Absolutely

Amen. Were all children of God. It really sucks theres so much racism in this world an the whole thing that happened with slavery.

anthony savage and he was talking sense too,"not messing with no bad women and mighty few men "

They wont listen because to listen would mean to turn off the fun! I still agree with you, though.

John Gordon is he still living?

I don't know,it says he posted one year ago but he's got to be 95 year old

one year ago is when he posted,but he's got to be 95 year old

Joe Savage is my mothers uncle which makes him my great uncle, unfortunately he and his brother David Savage were murdered in a house fire back in 1993.

Opinunate ted yeah just slavery reincarnated,sorta like today except just not quite as inhumane

Opinunate ted No way to control where the mule went? How did you think they plowed before the advent of machinery?

@@mojorisin5775 They would train the mule, and they would hit it when it went astray. Not so hard as to injure it, just enough to let it know who was in charge. Well, it sounds like in Parchman, they could whip the prisoners to control them, but the prisoners could not discipline the mules to control them. And the fact that the prisoners were black and the mule was white, well, they were trying to teach them something, but it probably was not how to plow a field.
