And I further suspect that the narrative pushed in schools that blacks were dehumanized and abused by their masters was likely true in a vast minority of cases.

slave owners should be thought of as shitty not because of how they treated their slaves but because they believed (quite retardedly and greedily) jewish merchants when they showed up with a bunch of africans and told them theyd work really hard

It was also too goddamn hot for whites to work in that climate. They all complained about it. That made them more susceptible to the sales pitch that "these folks are used to it, no problem."

It was certainly in a slave owner's interest not to damage his property, which he paid a lot of money for. They were provided free room and board, and got Sundays off. Nevertheless, the work was likely not easy when they had to do it, but most agricultural workers are not working 12+ hour days like lawyers are, and physical discipline was utilized when slaves were lazy or sabotaging things. I think a good comparison is probably Americans held in North Korean prison camps. Check out Kenneth Bae's account: "In the interview, Bae sat in a room next to a door and a radiator. He calmly described his current prison life as eight hours of farm labor – which he had never done before – with a break in the middle of the day and lunch. He was also filmed clearing the fields, wearing black gloves and a hat as a guard stood watch nearby." https://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/03/world/asia/kenneth-bae-korea-interview/index.html

The government interviewed a bunch of ex slaves in the early 1900s and a lot of them said they missed it. Now if you try to read those interviews there’s a big disclaimer on the website.

Slavery basically sounds like a lib utopia. free housing, free healthcare, free education, guaranteed employment, plenty of community green spaces for kids to play, income equality, housing equality, community policing, deemphasizing the nuclear family in favor of community and maximum productivity. All things libs want to this day.

yes they do. why do you think they pushed the idea that all college grads need to move 1000s of miles away from their homes to hellscape cities in order to truly be "successful". no different than a slave being sold away from his family to go to a more prosperous plantation.

The ruling class did that to uproot the people and accustom them to ceaseless change
If you introduce change to a settled community with strong social bonds rooted in family, history, tradition and active participation in civic life, then you get a lot of resistance
Now we are pliable to arbitrary change, no matter how absurd, and have no solidarity or ability to collectively resist social engineering
The "productivity" angle is post hoc rationalization

Why do communists want to erase the family and rewrite human nature through state coercion and environmental determinism?

It’s a satanic religious directive that conveniently dovetails with the political objective of eliminating rival groups or otherwise rendering them powerless

Marx said the pussy would be free. Abolition of the family was necessary in order to facilitate "community of women." I'm not sure what modern justifications have been put forth.

Libs would let them own the cotton they picked. They wouldn't be able to sell it for money but they would be free to weave clothes and make canvas tents and consume oil from the seeds.

Libs would have some complex system whereby the slaves "owned" the cotton in name only, but in reality they paid taxes on it and had to keep the rest in a convoluted structure that gave no actual ownership rights.

There are plenty of written accounts and photographs of slavery that seem brutal. There’s also the fact that the light brown blacks common in the US now are the mixed race result of the master slave rapes which were common at the time. A better line of defense is that life was often brutal for people living in that era. The level of suffering was slightly higher for slaves compared to their peers though

Wow. Yeah. If I know anything about women, it's that they definitely wouldn't voluntarily sexually submit to the most dominant man in their immediate sociosexual vicinity
Women are NOT like that. These women were cruelly Raped, against their will.

That’s just selection bias. The most gauche and brutal cases are going to be the ones that attract the most attention. Kind of like today, most marriages are perfectly happy, but reading lib media you’d think every marriage was either polyamorous or abusive.

They were escaping to Indian tribes. The Indians knew what was up. There was even a 16th century slave who got famous as an ambassador to Indians. They would kill whitey on sight by that time but if they saw a black dood they were like whatever.

There were multiple historical periods IIRC with respect to life as a slave in the U.S. Towards the end, life was quite harsh for slaves since southern plantation owners were heavily in debt and resorted to further exploiting slave labor to juice whatever additional margins they could secure to have cash flow to meet interest payments.
One of the reasons the UK lowkey supported the south was that, in addition to keep America divided, they had a vested stake in British banks/merchants getting their money back from southern American cotton growers.

Wasn't there an issue with us needing to generate our own domestic supply of slaves because Europeans weren't bringing over any new ones after a certain point?
