450 years of brutality faced by blacks?

[dryerlint17]

@mysteryhistory13 360,222 dead from the North. Doesn't sound like a "few incidents" too me.

[catwoman19628]

That's right the definition of an American does not include the african descendant

[MrZaf12]

Can anyone write down the lyrics? I'm not native to the English language and its difficult for me to understand everything he says.

[Madisen0]

I heard this on compass learning



[vickielea12]

Amazing recordings....we need to hear and know what was suffered.

[propellerdiver]

Slavery is still common, and stores like Walmart use them. The difference is, instead of importing slaves, we leave them where we find them, and import the goods they make. It looks better, but it's the same thing. The rich prosper from the labor of the poor, always will. Not even communism changes that, because the strong enslave the weak whenever, wherever, they can. The Party members live off the proles, just as the managers live off the laborers.

[howlingsandy]

almost all Americans own slaves...now.Travel to the 3rd world to see how many are not sure of where their next meal is coming from and feel lucky to make 1 or 2 dollars a day in sweatshops or farm themselves out as domestics often raped and abused (mostly in middle eastern countries) and here the internalized legacy of slavery exists in the cultural design of schools geared more to upper classes and to create willing servants of that elite. it's not exclusively racialist but often still is..

[howlingsandy]

@gocarlisle To abandon the abandoned in the name of self help first, to foment & take advantage of all against allism & global exploitation and blind to/blinded by The Spectacle IS the "American people," True believers in duopoly, screaming wankers over cartoon red herring demons like "Illuminati". It's not just corrupt manipulative ultra-rich, themselves even second rate players in a system so far out of whack it's best covered in clips here from "They Live" or by Rovic's "What If You Knew??"

[frumplen]

funny thing is we have all the whites and blacks that yack back in fourth about rascism and and repreation and blah blah blah when fact is not a white man alive in america ever owned a slave and notta live black man picked unpaid cotton. its history not present. we're all brothers and sisters in the eyes of the Lord and all american brothers and sisters...so stfu with that racist talk

[bennehbennehbenneh]

@frumplen

And that's the bottom line.

[bruin03]

@frumplen Your right./ The only ones alive are those that benefited from it.

[jimjam69]

This is history ty for posting.

[sps42391]

beat him!

[mulehamacuminatcha]

whats the words someone please?? cant make them out at all

[analogrevolutionary]

Real American Music that America is scared of!

[MrJMANDY]

thats right i was just thinking along those lines. the wasps cant handle this because it unsettles them. to the materialist, a defining characteristic of white americans; what cannot be seen or measured or purchased is something to fear and despise.

many white americans called the blacks lazy: this is not the case- they were simply metapyhsical. the same can be said of the english attitude towards the irish. two deeply spiritual peoples, misrepresented throughout history- the true saints.

[stuman06]

@MrJMANDY I'm Irish not Irish american. It seems that most of the slave owners nin the southern western states seem to of Scots / Irish decent. For a people that only got it independence from Great Britain its a dam shame that when they went over to the new world Aka USA they just joined the band wagon and didnt mind enslaving people in though Ireland its self was inslaved. Bastards should have known better than to do that. Its sad and I'm ashamed of the Irish that became the red necks

[KuzinAvi]

@stuman06 On the flipside, I'm Australian. Most Australians including myself are descended from Irish convicts brought in chains on prison ships by the British to Australia. Most other nations (mainly Americans) ignorantly believe this was justified, after all, they were prisoners right? And they were European so at least they weren't slaves right? Wrong. Many 'convicts' were sentenced to life & hard labour in the Australian wastelands for crimes such as being Catholic, or stealing bread.

[3006khz]

@KuzinAvi You are showing your own ingnorance, by stereotyping an entire nation. You cannot possibly know how an entire nation believes... Especially one that you do not live in... I agree that some people around this world might be misinformed in their beliefs of what a "convict" was in England at that time.

You should have greater knowledge of Austalian history than us Americans, but, us Americans have a greater knowedge of what we believe. Let us tell how we believe.

[bennehbennehbenneh]

@MrJMANDY

Man that's just, that's not true. I'm English, catholic by family, rather that protestant, with a history of Irish partners and friendships, I'm here clicking on this and listening because it's in my soul to hear it. That's such a naive comment. You're confusing the average idiot with the individual. The English attitude towards the Irish is nothing like the white American attitude towards African Americans; what on earth are you talking about?. Either way, get down off the cross.

[arkee71]

@MrJMANDY youre right...except materialism is the defining character...of RICH whites...not the whites who work alongside you...who live life right next to the bone...im a white southerner...and they hate me about as much as they do blacks...and ive never been even close to rich...ever

[vauxhall908]

@analogrevolutionary Edison's first recordings were of racemusic but ya they want us to forget happy slaves now master

[TheBrradsullivan]

@analogrevolutionary 1) African slaves were never considered Americans and 2) America is wholy apathetic to its history

[arkee71]

@analogrevolutionary stevie ray was american...and he wasnt afraid of this music...eric clapton loves this music...though hes not american...most of white america has embraced the blues...i know i have..watch the stereotypes..."one must fight monsters..not become one"

[brewereric]

nice....one I have not heard. i spent alot of time in the library of congress but i missed this one

[metyuewb]

When was this recorded?

[Gusious7]

This is wonderful... This is music. Thanks for uploading!:)
