Honestly, I don't know WHAT I would have done had I lived in that situation.
I'm glad to be blessed NOT to have lived in it.
Nevertheless, 400 years is a LONG time to think.
Generation after generation after generation.
You had many examples of AfroAmericans who actually THOUGHT about their situation and reconed that death would be sweeter than the life they were living....the Toussaints, the Turners, and Vessy's. Not to mention the thousands who probably jumped off the slave ships while they were traveling the Atlantic.
I'll be quiet on this one. ~Love and Respect to the Ancestors~
