Most polite "F--K You" letter written by former slave to former master

28. Wow.

Brilliant letter. It made me think of Michelle Obama's comment that every day when she awakened in the White House, she thought about how it had been built by slaves, and then Bill O'Reilly commenting that those particular slaves were 'well fed.'

They were slaves. That's the point. They did not have their freedom, had to work in bondage under brutal conditions, and were not even considered human. There's nothing good about that, and any relationship a white slave owner might have thought they had with a slave cannot be thought of as a reciprocal relationship. The idea that this guy though his ex-slave should have felt any responsibility whatever for a plantation he was forced to work on in bondage shows a profound ignorance and moral blindness.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to forward to some friends in hope that more people might be able to see this letter.
