ReplyDeleteAnd the sob doesn't even live in killa city, keep your ass over in prairie village and mind your own part of town dickhead
ReplyDeletePeter Gogol, he changed his last name from goebbells! You know, because he was embarrassed by being related to that famous German dude!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should leave these decisions to the people who live here.
ReplyDeleteHey Paul, read this.....
ReplyDeleteIn a fascinating essay reviewing this controversy, R. Halliburton shows that free black people have owned slaves "in each of the thirteen original states and later in every state that countenanced slavery," at least since Anthony Johnson and his wife Mary went to court in Virginia in 1654 to obtain the services of their indentured servant, a black man, John Castor, for life.
And for a time, free black people could even "own" the services of white indentured servants in Virginia as well. Free blacks owned slaves in Boston by 1724 and in Connecticut by 1783; by 1790, 48 black people in Maryland owned 143 slaves. One particularly notorious black Maryland farmer named Nat Butler "regularly purchased and sold Negroes for the Southern trade," Halliburton wrote.
So blacks had white slaves as well......
they should remove the m l k statue in washington seems he started quite abit of trouable in his time
ReplyDeleteDayam, Candice has the perfect body!!!
ReplyDeleteOK - show of hands....how many people out there knew what the monument said? How many people are bothered by the statues of naked people (OMG) sprinkled around town?
ReplyDeleteI hope it replaces the lice house the boons created down there.
ReplyDeleteFrom this day forward the only statues allowed will be of black people or in the case of killa city mayor bully bullhorn! Lmao!!!
ReplyDelete"You will not replace us!"
ReplyDeleteI think the actual chant was a tad different.
5:38: You seem to have an excellent grasp of history, so you must know that indentured servants were not the same as slaves.
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected sir!
ReplyDelete@ 8:11 PM, you are absolutely correct regarding the difference between slavery and indenture.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'm sure that, through your own excellent grasp of US History, you are familiar with the fact that, at the time of the start of the Civil War the owner of the largest number of Slaves in the United States was Antoine Dubuclet, a New Orleans Freedman!
M. Dubuclet seldom owned fewer than 100 slaves, at the time of the 1860 Census he owned 384, and he specialized in buying runaway or "recalcitrant" males, "breaking" them (you don't want to know how) and re-selling them to the Rice Plantations, where the average life expectancy was about four months! M. Dubuclet owned one of the largest Sugar Plantations in Louisiana, and was renowned as a "stern Taskmaster". He also maintained a rotating "harem" of twenty or so attractive young female slaves, reportedly preferring "Quadroons" or "Octaroons" as his personal servants.
He was a highly respected member of New Orleans Society, and donated generously toward the arming and equipping of Volunteer Regiments. He himself held an Honorary "Colonelcy" in the Louisiana State Militia until his death in early 1864.
I'm also sure that you are aware that, in the years immediately prior to the start of The War, the slaves stolen in Missouri by raiding "Jayhawkers" could not be sold at will in Kansas (unlike horses, cattle, chickens, underwear and other purloined items) but could only be disposed of at the Market designated by the Legislature in Atchison, Kansas! At one time (in 1859) that was the third largest Slave Market in the US! And it, too was operated by a Freedman.
But of course you already knew that.
