[quote="Sir-Luggoyo"]Abdi,
The blacks alone couldn't have made it unless they had whites actually fighting for their imancipation. The black man's words and actions were irrelevant and held no water unless backed by the supporting whites, so basically, you should be grateful to the whites twice. Once for freeing Ilmo Kunta Kinte and again, allowing you to become a refugee in America.[/quote]
Sir
It was black men men and women and yes, even little black children getting beat, hosed, and even torn to pieces by dogs to get their freedom. Not whites.
And please tell me you arenot so gullible to believe whites fought for the freedom of blacks because they though it was the right thing?
Some whites in the south didn't like slavery because it took land and jobs away from other whites.
White women sure as hell didn't like slavery because they were tired of their husbands and sons raping little slave girls instead of have sex with them.
The white north was against it because by the time the mid 1800s came around they had what they needed from th south already and felt it was time to fix the americans rep with the rest of the world.
That whole thing about Northern whites feeling bad about slavery because they were Christain is pure BS. They owned slaves too and both the north and the south used the bible to justify slavery in the first place.
