Try walking around without wiping your butt for a day or a week. Yep now try laying down in shit for 4-6 weeks, most of it isnt your own. Then add some blood and some mucus. Then grab some chains. Slavery was that bad. dont u ever fucking tell me it wasnt! (via howtobenoladarling)
Not to mention every now and then you were raped by those that were working the ships. Male and female were raped.

24 hrs laying in extremely tight positions with hundreds of people that are suffering from all kinds of diseases due to malnutrition. Weather wasnt always the way the ship owners planned and voyages took longer than usually, the longest I was told by a professor was a whole year.

Most people have no idea what happened to our ancestors, and that’s due to the fact that the powers that be want to act like it never happened.

and (high) potential for spending that ridiculous amount of time in those filthy conditions while chained to a dead body.

my world civ teacher tried to say some 4 to 6 weeks
(via luckythinks91)
On the real if you ever meet an actor that played a slave on Roots ask them about that. They were only in those, fake might I remind you, chains and positions for a bit at a time and they couldn’t take it. Crying and hysterics, the whole shebang.

I’m not sure who doesn’t know about this since we had it drilled into our heads even at my preppy school in Missouri full of white Republicans, but I will never say no to historical awareness. I think 4-6 weeks was actually the norm, but it could occasionally take up to six months. But you know what? 4-6 weeks is more than enough. 4-6 hours is more than enough, Christ. In the spirit of my usernamesake I will add that it makes me so mad that a few states hijacked the Declaration to take out the paragraph about the Atlantic slave trade and then hijacked the Constitution to add an extra twenty years before it could be prohibited.
