Why did blacks need white to free them from slavery?

This is a serious question. I would like serious answers.

Yes.

/thread.

Well, generally when someone is completely under the power of someone else, it's gonna take the more powerful person to release the weaker person. How the hell else could we (yea, I'm black) have escaped? Consider who were the law people and the people with the guns.

Because they were shackled up and the white dude that was calling them boy had the only key?

Yes, black people weren't organized enough to do it themselves.

Slavery wasn´t actually a white invention, Arabs and the Jews (its in the bible) had slaves, white slaves included. Also blacks had other black slaves in Africa before the white man came.

The reason why blacks were enslaved is because they were basically thicker than whites at the time, as their intelligence *1 grew, they realised slavery sucked.

*1 As nintelligence I refer to scientific and technological advancement, of course survival, herbal use and other talens the Africans had were also intelligent.

That's a ridiculous argument.

So basically this thread is just here to call black people stupid and call white people superior to black people? Wow. retarded.

Indeed.

His first two sentences, however, are full of truth.

Well organized slave uprisings ended in absurd massacres.

On another note:

My ancestors came from the North, fought on the North side during the war, and helped free slaves.

I demand reparations. 😆

No thanks. I'll wait until a better offer comes my way. Besides, you can't offer me reparations on behalf of the U.S. when you are a UK cit.

Maybe so but it has some truth in it.

The beginning, certainly, but I can't imagine how you could think black people were so stupid that the raping beating and forced labor didn't seem all that bad (unless you were kidding).

This guy couldn't do it alone:

He joined the space navy so I figure he did pretty well for himself in the end.

I think black people liked being slaves. As shitty as being a slave was it had to have been better than running from Lions all day.
