Slavery in the South and Slavery today...the great "con"

In all honesty True_Confederate had the guts to speak his mind and showed guts also to stand up for what he believed. I hope this thred is not what got him banned. If you disagree with someone fine but using your abilities as a moderator to ban someone because you don't agree with him/her is in bad taste...poor show.

Now that I'm off my soap box I will make my comment.
(taking a deep breath, crossing fingers hoping not to get banned)

Are not blacks and poor whites/browns/yellows who live off welfare in the same boat as the slaves? we fed them clothe them, give them housing and money for cigarrettes and such. the only apparent difference between slaves now and slaves back then is...

WE NOW GET ZERO PRODUCTIVITY OUT OF THEM!

and we get all the crime because now since they are not working, they have lots of time to join gangs and rob liquor stores and shoot innocent bystanders in drive by shootings.
and now they are slaves to the Democratic party. What do the Democrats get out of this you ask???

AN UNEDUCATED VOTE!

congratulations welcome to the modern day plantation.

stay a while.

No you don't get beaten. You get fired and may die from starvation or live in a cardboard box. A slave rarely was beaten. Coercion is best done by ridicule or less than capital punishments. The Southerners, great managers they were, knew how to punish without physical abuse and physical abuse was forbidden in slave states.

Explain how there are so many blacks of slavery having mixed race children (still slaves even though half white). Were these women ridiculed into rape and forced breeding.

I can't believe some of the crap people are spouting about economic slavery and government slavery. This isn't about that. These arguments are just smoke and mirrors for the real issue.

True-Confederate wants to bring ownership of humans back into the fold of normal society by using a false premise and dubious sources. Most people are too ignorant or just plain stupid to see this.

T-C, I have to give you some credit. You are proving P.T. Barnum's quote very well.

No, it wasn't this or any other thread that got him banned. Sending abusive u2u's though WILL get you banned.
