Sage Rat on Slavery

If only slves had left written and transcribed first person accounts! If inlu many of thise accounts has been substantiated by later scholarship! If only!

Where this shit really gets racist is when people refuse to believe what actual slaves actually said about their situation. And while a handful of people who were mostly only slaves as children remembered it as all right, the vast majority of written accounts make it clear that the horror of slavery was the central fact of most slaves’ lives.

@Sage_Rat

No, I explicitly said that there certainly were cases of great horror and that those served well as tentpole cases for striking against slavery.

And wow, judging by the last reply, it’s getting worse.
