“power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”
Not sure about the validity of this specific picture, but it’s not surprising at all. Assholes will always exist in every corner of the world. Doesn’t matter where youre from or what color your skin is or what your favorite animal is
One thing I can tell you that they don’t discuss and prefer we didn’t is that the banks and insurance companies owned the slaves and we pretty much know who owns those businesses. Farmers did not have the help they needed to work the farms so the banks came up with a labor solution. The farmers had to pay the banks monthly for the slaves and it was like a car loan, mandatory for you to carry insurance on your bank owned slaves in case of death or them running away which happened frequently. If you did not pay the bank or the insurance company they would repossess the slave and re purpose their labor. This is the reason why you hear about slaves getting their papers and becoming free, because on occasion after the farmer would pay off the debt they would allow the slave to become a free citizen.
Yeah nobody likes to discuss this but they also owned the ships that brought the slaves over to the americas as well, and heavily invested in the slave trade
