Master and slave exists and so does the institution of slavery —- which I do support and perpetuate the protection thereof. Otherwise I would not be slave to a Master as a permanent life style. Emancipation Proclamation be damed on the worthless paper it was written on, as the institution of slavery is still alive and well. However, there’s a pesky issue of Ownership rights being interfered with.
I do not recall any Master of mine being a fan of Abe Lincoln; and most certainly neither were Masters of my black enslaved ancestors — who hated Abe. Every Master of my ancestors owned them with every intent of keeping them for LIFE, with few exceptions. And majority of my ancestors wanted to remain with their Masters. This includes the Masters who kept some of my female ancestors as slaves, even after 1865. And they refused to leave their lover Masters even after the law was passed. They clung to their Masters until the last breath!
I do not confuse indentured servitude with slavery. Meaning that servitude under the promise to someday be free, is not slavery. Indentured servants are not property. Slave is PROPERTY. It would be a living contradiction for me to submit myself to be slave for life (which I did), but still celebrate abolishment of slavery act, or Juneteenth. If I am going to be slave ( which I am), then that’s what I shall be — devoted & asset to my Master, and not just be sub who pretends to be a play-like slave. Slavery is my heritage & legacy.
Btw, Abe did not free any slaves. And I’m not a fan of John Brown or his sidekick Harriet Tubman, who threatened to kill black slaves who refused to leave their Masters. And for damn sure, I do not celebrate traitorous Nat Turner who would had murdered my dear Master.
