How I feel about slavery

To be honest, I don't like it. My mom has three maids, and I hate it. We pay them, of course, but I don't like to have people around me all the time judging me and telling me what to do. I'd rather do things myself most of the times. I'd rather live like a pig than have someone staring at me all the time, looking at my clothes, counting my things, etc., especially when they're young. We cannot let them work and think that they don't have a future because that's not true. One of my maid's daughters wanted to be in my house, too, working for me as my maid. She was ready to throw her life away. She would have been the death of me and my family. She simply got used to my family and wanted to hang out. 

I like to have positive people around me. Someone who actually wants to be with me and who believes in what I do. I don't like the idea of forcing someone to work because they're not gonna bless you. You won't be prosperous. You'll feel guilty all the time. It's bad luck. What I wanna see around me is the biggest smile in the world. I love to serve and make myself useful. I'm very productive in a way. I'd rather keep a respectful environment wherever I go.

But we had to bring people back from Africa, ok? We just had to. 

Why? For the sake of the gospel. It just so happens that people from Africa are people very strong-willed and unwilling to change their minds because they never see the point of it. They thought they were animals. They would have killed themselves, but the white folks never gave them to the Devil. Instead, they said: 'We'll make good use of them'  and put them in chains to see if they could be more easily persuaded. I do not feel bad about this part of history, but I'm glad it's over. Now look at Beyoncé and look at me. I do not regret it at all. No way. Things are the way they're supposed to be. They always were. 

In conclusion, years of slavery have actually proven to the people in Africa that they're not animals. They are just like us. For this reason, those who still protest against slavery are actually committing social suicide. They don't know what they're saying. They like to put the blame on others when the fault is theirs (and being a slave is better than going to Hell altogether). White folks were their servants & protectors. And we'd do it again & again. Yeah, I know this seems harsh but can we skip the page just this once and see what happens since we all have the same benefits now? 🙏🏻 We all can put food on the table, and have gas & electricity. We can go to school and have our jobs & salaries. We have the power to anoint ourselves with the power of Christ by reading the Scriptures. Why is that not enough? I don't know what is wrong with this generation. My own father doesn't have all that & doesn't complain as much. But people keep pushing this agenda 'cause they want everybody to be miserable. That's the truth! It is never good enough for them. It's just revolting for me. When will they shut up? I guess the answer to this is NEVER. 👀 I'm not sorry at all for what happened in the past. Why should I be? It is in the past and that's it. There are lots of other things for us to think about now... The fact is that the REAL WORLD has nuances: things we need to make amends for. It has many different shades (at least that's what my life is like). And why would that be different to you?

And what does the Bible say about slavery? 

We have a number of people in the Bible who were actually slaves: we have Joseph, Hebrews in Egypt. Even women and children. I feel like I'm a slave, too, because I don't go out as much. I live my life around my mom. The Bible doesn't condemn the slave masters, but it says the following:

'You were bought and paid for. Don’t become slaves of people. ' (1 Corinthians 7:23)

That means that if you have your freedom, you should enjoy it and don't complain. We're all slaves to some degree:

'Anyone who was a slave when they were called by the Lord has the status of being the Lord’s free person. In the same way, anyone who was a free person when they were called is Christ’s slave. ' (1 Corinthians 7:22)
