Bill O'Reilly says slaves were well fed

Its stupid to pretend otherwise your having to engage in hyperbole nothwithstanding.

 

Their heads are exploding because their warped msm-driven belief that FOX is anti-black was just blown to smithereens.

 

Yes treat them like a pet. Split up families. Feed them slop. Castrate them if you need to

 

Here are the simple facts.

Blacks captured Blacks. Blacks sold blacks to white ship owners. If the captain also owned the ship, he bought slaves.

Naturally when you buy things to sell, you expect a mark up.

Owners of slaves in the USA for a long time put in bids for them.

Imagine you bid for 2 horses. Do you really want to beat the horse since it has not been yet broken and will do much good when treated nice?

Imagine today, you owned a farm and could bid for some labor. And all you had to do is feed the labor and house the labor. Do you want to beat labor silly?

 

No one today says otherwise but you are viewing the past through the prysum of today's morals and standards.

 

Well, I am sure you would do all of that. Now, were I one of those owners, I would feed them, house them and treat them like General Washington treated his. Seldom when you have a rogue slave, you mete out discipline.

 

You would of course separate the labor from its family and spend as little as you can on them while still keeping them able to work.

That is absolutely barbaric

 

No wonder some blacks hate white people. If I were a black man during the civil rights movement I would have followed Malcolm X. Just saying.

 

Is this clown for real, with a statement like that?!!


Some of the well fed slaves that built the White-house!

Now you know how I felt the day the Army drafted me.

 

Well fed? I wonder if O'Reilly could have been more trite.

I would have preferred if Michelle Obama had said.. "I am a woman of color.. descended from slaves and only in America could I wake up in the WH".. Otherwise I thought her speech was terrific.

 

A lot of people knew it was wrong back then. The civil war was fought for States rights. What rights were these? The rights to keep slaves.

 

Dammit man,It's "Prism"
Most slaves were not abused horribly in America.Most that were were in GA or AL, Mostly in GA.

 

Blacks were paid when Malcolm X preached his violence.

 

I don't know about you guys, but I like soul food.

Were slaves starving? I've never heard this before.

 

I too was drafted.I felt your pain.

 

No one ever whipped you in the Army.

 

When you stopped the South from paying taxes to the Union, when you consider that for the South states to leave, the public had to vote in favor of leaving, it was more than slaves. But slaves were like a herd of dairy cattle. Tell the rancher you plan to free his herd and he gets angry pretty quickly.

Look at the fuss Bundy made in Nevada!!!

Slaves were seldom treated as you hint they were.

Even though you saw movies of men getting mistreated by the military, do you still claim we were not slaves?

- - - Updated - - -

Exactly. If one thinks of the army as free humans, they never were in the Army.

 

You were never whipped. You were not kept away from your family for a lifetime. It is horrible to suggest what we in the military went thru is even close to comparable to slavery. It is a disgraceful statement and you made it. Disgraceful

 

Yeah they were.. There are a number of journals kept by the mistresses of southern plantations.. You might want to read some of them. One good one is the "Civil War Diary of Sarah Morgan".

White women were terribly isolated on the plantations and they struggled with wanting to educate or teach Christianity and being utterly subject to their fathers and husbands.

 

Where did this Sarah Morgan live?

 

Silly argument. Like saying he is the healthiest horse in the glue factory. Slavery, by any reasonable definition, embodies mistreatment. What can be more mistreating than slavery, by its very nature?

 

No, he didn't. He gave a historically accurate description of the building of the White House.

 

Get off this whipping kick. That comes from the movies. They have to do that to attract people to the movies.

We in the Army during 1962-4 were bossed around all day long the way slaves are bossed. If you dared talk back, guess what happens to you?

The Army sends men off for long periods and men get home to the wife who has had men in her bed and they end up divorced. Splitting the family.

You want to be a drama queen over slaves where even Mrs. Obama did not go that far, but expect me to be dishonest how our own government treated us when I was in the Army?

 

Baton Rouge, however I have read journals from SC and Alabama.. actually many over the past 50 years.. and done some side research in the state archives.

There's were kindnesses and loyalties, but for the most part slavery was an economic engine that considered slaves "valuable" only as beasts of burden.. like a tractor or a combine.

And, it seems every wife was conflicted about her "Christian duty" and the half cast Pickaninnies on her farm.

You really can't sugar coat it. Even small planters who only had a few slaves didn't have any concept... modern concept such as we have... that these people were human.. They may have been good/kind owners or cruel owners.. but the results were the same.
