Louisiana's most visited plantation removes sign declaring slaves were 'happy & well taken care of'

[BWK]

It seems that the liberals are bashing conservatives as well. You did just that in a post about Mississippi and Alabama. so ypu participate in what you are claiming to be upset with.

Tipsy started it by turning it into a liberal bashing post. All I did was reply to her and point out that the poor red states take way more that their blue neighbors. She got off topic first....as usual.

Banging the Liberal narrative, never won a factual argument.

Neither does bashing the Conservative narrative, but it happens on this board all the time.

As far as slavery, it was America at it's worst, and there should be no doubt that greed and profits were the reason. To think any race, religion, ethnicity, sex is better than the other is pure ignorance. We should all be able to live our lives without a threat to our safety because of looks or beliefs.

I agree, but with a big spike in white nationalism and white domestic terrorism, that's not happening now is it?

What I find interesting was that when Obama was in office we had more incidents of violence between police and blacks, today we see a spike in violence with left wing supporters and an increase in violence with white nationalists.

Leaders on both sides need to condemn it, especially Trump as he is our leader, so it is his move to make and I don't think we will see it.

Nope! Over two years, and we haven't seen it yet.

An official sign declaring that slaves were 'well taken-care of and happy' at Louisiana's most-visited historical site - a former cotton plantation - has been taken down.

It's unclear how long the sign was up at the state-owned and operated Rosedown Plantation, which sits on 374 acres in St. Francisville.

It was on display in the plantation's detached kitchen as part of an exhibit called 'Slave Life at Rosedown.'

About 850 people had been enslaved there before the outbreak of the Civil War, including newborn babies and the elderly. The sign said they lived in 'prettily built and very comfortable' cabins, where they were awoken at 4am, and had 'a natural musical instinct' that was showcased at Christmas.

It goes on...

My question is...why are so many whites so delusional about the worst thing that happened in America, and America's original sin?

What did the slaves do when freed? Stay or leave?

Most of Trump's old, uneducated white base won't believe it.

They think that the blacks were well taken care of as slaves.

How is Trump a racist? He was loved by Oprah, snoop dog, will smith, the entire rap community, that is, until he decided to run for President....now he is a racist...

You people are so fucking obvious in your hate and actual racism.

Trump has only been labeled a racist since he decided to run and became president. Liberal swine are nothing if not hypocrites.

Racist is made up. It's become the catch all for I don't like that. Trump wasn't racist when he was the only country club to admit blacks.

Democrats have become so ridiculous that their speed is complaining about two scoops of ice cream and no sprinkles.

Actually it is calling out hate, fear mongering and misinformation

The nasty word is "slaves". I get it. The real living conditions. Was it good in a questionable situation?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Slaves on a well run plantation probably were taken care of compared to post civil war.

Some slaves took their new freedom north to sweat shops where they lived a very short life.

Some turned a life as a slave into a worse life as a sharecropper. The southerners who had some sense of responsibility were replaced with northern scalawags and carpetbaggers. They got all the benefits and none of the responsibility. Sickness, the horse died, the cow went dry, there was no master to send help or replace an animal. Their poverty became killing.

As what always happens the former slaves who ended up the best were the ones who chose freedom and went west. It's painful, bloody, scary as hell but the only thing worth it.

Why is the entire idea of taking care of one's own self so objectionable?

What is objectionable is they were not allowed to take care of themselves
They had to work to support plantation owners

Why couldn’t they take care of themselves without enslaving others!

Employers are not slave owners. At any time any of those sharecroppers could have walked off and done something else with their freedom.

This plantation moved to the sharecropper system after slavery was abolished. Own land, back 40. Happened in a lot of places. It was the "norm".

Prior to worker reforms in the 1930s they might as well have been slave owners

The answer to your question is, none of them deserved to be beaten, because none of them should have been there to begin with. I'll ask you again. Who are you who gets to decide dominion over a man or woman?

I have decided nothing for no one. I recognize that the person who wants everything provided to them without cost is a natural slave only wanting a just and generous master.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the price of apples. You are playing up to ignorance, arrogrance, superiority, and racism, to weaponize your justifications. And everyone sees that for what it is. It's actually the exact reasons why we recruited slaves to begin with. You need lots of soul searching and education. And growing a heart, won't hurt anything either.

The observeration came from Marcus Aurelius in 161.

"The natural state of most people is the state of slavery. They only want for a just and generous master. "

I, of course, never mentioned race. You saw it but it wasn't there. The longing for a caring master belongs equally to white people. There are certainly plenty of white people demanding everything from free cosmetic surgery to free lap dances paid for on the EBT card.

Of course! During Roman times, the theme was, give the people bread and circus. And since thousands were enslaved, what else could they possibly live for? There is no "natural state of slavery" Get that in your head. That is a manipulation of the brain to control large populations. It's been done for centuries. There is nothing "natural" about it. It's a manipulation of the masses to control them. What do you think Trump tries to do every day with his base? He manipulates their brains to cheer lead against their own interests. Emperors and Oligarchs have been doing this since civilization began. Wake up people.

What own interests of people does Trump manipulate them to "cheerlead" against?

I'll wait..

Tax cuts for the wealthy with little for the middle class. Cuts to public education, Medicare and SS, all while building a “Space Force”, and ramping up military spending, and giving tax cuts to billionaires.

Allowing mining companies to pollute the waterways where people get their drinking water, and trying to bring back coal.

Cancelling overtime for low wage fast food “management” employees. Cancelling birth control mandate for employee health care.

The list is into the hundreds of ways Trump has hurt everyday Americans while pandering
G to his billionaire buddies.

Staffers have expressed concerns about the effect of tax cuts and deficits when the recession comes and Trump has said he’ll be long gone before that happens so he doesn’t care.

Trump has been an absolute benefit to Americans. Only TRUE as in TRUE Americans know this.

My ancestors didn't come to America until after the War of Northern Aggression was over and the Deplorables passed the 13th Amendment.

However, in Poland, we freed the slaves in 1347 during the reign of Casimir the Great. Didn't pay any reparations over it either.

Oh this is DIRECTLY out of the Cult of the Lost Cause Revisionism propaganda.

Same fantasy that set up all those statues and monuments under fire.

​

How many Americans were you thinking of? I never met a single white person or ever heard of one that thought slavery was anything but an evil American institution we still suffer repercussions from.

There were certainly less whites, and Americans of all sorts, who thought slavery was okay than pro choice leftists who think the lives of small helpless children are of no importance and legally theirs to do with whatever they wish which is precisely, ironically, the slave holders view of their slave's lives. They belonged to the slave masters.

They were less than human, not legally recognized with rights... they were expendable...just like the unborn.

Do leftists acknowledge the link between the moral catastrophe of slavery and it's contemporary great American twin evil brought to us by the left wing pro choice machine?

And just like that here's post two, the Lost Cause Cult sending its minions to deflect onto something else to take off the spotlight.

Predictable.

 

[Pogo]

The incessant obsession today’s American self-identifying blacks have with slavery is the real concern. A reflection of neosegregation and racist bigotry. Black Americans have a connection with slavery the same way all white Americans have a connection with the plight of Irish immigrants. Practically zero. Obama has absolute zero but was played up as a virtual escaped slave himself.
This is just more democrat propaganda and democrat shakedown divisiveness.

No Stupid --- it's the Lost Cause Cult's Chickens coming home to find there's no place to roost.

What did you expect for a cult based on lies? Okay, that phrase is redundant.

And your slaves were not shipped across an ocean like cargo to an entirely different continent either.

Most people would enjoy slavery. They only long for a just and generous master.

Imagine to be provided housing, clothing, medical care, food, a guaranteed job. The evils of competition and the destruction of meritocracy don't exist. The master is the sole provider of the necessities of life.

Is this slavery or liberalism? It's the same thing.

You colossal black hole of abject ignorance. Slavery and Liberalism are mutually exclusive. "All men are created equal" leaves zero room for anybody who isn't.

Let's clear out your delusion first... It was Democrat's, not America's original sin.

Let's rehabilitate your abject bullshit. Slavery existed thousands of years before any political parties did, and the transAtlantic version existed centuries before any did here, and loooooooong before there was a country or even a colony. So cram your ignorance back up your ass.
