What is enslavement?
One who is enslaved has no rights, and no voice, no compensation for the work he (she) performs etc., that is physical enslavement. Mental enslavement is when one relinquishishes all of her (him) faculties to the control of another entity. Either situation can apply to anyone of any race. The slavery of the past was executed through the use of violence and deprivation, for the purpose of forcing labor from the victims, this was usually menial labor.
The Indians, who were already in the country at the time of slavery, could not be enslaved because they fought back, ran away, and felt that this was their home. So they had to go somewhere else and use people who would become defenseless, once they were brought here, no where to go.
None of these situations exist now, in fact the white man who has that mentality is in the extreme minority. Black people are not afraid to fight back, and in fact, in many situations, or actually in control of what takes place in their environment, and they (we), don't have to let someone who doesn't belong to our group have a say in what takes place in our place. we have guns, armor, muscle, intelligence, influence, media, world support etc. There is no way that they can enslave me while I am still alive, and I doubt that anyone would want to anyway. We already have people performing menial labor, without having to feed and house and provide care for them, at cheap wages. Who needs the headache of trying to enslave someone?
The Katrina incident comes up on a lot on threads on the internet. I work for Homeland Security, the agency is in a shambles. Believe me when I tell you this, the only difference between what would have happened if the victims had been folks with money, would have been that the folks with money would have found their way out, because the government told them to get out. They already know that you can't depend on the government in a hurricane, blackout, terrorist attack, nuclear warfare, food crisis, flu threat etc. Why in the heck don't black people follow the pattern, the government is always failing in emergencies, yet we pityful black folk are still waiting for that first time the government comes through for them. It ain't going to happen, because of widespread government incompetence. It is not always racism, just because it affects black folks. The New York area is in its fourth day of a blackout, mostly in predominantly white Queens. What's up with that?
