If slavery was so bad why were the unemployment numbers for blacks so low during that time frame?

Question

Blacks have a very high unemployment rate today, in the slave era they didnt. They werent beat all that hard, it doesn't make good business sense. As an analogy I dont break my tools that make me money, i take care of them and nurture them so I don't have to buy new ones. Were blacks better off as slaves? If you are black and say no then quit complaining about slavery on yahoo answers and get over it. Were blacks better off as slaves?

my point is at least as slaves they contibuted to society and didn't leach it dry like the blacks of today. Crowding our jails and keeping the cops busy so they cant do important jobs like direct traffic.

Answer 1

I completely agree, not to mention other races dont go around complaining about something they've never been through themselves, just stories about their ancestors, people they've never met. The point is, whether or not anyone likes the idea of slavery, your right, I dont cut my cooks fingers off, he can't make me any more food and Ive just thrown alot of money down the toilet. Blacks were rescued from that shitpit that is Africa, caused a whole mess over here, and now have more rights than whites nowdays with affirmitive action and the like, as well as destroying any shred of white pride, and then expect us to appologize, pay them, and shine their rims at the same time? I'm sorry, but I'm white, and I'm making it through life just like everyone else, I never owned a slave, theyve never been slaves, and if they want to complain, don't complain to me. I've got my own life to work on, if you feel you can't make it equally in this world, well then brothas and sistas, maybe your not equal. Everyone grow up and do your own thing in this life, its not any harder for one group than another

Answer 2

You have a point. This is not racism its's an actual question that takes true intellect to answer rationally (as seen by the answers all the blacks gave.) It's really tough to say whether or not blacks were better off as slaves. Slavery back then was a huge industry and almost every affluent white (and even some blacks) owned slaves. I think that blacks probably were better off as slaves from an economic standpoint, but as a human being, they were miserable. I would much rather have to deal with the day to day problems most blacks have to deal with than having my basic human rights questioned on a daily basis. Why don't homeless people go to shelters? Because there, even though they get a meal and a bed, they know they're homeless. My point is that as a slave, these people had a place to live, food, clothing, and had their needs taken care of, but they had a master. Now they may have less, but at least they're free to do as they please which is worth a hell of a lot more than all the benefits they had as slaves.

Answer 3

the completed question of who had it worse is appalling yet is surprisingly asked lots--fantastically whilst blacks and Jews party, in my adventure, and it continuously effects interior the international's saddest argument. there is largely one good answer: it is not a contest, and you are able to not quantify human suffering. additionally, bear in mind that interior the Holocaust, people who have been stored alive in concentration camps have been slaves. They spent their days doing slave hard paintings for Nazis. And bear in mind that interior the North Atlantic slave commerce, killing became into inherent to the commerce, with human beings being stored in such situations that it became right into a on condition that a definite very great share have been going to die, so which you would be unable to declare that the killings weren't useful or planned. As on your remark approximately the way it form of sounds like each and every physique forgot the horrors of the Holocaust, and which you by no potential hear how undesirable any Jew had it... whu? You by no potential hear? by no potential? in case you by no potential hear, then it rather is considering the fact which you're actually not listening, not because of the fact it is not being suggested. i'm Jewish, and, nicely, it is not as though we've not got any historic previous of complaining. Borders e book shop had an entire bookshelf on "Holocaust learn". I mean, heavily, dude, i don't understand the place you're getting the effect which you by no potential hear approximately Jewish suffering. Please, by potential of all potential, examine up on Jewish historic previous. lease some Holocaust-appropriate movies. we've an afternoon of remembrance, Yom Ha Shoah. In 2012, it is going to be venerated on April 18. circulate check out countless the activities.

Answer 4

Your an idiot! You know nothing about what you are talking about. Don't tell blacks to get over anything. You don't know what blacks go through. The only people who know what blacks go through are black people. You have no right to comment on most of the things you comment on because you sound ignorant.

Answer 5

You ignorant b@stard! I'm not going to indulge in this bull-shitty question. I just want to tell you that karma is a b*tch isn't it! Blacks worked their assess off during slavery, while "some" white people prospered off of their free labor. Now that the tables have turned and "some" black people are using the hell out of the welfare system, (which you're paying for, lol!) you just can't understand why? I'm so happy to be growing up in this time period! I get to see the real evil people of this world get punished for what they have done in the past. White people have cheated almost every race of people out of something, now the tides are turning and you just can't handle it! (Middle Easterners want to blow you'll up, Blacks will kick your @ss if you look at them wrong, people from Latin America (mostly mixed Indians, ironic...) are reclaiming their ancestral lands, and in Europe the people of Europe's former colonies are immigrating and showing the world just what true sissies most white people truly are! (Paris riot anyone!) If you want to get racist and stereotypical, I can too! (Speaking bullsh*t makes you hated!)

Answer 6

Your statements are overgeneralizations, making them invalid. I try to entertain all opinions but yours is just mean and hurtful so I cannot take it seriously. How absurd to suggest blacks were better off as slaves. Is this the "truths" you were speaking of on my question. It seems you have an underlying disdain for blacks so questions of this nature cannot be taken seriously.

EDIT - Wow, I read so of your other questions and you are very hateful. How do you live with all this hate? It saddens me that there are still hateful people such as yourself and I pray that my daugther (who is biracial) will never have to encounter this sort of blatant disregard for people's feelings.

Answer 7

i would like to believe that you are intentionally being shocking in order to get a point across, 'cause believe it or not, i actually see your point. of course i don't believe that blacks were better off as slaves and i hope you do not either. but i do agree that are way to many people living off of our hard earned wages, and it's not just blacks (not all blacks, of course). it's also many immigrants, specifically mexican immigrants, trailor trash, mother's who keep popping out more kids just to get more welfare and the list goes on.

Answer 8

lets try enslaving white people and see how it works out for them Then we'll know for sure Will you be the first volunteer in this vital experiement to help the world be rid of unemployment? that is your goal right?

Answer 9

DON'T talk about someone if you do not walk in their shoes. some companies do not hire blacks simply because they are black. that is a reality!!!!
p.s. in the slavery era, that was YEARS AGO. the world was totally different and blacks were treated like INFERIORS!!!

Answer 10

It's better to be unemployed than to be a slave. People don't want to be unemployed because they don't earn then and the slaves also didn't earn anything and just had to work for nothing. Your question really makes no sense.
