Slavery by Another Name. GREAT INTERVIEW-2/2

[hustlaus]

business? The Feds would find him, charge him, jail him, freeze and seize all of his assets. However, the forementioned corporations not only got away free but still exist to this day as some of the most powerful financial entities in the U. S. Ain't that a bitch????

[hustlaus]

level, this shit was allowed to go on. Even the President championed the position of turning a blind eye. I actually saw the program on PBS and there were several Black people how wrote to Roosevelt and asked him to do something. The only thing that made him react was some political bullshit. He didn't want to be embarrassed internationally. He actually pardoned some of the biggest offenders of this conspiracy. What if Freeway Ricky Ross took the money that he made and created a successful

[hustlaus]

People love to talk about the social events that took place around slavery and peonage but I love to talk about the money. Sun Trust, JP Morgan, Wachovia, Coca Cola??? The gensis or galvenization of their businesses was based on illegal slave labor of Blacks and I betcha if you ask the relatives of most of the founders of these corporations, they'll tell you that "Our Family Pulled Ourselves Up By The Bootstraps" bullshit!! Look at how big this conspiracy is. From the Federal, State, & local

[tranmere789]

There are some misleadings. The lynching era actually ended (in large scale) by mid 1920's. Then there's a question about lack of labour soon after Pearl Harbour. Another thing is mechanizing acriculture during 1940's.

However Blackmon has done a good job. I just wonder what part of Cold War and communist propaganda play in for making live little bit better for american black people. Was Washington afraid of communists trying to make propaganda about bad treatment of black people in USA?

[hustlaus]

@tranmere789 I don't think that was the case. I think the Soviets could have easily said that you'd be hard pressed to find evidence of them embarking imperialism or colonialism on people of color in the world. That's why America was so upset with Paul Robeson. He basically articulated that fact and he was totally erased out of American History for it.

[BrothaMuStafa]

Slavery by another name is being called an African American,

[wisedomee]

yes my so called black people see site hebrewisraelitedotorg.the truth will make you free.

[bighen88]

The 'whiteman' has alot to pay for! and he is going to go into slavery!

Isaiah 10:2

Galatins 6:7

Revelation 13:10

[commonman80]

I ment to right WEAK SPOT. My bad.

[kosmicslop]

I am currently reading this book and while I am outraged by the treatment, what I'm really studying are the mechanics of oppression. How did they do this? What are the weak spots? How can African-Americans protect themselves in the future? The main tool was denial of education yet in my city the high school graduation rate is only 12%. After awhile it's like black people are falling for cartoon tricks the oppression is becoming so easy.

[commonman80]

kosmicslop, The week spot is through the African American female.. You also need to read Willie Lynch the making of a slave. Oprah did'nt get as big as she got without a reason.

[kosmicslop]

I really hope you aren't going to use the whole "black women have it easier" schtick to justify the perceived achievement gap between black men and women. More than anything it's another tool to divide and conquer but also think about who has been holding black families and communities together while black men obsess about regaining their "manhood". The history of every major civil rights push is always men making speeches and women doing the real grunt work.

[commonman80]

kosmicslop, Tell that to the widows of Martin, Medger, and Malcom. To name just a few. The "ACCHIEVEMENT GAP" Between "Black" Men and "Black" Women has NOTHING to do with Intellingence. The "perceived Achievement" of the "Black" Female is do to OBEDIENCE. Doing what SHE IS TOLD TO DO BY WHITES. The "Black" Female is only as powerful as the POOREST WHITE MALE. No matter what she"s been given.

Oprah is A POWER ENTERTAINER. However, she will NEVER become as BIG AND POWERFUL as MICKEY MOUSE. Ok.

[kosmicslop]

Oh I see. Because our black foremothers (and the vast majority of our forefathers) did not sacrifice themselves on the high alter of false pride, they were somehow weaker? It may be brave to face that one moment of death for your principles, but it's far more courageous to stay on and make sure you try all you can to save the next generation and make it a little better.

[commonman80]

kosmicslop, You mean THE UNCLE TOM / MAMMY APPROACH. Well, if you have'nt figured it out yet, IT DID NOT, AND DOES NOT WORK. That approach only leaves the people who use it looking like Obedient Pets. Not EQUAL HUMAN BEINGS. WAKE UP!!!!!

[kosmicslop]

Well it might not be the approach YOU would have chosen 200 years ago but it got YOU here. Are you an obedient pet?

[commonman80]

KOSMICSLOP, I am FAR frm an obedient pet to ANY MAN or WOMAN of ANY RACE.

I found out a long time ago that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.. That is what keeps me free from peoples' who try to play the Hey Boy game. That's why every where I go I am addressed as Sir. Not Man, Brother, Buddy, Slick, or any other Nick name, more than Once. I make sure that when that Crap happens, they get it, So it DOES NOT happen twice. And it never does.

[kosmicslop]

Then I would like to thank you for proving my point. Our ancestors, whose sacrifice and suffering you want to demean by calling them Uncle Toms and Mammies, chose survival because they had hope that the future would get better for us, their descendants. The very fact that you can read, write and say the things you are saying is because of them.

[kosmicslop]

However, I can also see that you harbor some deep-seated issues regarding black women. Maybe it stems from personal issues, I don't know. More than likely it's because you still cling to the myth that if a community is not patriarchal, it's somehow broken. It's as if you believe black women should have stood around helpless for a few hundred years waiting for black men to get their stuff together.

[commonman80]

kosmicslop, on your first point, Our ancestors "sacrifice and suffering" DID NOTHING. Slave owning "whites" were happy the way things were. When the African American Slave WOKE UP, and decided NO MORE "Sacrifice and Suffering things started changing. It took a Civil War and a Civil Rights Movement to get here. The Mammy and Uncle tom were happy being children/human pets, and contributed little or NOTHING to the improvement/Freedom of the lives of the American slave. Get the facts..

[commonman80]

kosmicslop, On your SECOND POINT. I LOVE BLACK WOMEN. I love the sound of their voice, the Feel and Smell of their (NATURAL) hair, The feel of their solft full lips against mine, The color of their beutiful skin, The look in their loving and trusting Brown eyes. However, what I don't like about SOME "BLACK" WOMEN is how they allow themselves to be used and abused by the same people who almost destroyed them. Or, how they TURN THEIR BACKS, on the struggles that bought us to where we are today.

[kosmicslop]

The YouTube comment format is a very limiting way to have these types of discussions. So please feel free to private message me if you think I am somehow missing the point and you want to present a more nuanced argument.

[commonman80]

kosmicslop, On your THIRD point.

Well to put it plainly, I don't do PMS' I like to keep things open in these bloggs. It keeps everybody honest.

[kosmicslop]

Btw. I know how to read and comprehend common English. I don't need you to all caps phrases to let me know the main point of a sentence.

[ipwnorcs]

All the working class is. The racist white working class that fights their Black brothers and sister workers are just as uneducated. Marx showed us the mechanism by which these filthy elite rule us, now we must smash them and take power for humanity, not capital.

[HQR3]

Reagan's War on Drugs, targeting small users/dealers and building an enormous prison industrial complex, was a very successful move to revive this system. (Read "Why so many black men are in prison" by Demico Boothe.) So is the sentencing discrepancy between possession of crack (black crime) and powder cocaine (white crime)--respectively, 5 grams vs. 500 grams. The post-bellum history of the U.S. is one big circumvention of [the 13th Amendment.

[edavismookie25]

Very good my friend. Finally, someone who understands this racist war on drugs bullshit.

[Azzaiel]

see the king alfreds plan by ray hagins here on yt

reference after watching

btw ronald reagan was responsible for crack cocain in the ghettos

[VisibleEnigma]

Slavery by another name continues right up THIS VERY MOMENTS!.............Blacks are said to be 12% of the population, yet, 42%of the prison population....................­....Its hard to say "NEVER AGAIN" while the criminal act is still in progress......................­.......From Plantations to Projects

[edavismookie25]

Thats what I don't understand. How can 12% of the population account for 42% of the prison population??

[kosmicslop]

It's simple math. As of the March 2004 Current Population Survey from the Census Bureau, there are about 36 million African-Americans in this country. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports around 2.3 million inmates as of June 2007. 42% of 2.3 million is 966,000 or about 2.68% of the total black population.

[edavismookie25]

Wow. Is it me or does our criminal justice system seem to target African Americans more than any other race. It almost seems like no other race is incarcerated for crime. Its like blacks are disproportionally targeted.

[morpheus2k2]

thank you for posting this

[aquerius23]

Right from the first contact in the 1300,s till date, Europeans and European Americans alike have consistently and continuously LEACHED, MURDERED AND DEHUMANIZED the Afrikans in Diaspora. And this EVIL with its appropriate punishment, shall befall the Caucasoids worse than the BUBONIC plague did, reverberating through generations of Caucasoids till AMUN-RA feels appeased. HOTEP!

[tranmere789]

@aquerius23

You forget one thing: europeans enslaved also other europeans. And africans have - of course - enslaved other africans too.

[hustlaus]

@tranmere789 However, you got to realize that American slavery and African slavery or two totally different things. African slavery is basically indentured servitude. Whereas American slavery deals with the the complete destruction of a person's culture, racism, and the entire reprogramming of a person for him a generations to follow to serve his master.

[aquerius23]

European Americans till the next 100 generations will PAY for this....AMUN!

[stylenstine]

they must pay. just a matter of time

[ipwnorcs]

Your pretty words of revenge make the capitalists laugh. While you waste your time hating an entire race of people, they continue to feed of HUMANITY. Capitalism is a criminal system, stop wasting time with your mythological opium and see the true picture.

[CitizenWorm]

Thanks for posting this.

[fortruthandlove]

Slavery called by any other name will smell and be just a bad.

[wervasdeferens]

I'm black, and most blacks know about their history in America.

However,this same mentality is going on today under the name of the New World Order. The enslavement is colorblind and worldwide. Exact same system,though.

Slavery by another name is still slavery.

Call it manifest destiny,cheap labor, globalization,free trade or whatever you will,but it's still slavery!

[hustlaus]

@wervasdeferens You are looking at it from more of a macro point of view. However, if you customize it to Black people, you'd find peonage, white flight, eminent domain, American domestic terrorist (KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc.), The War on Drugs, The Prison Industrial Complex, The Crack epidemic, Gentrification, etc. These conspiracies, entities, and systems were tailored made to work against Black people. No other race in America suffered their affects like Blacks in America.

[peugeot505gti]

Great interview!

[betterversionn]

when one person suffers, we all suffer.

[heres22]

i agree
