@NoGuff ...Lastly you claim that there was a need. Again, a very misleading a misguided statement because there was no need or justification for the mistreatment that often came along with that so called need. That argument is not or should not fly now or never given what slaves had to go through and all that came along with that need and was completely unacceptable.

@NoGuff And again I'll say your initial statement about it being a well known fact that slaves were treated well is not a fact. If you so tired of trying to so call "convince me" you're free to no longer make any comments on here. You didn't have to come on here and make inaccurate claims and insult me to make you point to begin with. You're free to leave and no longer say anything else.

"wrong, but evil and immoral"

--Again, for the hard-of-understanding, I already wrote that I wasn't making a judgement about slavery, I was merely stating a fact. Its a fact that the USA dropped atomic bombs on Japan to end the war, which it did. That is not making a judgment call on how much the victims of the bombs suffered. Do you have a brain? Can you grasp these moderately sophisticated points? I hope so, because I'm tired of trying to get through to your weak brain.

@NoGuff and would whip them severely if any had the NERVE to act out of line"

--And you have evidence for all of that? Yes be it from Lerone Bennett, Taylor Branch, books like The Bondwoman's Narrative, the older folks in my family how have slave narratives detailing the accounts during slavery. You have the nerve to throw up the absurd argument of "well it was legal". Just because it was legal doesn't make it right or justified...

@NoGuff U had this notion that Jefferson believed that all men are created equal and that is not true, that's not what Jefferson believe. His book Notes on the State of Virginia are clear examples of that which has some awful racist passages about black inferiority. That's where my contention comes from.

[BrotherJR76]

@NoGuff "You see, that was the belief at the time, after practically 400yrs of slavery." And it doesn't make it right just like it Jefferson's belief of black inferiority and I don't give him or others in that time a pass. You can't help right a document claiming that all men are created equal, however not treat people equal and fall back on "well it was their belief". That excuse doesn't work on people were were suffering & catching hell. It doesn't justify the way they were treated.
