Black slaves that were freed had the chance to leave country. Paid for by the US. They would be taken to Liberia a country in Africa that was founded by freed US slaves. Obviously some left. I’m not agreeing with what the oppressors did to them, however the freed slaves faced being oppressed by choice. They could have left the country paid for by the US to a country free of oppression instead some stayed by voluntary means. You can look up Liberia on wiki to get the story. It’s really unbelievable! I would have left the Us!
So I would have to decline payment for that reason.
@specman I'm not twisting anything. You're saying that black people deserved to be subject to Jim Crow and redlining, because they refused to be ethnically cleansed from the only land they've ever know and after they were nearly worked to death?
@basilfawlty89 twist it however you want! You’re going to anyway! I stated they had an opportunity to leave this country. For those of those born here and were slaves had a chance to leave this country who bought them already slaves . Their neighbor tribes and some times their own made them slaves to sell them. We gave them the opportunity to go to another place in Africa. Some made a choice they freely made to stay. The consequences they faced was a direct action of the choice for whatever reason they stayed. I do not feel sorry for those who freely made the choice to stay. I will tell you that me personally would not have and do not acted the way some do or did. And for your information the discrimination that they had faced were faced also by people labeled as white trash
@specman oh horse shit. White people didn't in American history ever face discrimination on par with African Americans. You want to blame African Americans for their plight. Even the Irish and Italians didn't face full blown plantation slavery.
@specman lol? So I'm not allowed an opinion? This why people get annoyed at Americans. You weigh in (and meddle) in every world affair yet get offended when a other people from another nation does.
