I had an argument with my dad about how slavery has been promoted as more brutal than it was. He started going on about how it would make slavery seem okay otherwise and hos it sounded like i was defending it. I shut him up by asking if he'd be fine as a slave if he were treated nice because I see slavery itself as a problem rather than the conditions or who did it or it was done to.
Yea I mean there are all kinds of stories of masters Fromm very cruel to very kind. My gg grandfather got a few acres of land after slavery from his former master. Granted he was the illegitimate son of the master so I guess that doesn’t count. I do remember in his book Booker T mentions that when the son of his former master got sick the former slaves gathered money to pay for his treatment.
But I feel the black people today who constantly talk about slavery must want to be oppressed
