Teach the good of slavery says Republican lawmaker

"If you're teaching — if you're having a discussion on whatever the case may be, on slavery, then you could talk about everything dealing with slavery. The good, the bad, and the ugly," said Garofalo. "The whole—"


"There's no good to slavery, though," cut in Hilferty, as nervous laughter erupted around the chamber.


"Well, whatever the case may be," said Garofalo.

Maybe the reason this Hilferty person isn't aware of all the good slavery has done is due to indoctrination of liberal schools. Much like how schools refuse to teach intelligent design and instead force evolution down our children's throats.

What about the pyramids in Egypt? Many wonders of the world that were only made possible due to cheap and forced labor. Not to mention all the economic benefits.

The Bible supports slavery too!


Ephesians 6:5-8 "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;"

I'm so glad you brought this up, Brother Warrior. The good from slavery is underdiscussed. Let's take the great figures in the Bible. All but a few were very wealthy. It is from this wealth we learn of their accomplishments. To be that wealthy they needed slaves. I'm talking King David and all the rest. It's almost like, no slaves, no Bible.

And, if they had not been slaves the Negroes that came from Africa would have kept their indigenous religions, whatever they were. As slaves they were required to accept Christianity. That saved them from an eternity in Hell. Slavery helped the people of Africa.

Re: Teach the good of slavery says Republican lawmaker

Thank you for mentioning this important subject, Brother Warrior. There is a great deal of fuss being made about so-called "modern slavery". Now although I entirely agree with absolutely any criticism of the sheikhs of Araby, the whiny liberals extend their carping to employers of domestic staff in civilized and semi-civilized countries.

Do we hear Brother Rutherford complaining of the terms and conditions of his employment with Pastor Zeke? No, Sirs, we do not! He would be the first to express his gratitude for a square meal a day! Do these people want to return him to the indignity of dumpster diving?

Similarly, our domestic staff here are privileged. They know the comfort of a roof over their heads, washing facilities and our protection from the risk of being picked up by officious immigration clerks, put back on to their leaky dinghies and pointed in the general direction of France.

Slavery has become an ugly word. We need to reclaim its original, charitable meaning.

I understand that there are a lot of very nice buildings around Washington DC and other places that would not have been possible without slavery. Think of how expensive they would have been if the builders had had to pay both materials and labor!

And what about fashion? Does anyone believe all those fine 19th ladies could have swooped about in those big, full skirts if they had to cook and clean and look after their own children?

No, if The Lord hadn't ordained a servant class to shoulder the hard work, then our great nation would be composed of one story hovels and people dressed in flour sacks. It's almost enough to make you support reparations. . . But not really. After all, the slaves were well fed and had roofs over their heads when they were building all those things, so it's not as if they didn't get anything out of it.

Plenty of white people living at that time couldn't even afford a slave. They and their descendants are the ones who have really been left behind. But you never hear anybody talk about how to improve their lives!

Plus, had it not been for slavery, the ancestors of today's African Americans would have remained in Africa. So they owe their very existence as sort-of-Americans to slavery!

Amen, and how very true this is, dear Sister Joanna! Those colored people should think of that before they open their big mouths and whine about reparations, and whatever other complaints they think they have. Goodness knows that has been more than good and kind to them, but they prefer to display an enormous amount of prejudice and resentment toward us!

And, where in this big, wide world could they be treated better? Is it not obvious that things could be so much worse for them, elsewhere? If not for , where else would they have this:

A photo speaks a thousand words! If it wasn't for slave owners where would those people in Africa be today? Still living in mud huts no doubt. A slave in America lives better than a so called "free" person in Africa.


Not to mention, the Bible gives slaves rights too.


For example, you're not allowed to kill your slaves Exodus 21:20-21 , and if you gouge out your slaves eyes or knock out their teeth you have to let them go Exodus 21:26-27! How gracious and loving is God?

Kids love slavery! If I ever have kids I want them to moonwalk and play air guitar in celebration of slavery!

What is happening inside the hut? Just behind the cute niglet in the doorway. We had a similar thing at home when the washing machine exploded. Doubt that mud huts have washing machines though.

It's probably dog-poop. My mom tells me that back in the 1970s, when she was a child, they used to put chalk in dog-food. Nobody knows why. But the result was that when the poop dried out, it turned white.

The people in that hut seem to have turned it into a decorative "feature", but I suppose they have to work with the available materials.

Liberal false Christians tie themselves in knots trying to "interpret" the Bible passages on slavery to mean the opposite of what they plainly say. Everything becomes so much simpler to understand when you realize that when the Bible conflicts with a modern perspective, one of them is wrong, and it isn't the Bible.

This part of the Bible that I don't like is just an allegory, or represents the outdated beliefs of bronze age goat herders that aren't relevant today. But this part of the Bible that I do like is the inerrant word of God. I've never once heard a false Christian say anything to the effect that "I don't agree with this verse, but God says so, so I have to do it."

It's almost like these people are picking and choosing which parts of the Bible they like and using them to create a God in their own image who agrees with their own beliefs 100%. I personally would like it if Proverbs 23:2 wasn't in the Bible, but I dislike eternal torture in the Lake of Fire even more. The Bible is indisputably pro-slavery. Enjoy Hell, false Christians and mutilators of the Bible!

That's something I never considered, Sister Lytton-Vasey. Would the slaves be considered saved as they worked under their master? That's something I wonder about. If so, then slaves owe their very souls to the white man for that!

I am sure that the pyramids would have been double their size, if slave labor was used, instead of unionized strike-organizing fat lazy bums who build royal tombs in Egypt. The Egyptians did not think of that - much later, ancient Romans were the first civilization to design an economy based on large-scale slavery.

Indeed, Sister. And, let's not forget that slavery has been a respectable African institution for millennia. It was African kings who organized raids to capture slaves to be sold to the West, and African soldiers who did it. White merchants simply waited on the Atlantic shores and paid African intermediaries who dealt with the kings. Even today, social structure in Africa depends on who descends from free Africans and who descends from enslaved ones.

... or to assist them in their own endeavors. Rumor has it that Mansa Musa took 12,000 slaves among his retinue of 60,000-odd on his so-called pilgrimage to Mecca. Their job was to carry the gold bars, which has always seemed like a risky business to me. But I expect they were securely chained.

Absolutely correct. White Americans never enslaved blacks. All we did was purchase farm tools that we later learned had the ability to mimic our speech, and to some extent, think for themselves. By the time we realized our mistake, it was too late! We had lost the receipt.

To this day, we are suffering the consequences of that impulsive shopping trip.
