I remember reading a diary of a plantation wife in South Carolina. She was bitching because she couldn't get the slaves to go out into the rice paddies in the sweltering August humidity and heat(can you say "malaria?&quot .

In this arrogant white woman's diary, she whined that "white people aren't made to go out in the swamps - too delicate to cope with the heat and the mosquitoes." but then she turned around and called the black slaves lazy because they weren't exactly thrilled at the prospect either.

No, they weren't lazy; they just didn't want to get sick building a fortune for a racist, human-owning pig in crinolines.

Black people built the South and everything in it with blood, sweat and tears. Some ignorant Caucasians merely want to take all the credit - as usual.
