RE: Slavery Was Not A "Choice" But It Was Made Possible By Mind Control, Not Just Violence

in #history7 years ago

False outrage is the order of today. Slavery wasn't a choice but let's not forget that a lot of the slaves were sold by their own people.

I also think Kanye was misunderstood. Shame that the media punishes you for words without ever waiting for explanations on context or meaning.

Slavery in a way happens today in many countries. The oppressors still rule and the oppressed still outnumber them, but choose to instead beg for crumbs from the oppressors.

Sort:  

Are we not choosing to be ruled by the government though? It's just the choice is obey or fight and die.

well its complicated @brockstory

collectively we are chosing to be ruled by government

but individually we are not

if you or i fight back as individuals we die

which means that we are bound to the social conventions that keep our neighbors accepting their enslavement

see we accept to be slave's and I am not saying that is the right or wrong choice I am saying it is a choice.
