White People Thought Black People Were Pets He Says



This is a clip from a documentary that appeared on television, made in 1968 that interviewed people in South Carolina who remembered what the former slaves were like on their plantations.

For the children of American slaves who continued working in cotton fields after slavery ended, life was still harsh and exhausting. Many of these children were part of sharecropping families in the South, where parents rented small plots of land from white landowners and paid rent with a portion of the cotton they picked. The whole family, including children as young as six or seven, was expected to work from dawn to dusk during the picking season.

Days were long, hot, and physically painful. Cotton plants have sharp burrs that cut into fingers, so children’s hands often became raw and bloodied. They worked bent over for hours, dragging heavy sacks that got heavier as the day went on. In the summer heat, there was little shade, and breaks were rare. School attendance was often disrupted or delayed because children were needed in the fields during harvest time.

The work was not only physically demanding but also emotionally draining. Children understood from a young age that their labor was tied to debt—the sharecropping system often left families owing more to the landowner than they could pay. This meant they could not easily escape the cycle of poverty. Despite this, families sometimes found small ways to make the work bearable—singing in the fields, talking to each other, or imagining a different future. But for many, childhood meant labor first, education second, and very little time for play.

  1. I rest my case. The Caucasians are an Egotistical type race of People those whom aren't 100% Human those whom burns under the Sun those of fictional Mythical Theological beliefs. Please Mr Scotty beam me up for the Caucasians are a race of being delusional thinkers whom rules the Planet Earth

  2. They had to do everything for them, you stole em from their land. They dont know anything other than their own culture. You enslaved them you didn't enroll them in college and taught them to read.

  3. If they are so supreme, why all of the genocides and the whitewashed history, and all the lies. All of those stone structures all over the globe with those faces on them seem to be saying a lot about who is supreme.
    Peace

  4. Not all white people were racist. It's never been white vs black, it's ALWAYS been ruling class vs working class. The whole race thing was started by the government/monarchy to distract us from overthrowing them.

  5. The making of a slave by Willie Lynch says otherwise…. they had to break the black man before breaking the woman and then in turn the results were them taking care of our seeds as he is suggesting…which is even relevant today especially when it comes to them using our black sisters against us!

  6. Baby, he is who he is. He could have just as easily have said no and nothing would have happened to him. So what? He'd be "uncool",? Bullsh!t. CANADA IS THE SOUTH TOO. Look, there is no housing anymore. CANADA IS HELLA RACIST TOO! They are EQUALLY AS RACIST AS AMERICA. The obit difference is in Canada, their LEADERS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT IMAGE, so you CAN SUE there. They have actual laws against racial bullying where here, even l*nvhing is defacto LEGAL!!

    Challenge all you want, we gave no federal law against m3rdər at all and the anti l*nching bill was never passed and the modified one HAS NO TEETH and basically just admitted it's not nice but they can't and don't do anything about it, so bp are "committing self deletions" in public places all over America, mostly the south, in the same method and sometimes they beat themselves up, they give away their expensive cherished possessions to wht supremacists they have last seen then with, yeah nothing has chanced.
