Breaking Down the Racist Fictions That Have Shaped America’s History
The white supremacist lies of slavery are still repeated today by those who know nothing of history, or who don’t want to know, and would rather repeat the lies passed down from slavery by relatives. Enslaved Black people were said to be lazy, unintelligent, mostly unskilled, devoted to racist masters, afraid of ghosts, liars, thieves, and more, while the records and costs of slavery, as well as the brutality of slavery, was kept quiet so the argument about how brutal and savage it was could be kept away from the history books. Slave owners should have been executed or jailed rather than let them repeat lies across time to infect people today. Not knowing why there is a Black National Anthem, or trying to say it is divisive, is the mark of a fool that has been propagandized by some grandpa. Let us look at some examples of the lies of slavery.
The Myth of Laziness
If anyone was lazy, it was certainly the slave owners. People with slaves hope to prevent their children from working so they could avoid hard work meant for slaves and the poor. The slave owners created the idea that slaves were lazy. In a book titled, The Diary of Colonel Landon Carter, 1752-1778, He said,
“Keeping Negroes busy was especially important, not only because they might meditate their freedom to their master’s destruction if they had too much idle time, but also because they were less honest and more imperfect than white men. . . kindness to a Negro seemed to be the surest way to spoil him . . ..”
The work of enslaved people was not entirely unskilled. Many were skilled carpenters, masons, mechanics, wagon makers, horse breeders, blacksmiths, and other professions. No serious student of history should neglect this, and those repeating white supremacist history can be totally ignored.
Racist Mythology Passed Down
Slave owners lived by fiction and racist mythology, and passed it on to poor Whites so that they would fight for Robert E. Lee and other wealthy slave owners. This passing on, of white supremacist lies, is still repeated today. The real savages, the slave owners, mostly escaped the justice of history with well-thought lies and propaganda that their ancestors often repeat today. Slaves were expected to identify their lives, if any, with the fortunes of the slave master. We can see this today in form of Blacks that love “Master Trump.” This “midnight mint julep tea” racist mythology helped to hide the horrors of slavery. The costs of slavery were enough for to sucker poor whites into joining the Confederacy and shedding their blood for the plantation bigots. For example, the cost of a slave hunting dog was about $300 or more. When slaves were executed, it costs hundreds of dollars.
Distorted Records and Historical Lies
Serious data is missing from Census reports and in the minds of those who call themselves historians. Those historians who pretend to be objective are suspected of repeating racist lies. The inaccuracy of Census reports is well known. These reports leave out the detailed financial data of the costs of slavery as it would provide solid evidence why the Civil War was about slavery…. centrally about slavery. Often, only sex and age appear in the data on slaves and often comes from dishonest reports in plantation journals. Who are the real liars and thieves here? The census takers, mostly White, passed on the lies to protect the wealthy slave owners and “White History,” after slavery. Thus, pre-Civil War data and records are highly inaccurate and was done so to pass on slave owner history and lies.
