Katt Williams says ancestors were cowards for accepting slavery. Right or wrong?

[Louis Devinear]

For all of those who are against what he said.

Would you willingly accept slavery?

 

[texas409]

I always wondered if its 60 slaves to one white family and about 3 overseers on a farm why didnt most slaves rebel. Shit just never added up to me

 

[Louis Devinear]

So if slaves were cowards does that mean niggas who kill other niggas are strong? Since their enslaved maybe mentally, physically, materialism or just because they dont want to look weak.

Wtf does this have to do with physically forced bondage?

Don't sidetrack the argument. This ain't about niggas killing niggas or the after effects of slavery.

The argument is, were niggas cowards do letting white people ride on them for so long.

Colossians 3:22 

Servants, obey in all things yourmasters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God

Ephesians 6

Servants, be obedient to them that areyour masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

If that's the case then niggas today are cowards too, police are killing us and we don't do shit, they make laws that target us and we don't do shit they push drugs into our communities and we don't do shit ect. So if he really believes that then he should have been a dead muthafucka a long time ago.

When Micah Johnson killed those cops look at all the niggas on here that was in the thread talking about he was stupid and we can't defeat the government in a armed revolution, so I guess niggas today have the same mentality as the niggas of yesteryear

Man bruh. And to make it even more fucked up these niggas act like slaves could read, use a map, find food, a piece of wire, a wheel, a lamp, and a chair to make a car and be on some mcgyver mixed with bear grylls shit. Smmfh. Like you said they was shittin on micah about how we can't beat the government but slaves in a new land suppose to be on some catcher freeman shit. Gtfohwtbs

Okay I have a book for the people that agree with Katt.

Many other books and instances of armed rebellion.

But really I think most of you are trolling at this point.

I was watching a doc on youtube about slavery in Mauritania. Slavery is still practised to this day in certain parts of that country. Some of these slaves and former slaves were mentally broken like @2stepz_ahead said. Even when they were freed, they went back to their former masters because they didn't know what to do with all that freedom. These people were indoctrinated to feel they serve Allah if they serve their Arab masters. I felt bad for them TBH. Even when they technically weren't slaves, their masters would still rule over them as if they were.

Maybe it's comparable to when fellons get institutionalized.

I descend from maroons and Haitians so my bloodline nuh coward

Maybe HIS ancestors were bitchmade

Katt might have referred to his ancestors, but it could just as well be about other blacks in latin America and the caribbean. Not every Jamaican or Haitian slave fought alongside the maroons. Some collaborated with white slavemasters. In countries like Mauritania and Sudan some blacks still live like slaves. Maybe it's something in blacks that makes them susceptible to being subjugated by outsiders.

Maybe all blacks were/ are cowards to a certain extent.

 

[semi-auto-mato]

slavery was well thought out. what do u when u are shackled and sent across a ocean to a land u do not know around people u cant understand? where do u run? how do u plan when I speak one language and u speak another? what do with fight with? we do know that as time progressed the slaves fought back. my ancestors were not weak. they were put in a fucked up situation.

 

[NoCompetition]

Immature viewpoint. They were prisoners kidnapped and held through violence. Outnumbered. And they didnt "accept" it. They fought against it until it was ended. Ending it It wasnt just white people giving them something to be nice.

 

[ghostdog56]

And let's not forget that white people had the greatest weapon in the world

Christianity. It still got niggas forgiving and forgetting look how quick those black folk forgave Dylan roof or look how niggas forgive Hillary for helping with that crimes bill that sent mad blacks to jail and broke up numerous families

nat turner and paul bogle were Christians so fuck out of here and stop blaming religions for everything, blacks chose to live instead of die that's it, DEATH WAS THE MORE NOBLE OPTION but many did not choose it.

The answer is not simply and neither was slavery.

I don't buy the whole niggers is stupid and deserve it angle .

Folks quick to say slaves were cowards because most didn't fight back, but now just because a couple Christians did the rest wasn't seduced by that book to remain humble and pray for a answer?

 

[mryounggun]

I hate when people be like 'Shit if I was alive back then, I wouldn't have been no slave! They woulda had to kill me!'. It's very easy to say that these days, having never experienced anything remotely close to slavery.

But if you were born a slave - having never known anything else...nigga you just would have been a slave. That's that.

Like I said before, how do you explain Spartans, Haitians, maroons in the caribbean and South America etc.? They fought eventhough they were born into slavery. I know it's hard to admit, but I think you should come to grips with the fact the overwhelming majority of your ancestors were slaves. We can't fight against facts, even if the truth hurts sometimes...

Show me where I've posted something - today or in the past - that would suggest that I'm not aware that my ancestors were slaves.

Standing by...

 

[thegreatunknown]

So he's giving a black and white answer to a situation steeped in gray. Looking back on the accounts and many different types of subversive actions enslaved men and women did will tell you that...

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

i aint listening to that shit

the shit is more complex than a black & white yay or nay response, but the first step in remedying whats fucked up or what went wrong is accepting such

we have the capacity to change our lives and begin to steer our trajectory for once by simply removing our fueling life force from certain sectors of white society. But we know that shit wont be pretty. so we rather march pray and debate, and consider that shit noble and brave. well forever chase our tails at being scared of death and pain. we never broke that slave/ slave master relationship and refuse to even admit such. until we do, aint no moving forward.

at this rate 60 yrs from now our children will be patting each other on the back for blockin a highway or winning a debate against a paid troll on tv. Is that what you want? Is that wjat your willing to accept?

im gettin angry snh

Not all of us. In this day an age. You got brothers that's ready to ride. Then you have those that are just scared.

You got niggas that fight back when police trying to do them dirty. Then you got niggas that turn the other cheek while taking tremendous abuse from police. Saying it's gone be alright. My nigga it hasn't been alright in 400 years.

Just like slave rebellions. You had brothers and sisters that would have died for their freedom. But you had other brothers and sisters who got comfortable with the situation. And well, you see the end result.

Cycles homie. You see it, I see it, our ancestors been through it.

Bottom line if we all ain't on or fighting for the same accord, we never gone be free
