The "house-negro" During slavery era in America, there were two kinds of slaves on the plantations. The "house-negro" was a kind of slave who lived in the house with his slave master and 'loved the slave master more than the slave master loved himself'. He wore good cloths given him, out of the master's old belongings. He ate better because he ate leftovers from his master's plates. He lived near the master, in the attic or back of the house but lived near his master. When the master got sick, he says ' what's up boss, we sick?' When the master's house caught fire, he would fight harder to quench the fire, more than his master would. When one of the slaves came to him and say 'let's run away. Separate.' He would say, 'man you are crazy. Where are we gonna get good cloths like this? Where are we gonna live in a house like this?' This slave was institutionalized. On the same plantation, there was the "field-negro". He worked on the plantation to produce crops for the master. He worked from 'can see to can't see.' He dressed in rags, ate whatever the master throws his way and slept in the shacks away from the houses. watched, When the master got sick, he prayed that the master would die. When the master's house caught fire, he prayed for a wind to fan the fire and burn the house down... 'and he hated the master. He was intelligent. When Malcom X, shortly before his death in the 1960s spoke of this, he narrated the true situation of the American ex-slaves then. • •ProBlack✊🏾 BlackPanther🙅🏾♂️ • LIKE & COMMENT, FOLLOW ME @beezwel #naturalhairstyles #black #love #naturephotography #nature #blacklove #blackpeople #africanamerican #blackpower #blackunity #blackbusiness #blackpride #blackandproud #supportblackbusiness #blackowned #melanin #blackentrepreneurs #blacksuccess #blacklivesmatter #life #blackkings #blackmen #blackwealth #blackowned #blackhistory #blackgirl #cute #blackbusinesswomen #vibes #beezwel #pictureoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCZMSWnrp8/?utm_medium=tumblr
