Bro, I get what you are saying. I am not sure how I feel about it.

There's a quote in the film Django that essentially asks the question: why were there so many slaves in so many positions to overthrow and kill their masters but never did?

I've never been black and I've never been in chains (well, except for the occasional freaky romp) so there's no way for me to understand the mindset that slaves were conditioned into.

I have however felt fear, and been a fugitive.

Seeing your friends and families abused, raped, beaten and killed must instill constant fear into a person. And fear clouds judgement to the point that many of the little daily decisions we take for granted seem impossible.

So to organize a revolution of people in this condition that couldn't write, didn't have access to rapid safe communication, would necessarily be an impossible task.

Maybe I am wrong man, I'm definitely not wise yet but it still feels to me like slaves are often born into a world where to an outsider it might seem like they have a choice. But if they are never told of it, do they really?

Good post. I'm curious to hear your response 😊
