The price of ignorance

Wed Apr 13, 2005, 10:02 PM
Slavery remains the biggest mental block in this country to date. Americans don’t want to believe that their country doesn’t always liberty and justice. Did you know that you can go to Louisiana; New Orleans to be exact. Go on as bayou boat cruise to visit the plantations and slave quarters, and not hear the word “slave” mentioned once during your tour of the south. I guarantee it. I can however, attest to the fact that what you will hear is the word “servant.” Servant!

Now let you ask you, what is a servant? According to formal definition a servant is an individual who performs a task and a appropriated a wage for their services. Slaves were in fact not servants by any means. So why? Why is this misconception prevalent? It is called deliberate amnesia. We want to forget our mistakes and with good reason. Lest we forget the cause, the result is bound to manifest itself in one form on another.

Now let me ask you another question. Where is the National Slavery Museum? Well ladies and gentlemen there isn’t one. Why? I can safely assume that is the same reason of the afore mentioned “servant” situation. Slavery is not a topic we can openly discuss. To be honest, I don’t necessarily feel as though there is a problem with that. Because I know people are scared of public opinion. That fear has dominion is a majority of our lives. So its better to just push the issue aside right? Wrong, see the problem is there are national and supplemental Japanese internment camp victim museums. There are numerous Holocaust monuments and museums. Why must the institution of slavery remain in isolation, forgotten if you will. Are we not people who deserve closure with some type of tangible formality?

I don’t know if I want any children, but if I did, I would want them to observe the hardships of their ancestors. However there is a deeper underlying cause for their hypothetical viewing. I know that humans beings were once pure, innocent, and benevolent entities. Yes, there was peace, but this so called “peace” was brief. Disarray was not applicable then. The reason being is that there was only one human being in the world. Yes, in accordance to biblical text Adam was engulfed with eternal bliss. However, as soon as another was created (or present) problems began.

I’ll just stop there. The reasoning of that reference was to portray an example of an ideology hat previously wrote to you about before. Human beings are prone to disappointment, violence, and contempt. It is in our nature to be so. Point being is this; I want my (hypothetical) children to be informed, or better yet prepared. Prepared for what people will do to you by giving them an example of what has already been done.
