Is Ron Paul right or an example of modern day political bullshit? Ron Paul’s exercise of privilege and freedom allowed
him to dip into the minds of slaves. His statements about those
enslaved and their inability to revolt might hold up if he didn’t interject his
racist superiority. Just may be,
slaves were a bit more intelligent than Ron Paul, their enslavers, and the
southern slave machine could imagine and fathom.

Campbell, he and my great grandmother were
There’s
an arrogant veil in Ron Paul’s attempt to correlate early and modern slavery. He fails in every sense of the word; not
taking into account the machine of slavery, its armed forces (militia), greedy capitalist,
captives in an unknown land; owning nothing, couldn’t read or write English,
etc, etc, etc. Yes, they revolted in
ways their inhuman enslavers couldn’t perceive.
In fact, they never harvest more than 30% labor from slavery but, that
small amount produced the material wealth that made America the nation that it
is today. Think what America would be today,
if these people had worked on their own accord, without a brutal merciless
slave industry. Nevertheless, Ron
Paul compared a perceived “modern slavery” to a real era of American history,
which belittles its effect on millions of lives lost to an evil slave industry
including those of whom Ron Paul speaks of as slaves today.
My great parents did as millions of others; made the best of
their lives realizing that life is what Almighty God made for them, but what
the enslavers didn’t know is that within my parents soul and mind is millions
of years in knowledge, from the great continent of African, about how they
would live with the earth and make peace with the great power of God. My parents also knew
that the balance of power is flimsy, even if it takes a thousand years in the
working; power changes. Ron Paul
is wrong to think that all white people have the same ideals about the world
and that all whites feel as if they gave the enslaved their freedom. If they all had gotten together on Mt. Sinai
to keep the oppressed in check, they would’ve failed.
Superiority
based on color or knowledge could never stand; the human spirit would never
rest while its creation is under attack. If skin color could determine superiority;
intelligent creatures, as depicted superior to man, imagined from other planets,
skin color would be white. If there is superiority, then it’s best
worship in Almighty God. Superiority
based on knowledge is that of a teacher’s superiority over a student; how long does
that last?
