Life / Poles are not racist [873]
SLAVERY. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE TIMES WHEN SLAVERY WAS RIFE, MY ENGLISH WORKING CLASS FAMILY WERE NO BETTER OFF THAN MOST SLAVES.
They had no choice of what work to do, they could be whipped, thrown out of their mean dwellings, transported to the 'New World' in horrific prison hulks for very minor crimes, often necessary to feed themselves, they were owned by the lords of local manors, often worked 16, yes, 16 continuous hours a day in the local mill for a subsistance wage, started working as 8 year old children full time, some starved or froze to death whilst working etc etc etc.
THESE WERE THE TIMES IN WHICH SLAVERY WAS CONDUCTED.
NO APOLOGIES, NOT FROM ENGLISH ME.
GET OVER IT.
ALL WE CAN DO IS LEARN FROM PAST MISTAKES. SAYING SORRY IS MEANINGLESS, TO BLACK, WHITE, GREEN OR PURPLE!!!!!!!
Chest clear.
