The history I wasn’t taught in school. A black woman sold her black husband into slavery https://medium.com/@FactverseMedia/did-you-know-a-free-black-woman-once-bought-her-enslaved-husband-then-lost-him-forever-after-ad41a8ced922did you know a free black woman once bought her enslaved husband, then lost him forever after selling him? She didn't lose him, she sold him. Now notice the change in language when a woman is the slave owner, right? You'll see they tried to make her the victim of her own crimes, right? Now here she is, our hero, right? History is full of stories that seem too unbelievable to be true.Well, if they're unbelievable because we've been fed propaganda since we're young, A woman selling her husband into slavery is not unbelievable to me whatsoever. I mean, that's what marriage is, actually. Anyway, one of the most remarkable is the account of Dilsey Pope, a free black woman from Columbus, Georgia, whose life reveals just how cruel and complicated slavery could be in the United States.Now, it's not cruel, she wasn't the victim here. It's not complicated, it's very simple. She became a slave owner, and she sold her man when she got pissed off at him.This is very simple. Notice when white male slave owners, it's all very simple to them. Their slavery, it's all simple, right? They just want to own people.But when women do it now, it's very complicated. Unlike millions of African Americans who lived in bondage, Pope was born free. She owned a house, land, and had enough financial resources to purchase enslaved people.Now notice that the pro-male collective, here's one, shield for men, they have to debunk nonsense like women couldn't have credit cards. Fully debunked. Someone tried to claim that like in the 1970s, you know, women couldn't own credit cards, or they couldn't have bank accounts, and bullshit like that.
>>539627923And this is way before the 1970s. This is the 1800s. This history is there for people to find out if they want to.Yet the person she chose to buy was not a stranger, it was a man she loved. Notice she loves this man. Now notice, guys, that a male plantation owner, if he purchases a wife, they claim he doesn't love her, that she's just property of his, and he's taking advantage of her.But when a woman does it, well, she loves him, right? At the time, slavery did not simply deny people their freedom. It also denied them control over their families. An enslaved husband and a free wife could be separated at any moment if this owner decided to sell him.To prevent this from happening, the free Black Americans purchased their spouses or children legally, becoming their owners in order to keep their families together. But they didn't have to be owners for long. I mean, we all know that slave owners were free to free their slaves.In other words, this woman Dilsey here, Hope, she could have freed her man and be on equal terms with him. He couldn't become a citizen still, right? But they could have had a much more equal relationship. She didn't free him, though, because this woman wanted to own this man.She wanted power over him. This wasn't a tragedy whatsoever. Now, she bought her enslaved husband so they could remain together under a legal system that refused to recognize them as equals.Again, she could have freed him, right? Although she legally owned him, historical accounts suggested she hired him out for work. Sounds to me like a typical married relationship. The woman stays at home and the man goes out to work, right? Then tragedy struck.
>>539627963See, this is something that happened to her. And this is a tragedy. This isn't her being, you know, a disgusting slave owner.This is a tragedy, guys. And she's not responsible, right? Not because of the law, but because of human emotion. See, this woman who sold this man, when she does it, she's not treating him as an object, right? It's because she's a victim of mere human emotion.You know, owning people and selling them like property, that's just humanity, guys. Now, this is why I get ticked off when guys say, you know, women, they avoid accountability. No, people don't hold women accountable.Whoever wrote this article is not holding this disgusting slave owner accountable for her actions, right? According to historical accounts, the couple had serious disagreement. In anger, Dilsey sold her husband to a white neighbor. It was a decision that would change both their lives forever.No, it changed his life, not hers. She was still a free woman. She was still a landowner.She was fine. I'll tell you what actually changed. Right now on YouTube, you can find cases where women call the cops on their boyfriends or their husbands.Then they get jailed. Then they regret it. These women suffered consequences.Pope did not. And by the way, this also explains why so many men in the past wanted to keep women out of positions of power. Because in order to hold leadership, right, you have to be able to consider people beyond your personal inner circle.You've got to think of the other man. And these women don't think of long-term consequences. They don't think of their man.They just know that they're angry now and something's going to be done. And that's what happened here in the modern day, right? These women get into arguments with their man, and then they call up the police to punish him. Then they regret it.Matter of fact, in this one, the woman tries to deny it, right?
>>539627923Anon, what is your end goal? What faction do you support?
>>539628007Because the police were just there as a threat to the man, right, to get him in line. Once they showed up, she said, uh-oh, I just wanted this argument to end in my favor. I didn't necessarily want consequences, right? Let me just bring up just an example. Now, I know this is a fictional example, right, okay? But here is the story of King Arthur, which someone catches Guinevere fooling around with his best friend, Lancelot. And it's a crime.You can't fool around on the king. Now, on a personal level, Arthur didn't want to punish them. Lancelot was his best friend.Guinevere was his wife that he loved. He didn't want them to get hurt. But as a king, he had to put his personal feelings aside.Again, I know this is a fictional example, but I suspect we'll find real-life examples of men in politics. Like, for example, cops who have to, like, arrest their daughters, for example, after they committed, like, shoplifting. Or they were found drunk while driving, right? Here's a good example in real life.Cops' daughter gets arrested for DWI, right? Now, her father, he's got to sit there and just accept this. On a personal level, he'd probably like to let her go. But as an officer of the law, he has to be willing to say, no, this little girl of mine has to get punished, right? There's the real life, okay? Now, again, this woman's in charge of this man's life.He's her property. She gets angry, and she's going to make him pay. Doesn't matter what the future consequences are, right? After time had passed, she regretted what she had done.She attempted to buy him back. To reunite family, she had a broken heart. Now, guys, these white male plantation owners, why do we assume that they don't get attached to the black women they bang? Like, what's the propaganda? That these white plantation owners, these guys, they have a black male harem, and they just use these women for sex, right? And there's no love or attachment or fondness.
>>539628052Of course it actually happens. Matter of fact, he might love one of his black slaves over his white wife, who doesn't respect him and walks around the mansion like she's the queen of the place. But that's not how men are painted.When men are the slave owners, they just see women as property, and they use them and toss them aside. Notice what happens when the woman takes on that role. All of a sudden, she's in love.She just made a mistake. Her enslavement of a man is just human emotions, man. The story of Dilsey Pope is often cited as one of slavery's harshest realities.Even free black Americans who owned property could not escape the legal system. See, the legal system made her slave sell her man off, right? It made her do that. Well, some purchased loved ones to protect them.Those same laws also gave them the legal power to make decisions with devastating consequences. Well, yeah, that's what ownership is. That's what being a property is.And by the way, guys, here's another thing. You guys know that if a man hires a sex worker, a willing sex worker, and offers her a lift to a location, that's considered trafficking, right? Willing women who engage in paid sex, if they're driven around, that's considered trafficking. But this woman who actually sold a man as property, well, you see, she's not a slave owner.She's just a woman with a broken heart. Because the records from the period are limited, historians cannot verify every detail surrounding Pope's relationship or the argument that led to the sale. Who cares what the argument was? And we know what the relationship was.The relationship was owner and slave. That's what the relationship was. And notice when men bang their slaves, they're considered rapists.
>>539628083But this woman who banged her slave, she's not a rapist, is she, guys? She's a woman with a broken heart. However, the central account has appeared in historical writings of free black slave owners, holders, and continues to be discussed in an example of moral and legal contradictions created by slavery. See, hey, see, it's the system that made her do what she did.There's contradiction here. There's no contradiction here. What we see here, this woman is a slave owner.Or she was one. She's not a liability. She was a slave owner.She bought a man as property. She treated him like property. And she's no better than any white male slave owner out there.But this disgusting article is, well, it's not disgusting because it actually gives the facts, but it's the way it frames this woman. It's trying to frame this slaver as a victim of the system. By its own admission, this woman wasn't forced to do anything.Anyway, we've called out the double standards, and we're going to end it here.>>539628047VEGANISM END SPECIESISM
