Race Slavery

Perhaps my previous posts are a little too oblique. What makes race slavery profitable is the ease of discrimination and the value of procreation, meaning that it’s easier to tell black people from white people (mostly) than it is Dacians from Greeks (look it up, do I have to do all your homework for you?) and that the value of slaves was in potential production, not actual labor.

Think cows.

That’s the way the Southern Slave-holding mindset worked. These people were animals of no more or less worth than a goat, and it persists to this day. Unless you’re a Dacian you’re a goat. Handy that you have that Melanin so we know who to hate.

You know, the United States forbade importation of slaves long before the Pro-Slavery Rebellion of 1861 which mostly didn’t bother the wealthy elite who were already in the market with their surplus production (marked by Melanin) that domestic monopoly now protected and supply constrictions increased in price. No, what bugged them was the moral climate changed and like Banksters they were no longer perceived as “doing God’s work.”

My progressive ‘friends’ may consider this a poor explanation of the demonstrable damage of centuries of discrimination, but I offer no apology for making my arguments from ‘Class Consciousness’ rather than ‘Identity Politics’ tribalism (where are the real Communists?).

Without uniting people regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity. religion, or any others of a list of potential divisions that ultimately are of no more consequence than shiny objects dangled in front of a crib baby to get it to shut up, no political movement is likely to produce the change we so desperately need.

I have a vision of a just nation that fights reluctantly on the side of the weak. One that values the contributions of all. It is not the nation I live in nor one I expect to find.

It is the one I struggle for daily.
