I saw this earlier today and wanted to share it with ya'll. I wanna get perspective.

Katt Williams spoke on issues in the black community. At 4:02 he says "our ancestors were soft as ? fillings". Basically he said if you choose servitude over death you deserve whatever happens to you. He compared his ancestors' 'cowardice' to the old Greeks and Spartans. Katt referenced that movie "300". Unlike his ancestors, these Spartans atleast put up a fight.

Was slavery a choice and were African American blacks cowards for accepting slavery or was Katt going too far.

PS Was that a ? interviewing him? Whatever 'it' was, it gave me te chills. WTF was up with her eyebrows (pause)? That b*tch was hideous.

    It might sound harsh, but why can't he? If you accept slavery over death, aren't you a coward by definition? Why were they "mentally broken"?

    Other people fought against stronger oppressors. The Spartans fought the Greek. The Spanish fought against the Moors. Americans fought against the Brittish. Haitians fought against the French. Ethiopians fought Italy with spears and improvised weapons. I could go on, but you catch my drift.

    How were Katt's ancestors not cowards?

    i can understand the shock and awe part..
    but at what point do u get pasy that??!

    i can even understand bein born into a situation..
    but to die in it?!

    and of course ? aint go wanna touch this topic cause it would be admitting their own cowardice.. seein as ? is still slaves..

    but being born into something.... you're programmed to think thats what life is unless you see different.

    only a special few will rebel while alot is either waiting on someone else go take the first step or they don't wanna rock the boat

    so basically they cowards!!?

    its one thing to be manipulated..
    conditioned.. but that can only take u so far.. keep u for so long..

    but fear can keep a muthafucka forever..
    and aint nothin wrong wit bein fearful.. thats a human emotion.. id think somethin was chemically wrong wit u if u wasnt fearful..

    but to allow it to control u!?

    yeh.. thats yellow!

    Are you sure about that? Haitians were born into slavery. Maroons in countries like Jamaica, Surinam, Colombia, Brazil etc. were born into slavery. What made them fight against oppression while others didn't?

    He is saying we accepted slavery like there was never any fighting back. That is the part I have a problem with.

    Apart from Nat Turner and Denmark Vesey there weren't many rebellions in the US. None was succesfull. In some states black slaves outnumbered these whites 5 to 1 and still didn't fight. These white quakers and abolutionists went harder than these black slaves.

    I think Katt was right about them...

    I hate when people be like '? if I was alive back then, I wouldn't have been no slave! They woulda had to ? me!'. It's very easy to say that these days, having never experienced anything remotely close to slavery.

    But if you were born a slave - having never known anything else...? you just would have been a slave. That's that.

    nah my ? .
    theyd have had to ? me..

    Everybody not built the same. Being born into something doesn't a person will stay in that state. Some people just wasn't going to be a slave born into it or not.

    Some slaves chose to rebel and were killed and some chose to run away and were killed.
