Myth of the 20th Century - Episode 77 - Ivory Tower - White Slavery
This ep goes into a somewhat deep dive about the murky past of "indentured servitude" that many Southrons on this board are already familiar with. Well as deep as it can get because this is a bit of hidden history that apparently has been redacted with intention in some cases, carelessly preserved in others, often times misinterpreted by historians attempting to start with a hypothesis and work backwards to prove it, while otherwise hinted about in contemporary works when they aren't being quickly suppressed.
The fact is, "indentured servitude" was out right slavery. Many people, myself included, assumed that it just meant people that were conned into working like a slave for some years in the hopes that it would lead to freedom and a new chance, but it's just a window dressing of a term used by contemporary historians to cover up hundreds of years of outright White slavery, often times far more depraved in practice than any negro's, that stretched back to the very beginnings of this country and further back in time into the primordial mist of European history, to the very beginning.
To the beginning of all humanity's history. Dan has done a good podcast about this in the past. But this one challenged a bit of a preconceived notion I have been stewing on for at least a few years; the notion that America was founded by White people for White people. After listening to this podcast I'm just disgusted. Nothing further from the truth could be.
Some parts of this show had me metaphorically writhing on the ground and tearing my eyes out. I'm going to have to go back and listen to it again and read more about it, but my entire world view that I have been formulating in an incubatory milieu of thought crime has been rocked to the core. Give it a listen and lmk what you think.Slavery – the ‘original sin’ of America. Considering how the United States was founded on a frontier and worked for its immense agricultural and material wealth by poor immigrants, securing this labor pool on a vast scale, at low cost, and in a rapid scramble to secure territory from other ambitious competitors – slavery indeed seems a predictable outcome. But how sinful is the practice when considering the global nature of slavery throughout history? And if it is sinful, then why is the practice of white slavery almost never mentioned in the modern mainstream academic and media circles, whereas African slavery get almost exclusive attention? Today we explore these questions with author James LaFond, who has spent countless hours researching this subject with original archival sources, meticulous documentation of first hand accounts of children captured in the middle of the night in places as far north as Scotland, and in fact is descended from people who were brought over to the original colonies to work with no land to their name and no right to own it for an extended period – violations for which they could be severely beaten, or even killed.
