$700 paid for BLACK SLAVE photo (???) -
10-13-2014, 02:57 AM
It appears our GOVERNMENT has paid the unheard-of sum of $700 for a mere photograph of a Civil War black slave (!)
Her entire LIFE wasn't worth that much when she was sold, I'd wager...and you can take your own pictures of blacks today and have them developed at the Pharmacy for just a few cents.
This is highway robbery, and I'd like to know where that money is going!

'Priceless' Civil War Photo of Slave Selina Gray Found on eBay
A National Park Service volunteer browsing on eBay has made an astonishing discovery: a long-lost photo that park officials have described as a "priceless" piece of Civil War history.
The stereo view image depicts Selina Gray (at right, above), an enslaved woman who was head housekeeper at the Virginia home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. NPS spokesman Lee Werst described Gray as a "pivotal but little-known figure in our nation's history." Her bravery in defending the house after Gen. Lee's family left helped to save cherished heirlooms that had once belonged to President George Washington.
The Park Service bought the photo for $700 from an eBay seller in England who had found it in a box of unwanted photographs at a junk sale. NPS volunteer Dean DeRosa credited "sheer luck" for his discovery of the photo on the website. "I recognized Selina Gray instantly," he told NBC News.

That nigress looks like one of my kitchen coons. I wonder if pictures of it would bring $700.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

How do we know the picture isn't fake.... and not actually Michelle Obama-rama in old clothes with their two daughters?
How do we know the ebay "seller" in London making the $700 isn't really the Obamas?

If nothing else, that picture underscores the lie of mistreated slaves. To hear the shiftless shines around here tell it, they were all in chains in a field getting horse-whipped by Massuh.
Liars.

In this one an Uncle Remus-type "slave" is even being given an education....being taught to read by some little toddlers. (The two youngest have apparently fallen asleep because it's taking him so long to form the words.)
I ask you, WHERE are these terrible lash marks they're always talking about? WHERE is the baby being ripped from it's wailing mother's breast? I don't see it in the picture.

Who would have guessed those 'brutal slave owners' would have spent so much on clothing to keep their darkies in fashionable hoop skirts. When is the Lieberal media going to accept the fact that the Antebellum South was a step up for the Negro? After a lifetime of being chased by lions while flies crawled on their faces, a Southern plantation was Club Med for them.
Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

I think the whole myth of the "Horrors of Slavery" is just made up tripe....like The "Holocaust"
There are pictures of "slaves" merrily dancing, for God™s sake! .I mean, just how gullible do they think we are??

I think she looks pretty. Happy too. Compare her to a modern day sheboon—noise, smell, obesity, nasty attitude—and it's night and day, or at least two different shades of night. Does anyone still deny that we were all better when they were slaves? Brother Remy calls the antebellum period the Golden Age of Negro Culture, which it was. They were useful back then, they worked hard, and they had something to show for it. What on earth is their purpose now?

Amen, Sister! We brought them to a better climate, taught them how to use fly-swats, gave them clothing, showed them that a bed with a roof over it was better than a tree, and most importantly, we gave them a chance to save their immortal souls by teaching them the Good News of our Lord and Savior. They should be dropping to their knees and tearfully thanking us for the glorious gifts we bestowed upon them.
Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

The reparations they owe us are incalculable.

Exactly, for centuries we've been paying their food stamps, housing assistance, unemployment benefits, ebolacare and hardly an hour of honest work in return. They owe us a lot of unpaid labor to pay back for all they've taken from us.
Leviticus 26:15-16
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

I find it interesting that a white man even bothered to take a photo of them. Why would anyone bother? Whoever took the photo must have cared about them. I suppose it's a bit like when I take cute photos of my dog.
