So if slaves were cowards does that mean ? who ? other ? are strong? Since their enslaved maybe mentally, physically, materialism or just because they dont want to look weak.

Katt was right. His ancestors were cowards for accepting slavery.
Like I said before, how do you explain Spartans, Haitians, maroons in the caribbean and South America etc.? They fought eventhough they were born into slavery. I know it's hard to admit, but I think you should come to grips with the fact the overwhelming majority of your ancestors were slaves. We can't fight against facts, even if the truth hurts sometimes...mryounggun wrote: »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. -

This is one of those "provocative" topics like the "meh, ? aint too bad" topics -

they're not cowards..
they're mentally weak tho..
but this aint about them.
lets stick to topic.. -
I see what this thread is about to turn into. These AA vs Non-AA discussions are so tired now.

I'm not saying Kat's completely wrong, but I think conquered is a better word. It's not like slaves didn't try over the years. Slaves fought back throughout that era in many ways, big and small. But white supremacy was, and still is, a stronger opponent.

Katt was right. His ancestors were cowards for accepting slavery.Yeah he right.
Til this day ? is still showing signs of cowardice.
I'm not super ? by any means. But it's but so much ? can take.
400 years with a boot on your neck? Nah homie that's pressure. -

Nobody's forcing you to reply in this thread though. You already gave your opinion, so why come back to whine some more? You don't see me replying in these "would you eat (...)" type threads.mryounggun wrote: »I hate when people be like '? if I was alive back then, I wouldn't have been no slave!

Why folks acting like slaves weren't escaping in America? What was the islands in the carolinas and the indian federations, and the escapees to the north, canada and Mexico, and the planned and failed rebellions? The Civil War wasn't our fight for freedom even though we fought in every war America had for a hope that they would accept us. The Civil Rights movement was our war and we lost generals. If anything, cowards are living today complaining and never having to face that hardship, or living in America with black skin but not respecting what the ancestors of African Americans did to make yo ass not have to sip out that other fountain and make a fortune here.

First and foremost can we as a people stop calling black people slaves.....
Second it was several rebellions but they all fail simple because they couldn't sustain weaponry and food. They didn't know how to survive that's why the whites kept them dumb -
Other...French reinforcements was an ocean away
same with the Spanish

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?2stepz_ahead wrote: »BOSSExcellence wrote: »2stepz_ahead wrote: »mayb scared like hell..
? ...time were alot different then.
? was mentally broken...odd was stacked.
can't call them cowards tho
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
Geography and ethnicity plays a big role -
If that's the case then ? today are cowards too, police are killing us and we don't do ? , they make laws that target us and we don't do ? they push drugs into our communities and we don't do ? ect. So if he really believes that then he should have been a dead muthafucka a long time ago.
When Micah Johnson killed those cops look at all the ? on here that was in the thread talking about he was stupid and we can't defeat the government in a armed revolution, so I guess ? today have the same mentality as the ? of yesteryear -
So the cowards were the one that rebelled but lost and the non cowards were the successful ones. Okay, cool!

Katt was right. His ancestors were cowards for accepting slavery.For all of those who are against what he said.
Would you willingly accept slavery?

I always wondered if its 60 slaves to one white family and about 3 overseers on a farm why didnt most slaves rebel. ? just never added up to me

Wtf does this have to do with physically forced ? ?
Don't sidetrack the argument. This ain't about ? killing ? or the after effects of slavery.
The argument is, were ? cowards do letting white people ride on them for so long. -

Man bruh. And to make it even more ? up these ? act like slaves could read, use a map, find food, a piece of wire, a wheel, a lamp, and a chair to make a car and be on some mcgyver mixed with bear grylls ? . Smmfh. Like you said they was shittin on micah about how we can't beat the government but slaves in a new land suppose to be on some catcher freeman ? . Gtfohwtbs -
Okay I have a book for the people that agree with Katt.

Many other books and instances of armed rebellion.
But really I think most of you are trolling at this point. -

Katt was right. His ancestors were cowards for accepting slavery.I was watching a doc on youtube about slavery in Mauritania. Slavery is still practised to this day in certain parts of that country. Some of these slaves and former slaves were mentally broken like @2stepz_ahead said. Even when they were freed, they went back to their former masters because they didn't know what to do with all that freedom. These people were indoctrinated to feel they serve Allah if they serve their Arab masters. I felt bad for them TBH. Even when they technically weren't slaves, their masters would still rule over them as if they were.
Maybe it's comparable to when fellons get institutionalized.
Katt might have referred to his ancestors, but it could just as well be about other blacks in latin America and the caribbean. Not every Jamaican or Haitian slave fought alongside the maroons. Some collaborated with white slavemasters. In countries like Mauritania and Sudan some blacks still live like slaves. Maybe it's something in blacks that makes them susceptible to being subjugated by outsiders.I descend from maroons and Haitians so my bloodline nuh coward
Maybe HIS ancestors were bitchmade
Maybe all blacks were/ are cowards to a certain extent. -
slavery was well thought out. what do u when u are shackled and sent across a ocean to a land u do not know around people u cant understand? where do u run? how do u plan when I speak one language and u speak another? what do with fight with? we do know that as time progressed the slaves fought back. my ancestors were not weak. they were put in a ? up situation.

Immature viewpoint. They were prisoners kidnapped and held through violence. Outnumbered. And they didnt "accept" it. They fought against it until it was ended. Ending it It wasnt just white people giving them something to be nice.
