Do you really believe they held their own contracts and negotiated deals with their owners? I think you need to rethink your position on history and read more about it. The whole purpose of this post is awareness, white males, children, women were held as "indentured slaves" and so were Native Americans,who truly lost everything when we took them over. It's not one race here, it's a whole bunch of nationalities and cultures that we as Americans need to be aware of beside the African slaves throughout the centuries. We should be a nation of total equality no matter the color or where you came from, and no special rights for anyone based on skin color because everyone can go back to their roots of injustices in our past. All lives matter, and it's time we get equality, but same goes true for the Chinese who were rounded up and kept in camps, the Native Americans who we stole their country from, the Africans that were enslaved, the white Irish and other Europeans who were also slaves via "indentured servants". Doesn't matter. It's the past and we all need to move forward...Every nationality has some injustice done hundreds of years ago, and then we can go into equality... |
