(The Other Side Of Slavery)

Slavery wasn't just a mental prison and a way of being bound, it was a way to spread millions of Africans and to have made a bigger and better society out of what is called America today.

Many people say slavery is just cruelty or despicable when life is all about chance and without chance and without opportunity to see and feel what life has to offer seeing a different part of the word, learning new languages, meeting different people all from the captivity of slavery. What if life were the same for Africans in Africa as it is in America many fathers today more than 60 percent of African American fathers aren’t committing their responsibilities as a parent, If it were the same maybe more than half of Africans would be thieves, rapist, killers, or letting life pass them bye.

If there was a chance for Africans to come to America how would we let Americans know we want Jobs, a life, or even to be accepted. Slavery was a chance to collaborate to live a life from a different perspective, and being a different person as for (Will is only as strong as one makes it, for the mind can hold so much but a person knows so little).

Force isn’t something that is to be hated, and if it were to be a word that is never to be used again, children would have less education, a community would be running with criminals, chance would only be so optional.

People are so caught on things that happened they’re not looking at things that could happen things they could do or be doing or already did, that’s a problem a lot of African Americans have, the picture their looking at is a blank sheet of paper when so many thing could be written on it’s lines a ‘’Future’’.

Slavery was a way in it’s more than a lot to say there’s a reason for everything, and one of the reasons is a chance.

Black & White is one of the most popular colors, in News Papers, Movies, and People, having a reason for everything is a reason why we live. It would’ve been very little of odds as for Blacks to immigrate to America especially if racism were as big as it way 100 years ago or maybe even today. The way of living in Africa is of unhealthy conditions and of diseased populations are more than 80 percent with HIV/AIDS. If Africans were never involved in slavery Africans may have been the least of the worlds kind, science proven that: more than 6,000 Africans die a day from diseases (HIV/AIDS) 2,190,000 die a year, and less than 50,000 fatalities in 20 years. This disease is one of the most tragic and common in the world, a chance to be diseased free is an opportunity that wouldn‘t be passed up.

  1. well what i have to say about that is it was chance that things turned out the way they did.  No one was expecting that when slavery happened.  No one said "Hey, lets give these people a fighting chance and bring them to america!"  

    They had a different agenda

    Its just nature that we adapt to our surroundings over time.  Me as an African American female have advantages and disadvantages.  

    I am happy to be born in the United States in a time where most is ok

    But If I were in Africa, that would be the life I know and the life I love and no one would be able to tell me that they are better than me no matter what I'm going through

    Even now, life in MY eyes is better than what I believe it would be over there but it's still harder than what your life may be.  

    I wouldn't have to deal with some of the things I go through as a Minority in a country...I would be just like everyone else if I were born in Africa and things would seem more normal

    Being born in this country and being told I'm equal when I'm obviously not treated that way is very stressful...again, we adapt

    I have heard that argument a lot and to this day I dont agree to it.

    however and your point is the same point that i've heard over and over so it may stand in class


  2. Well now, I guess it wasn't your ancestors that were bound, raped, whipped, children taken from their parents and families just totally dissected to afford another race of human beings, cheap labor and also forced from their homes, because it it were, your "documentary" would be a "documentary" and not a sick minded individuals view on what the h**l it wasn't.  There were no favors afforded to the African people who were kidnapped from their native land and no matter what you or anyone else writes, says or trys to document, the ancestors of those Africans, me included, will never thank you.  Africa did just fine before it was invaded by those pale people and the disease, poverty and other ills that have befallen that country, well, if it had been left alone, would have been just as grand a country as the one called America, were prejudice against all people not just Africans, still exists.  Oh and don't get me on the genocide efforts, i.e., AIDS, etc., and where they came from and how they came to be so prevalent in the country were Adam and Eve resided.  So, on a personal note, I do take issue with your "documentary" as in all fairness, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when giving an opinion, one should try to be open minded and not blind-sighted.   God Bless.  

  3. From what little I could actually understand, I think you have absolutely no clue.


  4. Surprisingly, I somewhat agree with your position...however, this is poorly written and hard to understand.
