People really do make such a fuss about muh freedom but is life as a slave really all that bad?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Narrative_Collection

A bunch of former slaves were surveyed in the 1930s, and the prevailing sentiment was that life as a slave was pretty comfy. Much easier then life as an African tribesman or life as a freeman.

Well no shit since reconstruction didn't do anything and most former slaves were impoverished serfs

You made it sound like that was intentionally done to them when in reality that’s simply the reality they were faced with once they were forced out of the comfy womb of slavery.

It was intentionally done. Reconstruction failed because of white backlash & terrorism.

If the majority of the population lived that way how could it be honestly expected that a former slave population would live any better? Just sounds like narcissistic niggers whining that people don’t pamper their ass so much.
