10 Facts About Slavery in Guyana That Shaped the Society

i learned a lot from reading this article

I hope to see one day blacks beginning to develop a higher understanding of slavery which would produce a correct attitude toward it. There's so much more to it than what is thought, and it did serve to create and better shape the free world as it is today. We're all in a constant state of evolution that slavery is very much a part of.

Then if slavery was such a good thing that it shaped the world to make it more free then why don't they impose more slavery , this would make the world more freer still

That's a long story.

But the short answer is that people are hard headed and don't listen, and even worse, they think they know everything but literally know nothing about life, so tragedy is how nature primordially sets the hard headed to learn, and slavery is a tragedy. And it makes sense when you think about it, because if the head is hard and people don't listen, then what else is there to develop them besides tragedy?

Just 60 years ago blacks were being segregated against and hung from trees, and here today we have a black president, supreme court judges, mayors, and attorney general. Who ever thought that America would ever have this? Especially a black president? And blacks and white now mate and marry famously and just about nobody thinks a thing about it. That's progress. Progress resulting from prior tragedies.

Ahhh. The Gods are very clever and I like the way they think.

Nice article. You guys should check out a film called BURN with Marlon Brando. It's a cool film about a slave revolution in the West Indies.

"There's so much more to it than what is thought, and it did serve to create and better shape the free world as it is today."

A free world? There are more slaves now, globally, than at the height of chattel slavery. There are more black men in prison now in the US, then were enslaved at the height of slavery. This "better world" was created despite slavery. There is nothing good about slavery.

"Especially a black president?"

Obama is also the first black president to ever bomb an African country (5 of them so far). Politically, he is more "white" than Bush, more right wing, more reactionary.

You're missing the whole point. Slavery is a part of evolution because people are hard headed and don't listen. They have to learn the hard way, thru the terrible teacher of experience because they think they know everything and don't listen. Their very mentality itself, the systematic functioning of their thought processes are slavish, firmly set in bondage, so slavery takes many many different forms. Where's there's no chattel slavery is still societal slavery, where as you said, is jails. Alcohol, drugs, recreational sex, credit cards, mortgages, loans of any kind, cigarettes, boredom and a constant yearning for recreation, gangs, etc., including marriages, are all forms of slavery. The slavish mind is engulfed in slavishness. Almost everything it desires and thinks about trails to slavery.

A girl or grown woman runs out, grabs a guy, and starts living together and gets pregnant because she don't want to be alone and for no other reason. That's automatically subjecting herself and the male into slavery because neither she or he is ready to withstand the responsibility of what they're doing. A boy or grown man wants somebody handy to have sex with. That's automatically subjecting another person to slavery because he expects somebody to be at his beck and call for sex. It's slavery. And a worldwide sex slave industry exist out of this. It's slavery, and nearly a million women and children are trafficked a year. An unhappy and unfilled person expects another person to make them happy and fulfilled. It's dumping their condition on another person instead of facing and resolving it on their own. It's slavery. The mind itself in firmly set in enslavement. It knows nothing about freedom, so there can't be a society with no traps for this mentality to get entangled in. So even in a free society with no forced slavery, is still set up for voluntary slavery and filled with traps to be egotistically walked in.

You're missing the whole point because this is how the Gods want it. They want us fully developed and freedom is a divine part of development that has to be earned. We can't just live in sleep and depend on a political system to give us freedom because no matter how much privilege it grants, the people themselves are still slaves in their mind because they're no higher in development than base animal tendencies. So the free society is still a dog eat dog society where most people are looking for somebody to dump their problems on and a fool to take it on. Be grateful for the freedom a free society enables it's citizens to be themselves and decide how they want to live. It doesn't mean that it won't have any serious problems.

Progress is slow and according to the each individual.

The society set for voluntary slavery is better than the one set for forced slavery because the one set for forced slavery is slowest to develop and learn and is more laden in armed conflict. A slavish mind is a condition that needs time and the freedom to heal, which is not really possible under forced conditions.

all us are slaves. we are slaves to our jobs.

Okay, so if nobody works and nobody is a slave, then what?

Nobody is working so who will take care of life?
