slavery ended 147 years ago

still fairly recent in history

ima need white folks to stop coming with these redic large numbers so they can feel better about saying get over it

Not to mention freed slaves were forced to buy, live and work under their former owners because the U.S. Government refused to give them any aid. Indentured servitude became their own means of survival.

They got freed on Sunday… but were put back on the plantation on Monday.

Slavery did not 147 years ago. We just stopped calling it that.

Also: Laws were passed that made it illegal for black people to “not work”.  If you were walking down the street and couldn’t name the white man you worked for, you were arrested, put in jail…. then rented out as convict labor.

So…
