[@boone315]

I was raised by my grandfather. We would watch all the chaos going on in the 70's on our rural little farm. He would tell me many rules a good man should live by. One of those rules was to never use the color of my skin as an excuse for personal weaknesses. And another was to respect all people until they give you reason not to. Rules I still live by.

[@holoholohaolenokaoi2299]

The first slave owner in the future US was an African indentured servant from 1619. He brought people over from Africa under an indentured servitude contract and successfully argued that one of them was bound to him for life. This is allowed through English Common Law under a debtor's contract and still exists today in places like India. It even expands to multi-generational contracts. In the US these types of contracts were abolished long before the civil war. Nearly all debts are abolished during bankruptcy with the exception of Student Loans and those will probably be challenged in the coming years.

Hats off to Thomas Sowell for speaking truth and facts to the false popular social narrative. Most people just go along without questioning the narrative because it's the easy and popular thing to do. Questioning requires examination and thinking, which he has done.

What exactly is "faith" directed at in this statement? Faith in what? Usually it's directed at the existence of the Christian God, which then in turn, purports fear. In Christianity, it's essential for fear and faith to exist in the same place. Although I am not Christian, I still don't understand this statement, nor do I understand why people are moved by it. Fear, is a natural response when facing mortal adversity. If you think that you can invest enough faith into anything and become impervious to fear, you're either wrong, or you're a sociopath. Or perhaps a bit unhinged due to relentless fanaticism. If, by chance, the statement implies that faith is in one's self, I can stomach it, but I don't see any significant power in it.

There's a book called "Barracoon: The Story of the Last Black Cargo" that you should read, if you haven't already. It's a biography of the last living slave (known at the time) in the US to make the journey across the Atlantic, Cudjoe Lewis. The author interviewed him in 1927, but the book wasn't published until 2018 (58 years after the author died). He gave her his account of his village being raided by a neighboring tribe when he was a teen, the men slaughtered and dismembered, the women and children sold as slaves. This kind of brutality served 2 purposes. It eliminated nearby enemies/competitors, and it filled the conqueror's pockets. It's also not unique. Most of human history worldwide has been a cycle of violence and subjugation.

[@pablorobles1277]

Regrettably this and most facts about universal human cruelty throughout history has been funneled into the demonization of one race and taken to the extremes in current social agendas. It is human nature to knock the powerful from their perches, not for the good of all, but to install ourselves in their place. The problem with this is that throughout history most new rulers are just as bad or worse than the deposed.

@@justmehello5543 If anything, that's just a government reimbursement, not a reparation.

Countries are rich, but hardly ever _that_ rich, and to some perspectives that might be seen as "rewarding the wrong guy" but to me I see that as the State accepting responsibility for it's own role and taking the consequences upon itself.

I appreciate you folks putting this on. As a white guy with a PhD, it never occurred to me that slavery could be related to racism.

One thing not mentioned here was how the Irish where taken to the west and put into indentured servitude. The women were used to make more slaves by being forced to mate with African men. This would save the slave owner a lot of money and also allow for trading women for other African males. Indentured servitude was a work off system giving false hope of working for your freedom. Most owners would tack on years to their time for small things like breaking a dish or staining a shirt. This in itself was a form of slavery. So even the children of African men and indentured servants where born into a form of slavery. The whole ordeal was tragic.

Hinkley once said (and this is not a direct quote word for word): The best way to raise self-esteem is to learn to work hard and accomplish something. I have found that to be true in my own life and I most certainly did not come from a privileged background. My dad taught me that there was always a way to accomplish a task. Always. That one lesson has served me well my entire life in conjunction with my faith in God. With those two tools, nothing REALLY seems impossible. Good bless you both. ❤️
