12 million slaves between the 1600s and 1800s and pretty much all of them rebelled in some way every day. From working poorly under an overseer they didn't like to get him fired, to learning how to read against the master's will, to leaving the plantation at night to meet with other slaves, to running away to the North, to running away and coming back to wreak havock, to full on rebellions and murder. What they didn't do was humble themselves and wait for white men to treat them nicer.

That’s right

Never got their '40 acres and a mule' though. Even Lincoln lied to them

@@yippee8570 Lincoln was assassinated before the war ended. Andrew Johnson is the one to blame.

I can imagine people saying “they didn’t flee that often and never rebelled, so they must have been content” or “listen, it’s unfair but would you rather they be homeless and starving?” Or “cruel punishments where the exception, a good boss wants to make money, happy workers = money so they wouldn’t have been THAT cruel” and they’d believe it

There's more where that came from...

It’s pretty standard for these *Levitical law* loving Christians. They still don’t understand the point their Christ was murdered for making over 2000 years ago, according to their story. If you look at it that way, it’s almost understandable that they are still lagging behind the human rights found in our world today. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Nat Turner's rebellion happened in 1831. There was over 200 years of American slavery before that. Every once in a while the slaves were taught to read. For evidence read Frederick Douglass' book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass." His education began when the mistress began to teach him to read. Her husband made her stop teaching him so he had to continue his education on his own in secret. I wouldn't say it was normal to teach slaves to read, but never is an exaggeration and untrue.

I'm sure a few owners taught their slaves to read, but only to teach the Bible or assist processing profits.

If it were "never, ever, ever" then the slave owners wouldn't have needed a rebellion to teach them that lesson

Yeah, it was illegal in most states to teach your slaves

After the slave revolt led by Nat Turner in 1831, all slave states except Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee passed laws against teaching slaves to read and write.

You're not even wrong. The planters basically regained power in the south after the end of reconstruction

As a Southerner, I am also convinced since there has never been a time since the civil war that these kind of people weren’t proudly proclaiming “the South will rise again”. These type people never want to change the future, they want only to repeat the past. It’s why they cling so desperately to that buybull that promotes slavery…and the ownership of women’s bodies.

⁠@@harvster997you’re so correct. Say that to the majority of southern wyt folk though and all you’ll get is laughed at. At this point ignorance is a matter of pride with these types.

I hope law enforcement and CPS is investigating what might have gone on their own household. Some of their kids are girls. You have to wonder if they've been molested by their father. If he'd molest his little sisters, what's to stop him from diddling his own daughters? And that stupid doormat Anna sticks with the pig? I know she's got no life skills except cooking, cleaning, and squatting out babies, but Jesus Christ - you have to draw the line somewhere and get yourself and your kids out of a terrible situation and as far away as you can. There is help out there for people escaping a situation like that, and absolutely no percentage in hanging around waiting for the loser to get out of prison, or hanging out with his sicko family.

That whole family tree seems to need running through a woodchipper, what...

That's what religion does to people. Gets out the worse in them.

Kids, who grow up in an abusive household, often end up associating abuse with love. "He beats because he loves me".

Absolutely. Christianity's rhetoric that some afterlife is all that matters, so accept whatever God hands you in this life because you'll be rewarded later for suffering a lot now? Brilliantly useful to slaveowners.

@@deenadamico2673 that rhetoric is not the kind that motivated the civil rights movement. Ever read Exodus? Slave drivers wouldn’t want Blacks to be able read about God liberating the Hebrews from Egyptian slavery. The entire abolitionist movement was Biblically inspired.

The primary purpose of public education in the US is and has always been to prepare students for the 8-to-5 schedule of the average workday. When public education was first being introduced, conservative organizations would not get on board until it was pitched as a training regimen for bringing new worker drones into the labor force. Actual education has always been a lesser priority beyond teaching conformity, adherence to schedule, obedience to authority figures, and accustomization to taking work home to be performed during out-of-work time as preparation for the expectation of performing Extra unpaid labor.

It’s incredibly varied, as is everything here. The US has some of the world’s worst public schools and some of the best. Schools in blue states near major universities are typically purely secular and emphasize critical thinking. Rural schools in the south typically… well… aren’t that. Then there’s everything in between.

@@HappyThife Depends on the school system. Ours had Our Bodies Ourselves on the reading list (for the boys, too - causing some confusion among the less, um, academic guys).

not at my (southern) school. we just did it every morning without question and if you didnt want to participate? a trip to the principals office to receive a lecture about respecting our veterans, our country, teachers, etc. and any argument you make about that hypocritical logic just gets you into more trouble. it was the same with any class prayers the teachers wanted to have but thankfully forcing children to participate in those (and punishing them if they didnt) became illegal.

I went to religious schools, so not only did we say the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag every day, we also recited pledges to the Bible and to the Christian Flag. Also, Keller (‘s wife) homeschooled his kids and there are no curriculum requirements or testing standards for that.

Lincoln was also against giving citizenship to the freed slaves, allowing them to own property or vote. He wasn't the "great emancipator" history makes him out to be.

@@michaelmccarthy4077 He wanted to send them back to Africa or to one of the Caribbean islands.

Yea i loved him for so long as was like "he was a great president". Until i learned on my own reading his letters

People really hate when this gets brought up

I've heard that was less his honest views, and more a lawyerly language trick. Lincoln knew he was speaking to pro slavery people, and so specifically singled out his official view as the president of the US. From what I've heard, while he wasn't perfect, he did find slavery odious. And did at first plan to send the freed slaves back to Africa, but later changed his mind.

Oh, they would have a fit

@@merricat3025the vapours

Germans learn about what went on during WWII for years and not just in their history classes, but how the policies affected everything. In the US, we can't even teach the atrocities committed here without seeing conservatives whine and cry while saying, teaching this is teaching the kids to hate America.

@@stevetournay6103 😁

Christianity was indeed instrumental in ending slavery - in the Roman Empire, and even there not completely. Religion in the US was blatantly used to reinforce the peculiar, and peculiarly brutal, institution of American slavery.

They don't pray to God to abolish the things they don't like because they know nothing will happen. And whenever they pray and things don't go their way, their answer is always, "Well, that just proves it's God's will." So, if they pray for God to abolish all the things they don't like: (the pro choice, pro racial equality, pro freedom, pro environment, pro gun control, anti fascist, pro freedom from religion-biased government, etc., and nothing happens, then they would be forced to admit these things must be God's will. And they're not about to do that. So when anything is REALLY important to them, they don't sit around waiting for God to answer prayers, they take matters into their own hands. All their so-called "belief", and "faith", is just wishful-thinking hypocrisy. When they're really serious about getting rid of something, they act on it themselves; they know that waiting for God does not accomplish their goals.

​@@varonadee6980This right here is exactly what I want Black Evangelicals to take away from.

Well to be fair to Yeshua bin Yusuf, we do not really know whether the sayings attributed to him are accurate, nor of course do we have anything like an exhaustive list of what he said. With Paul of Tarsus we can be much surer; scholars generally agree that most of the letters ascribed to Paul (including Philemon) are indeed Paul's...

" Well, to be fair to..." --- a truly moral leader, such as Jesus, or Paul, would already have suggested a potential future emancipation. --- they abided by Leviticus 25:44-46 Secular society had already outlawed the practice of humans owning other humans. The teachings of Christianism hadn't rejected the practice of humans owning other humans. Solon the Lawgiver abolished debt ownership of humans entirely in 6th Century BCE Greece, while at Exodus 2: 7, a father was allowed to sell his own daughter into permanent enslavement, under the Mosaic Law. While the " Apostle" Paul endorsed humans owning other humans at Ephesians 6 5: " Slaves, be obedient to your masters with all respect..." The Emperor Wang Mang of First Century China abolished owning other humans, even if only for a few years --- they were more morally progressed than YahwehJesus. Edit: The Southern Baptist Church exists in the USA, since 1845, based on the bible author's viewpoint of humans owning other humans. Jesus endorsed humans owning other humans, specifically, and condoned the ownership of humans, and also their being " worthy " of stripes [ of the whip ] at Luke 12:47-48. Regardless of the excuse of: " Oh ! " This is only a parable ..." Jesus never rejected the practice of humans owning other humans, and he thought that slaves being " worthy " of stripes [ of the whip ] , was an acceptable practice. Jesus accepted Leviticus 25:44-46, and so did the Southern Baptist Church, the Southern Methodist Church, and the Presbyterian Church south of the Mason Dixon line in the US. Edit: Jesus criticized the Pharisees for not carrying out the Mosaic Law that ordered the " stoning to death " of a son who didn't " honor his own father and mother ". The Pharisees counted the son's contribution to the Temple as sufficient for being exempt from " stoning to death " --- in other words, Jesus supported the actual edicts and provisions of the Mosaic Law, just as Psalm 19:7-8 had claimed: "... the Law of the LORD is perfect..." "...his statutes are pure... "
