why are they all white? Charleston’s true legacy is built off the backs of african americans
All Culture and color is shared. You listen to too much crap coming from outside and Hollywood . I don’t deny slavery , how could I ? But We have moved on and healed and that makes us strong . Most of us have nothing to do with it nor belonging to the Plantation Class . Slavery was the law of the land in the USA . It’s over , it’s no more and not everything was built off the backs of slaves in our Culture here .The Plantation Class only made up 4-6% of the total population of the South , including Charleston . Slaves were in the north too and those riches of the north was off the backs of slaves too as you say – the wealth made the north into an industrial power and their slaves were sold down South, except for some “ freed “ slaves . Northerns like in NE hated the Free Blacks in their towns and would attack them and drive them away like vermin . The whole Federal Government grew wealthy and greedy off of Slavery even when the north became industrial and no longer needed slaves – “ freed “ but not really free .Up north former slaves were never really free as many think – Blacks broke their backs doing hard labor for chimp change and lived in terrible conditions . The Federal Government put Tariffs placed on Southern Shipping – 40% , then up to 60% . Now how would you feel if you had to give the Government 60% of your paycheck with no returns ? The whole thing about Lincoln is a lie . He was racist and wanted blacks to go back to Africa . The Truths are there to find . Seek Truths . Right now Blacks only make up 14-16% of the Population of the USA – put that in your head , and if you don’t believe it go seek the Truth . Blacks are well off , look around – yeah they’ll always be those who are struggling regardless of color but the Freedom We Have Is all We going to get here . You gotta get rid of that Victim cry baby stuff , because we all have been victims in history , like mine – the Scot-Irish , We lost our whole Country and we’re hunted down like dogs – mine were also banished , put on ships and forced to serve the empire with our lives . So see , here we are in this Country and We Are Americans . Blacks have served the country good , that’s respect …. It’s not about hate and all – there will always be ugly people who are hateful , it’s about respect . We didn’t get here like it was handed us ? so many wars , blood and suffering from the old world to the new world got us here – yeah lots of bad stuff from the old world made it here but We overcome Brother , We are all GOD’s Children and evil still lurks all around us .
You do know your history, and I agree that we move on from the mentality of “we suffered more than you.”. We are a people of many cultures and we have to accept and forgive in order to heal. Teaching hate toward any group of people will destroy our country and our children.
I would hope that in these difficult times you would deem it appropriate to also feature of people of color in your articles to give a balanced viewpoint. They have also contributed greatly to the success of Charleston.
Thank you.
