    AFAIK, in 1860 about 20% of families in the slave states owned slaves. Lots of those were probably relatively poor farmers - slaves or no, small farmers in the 19th century weren’t that wealthy. Also, since when does the Christian god condemn entire family lines?

      In the Jewish part of Bible there are passages about inheriting sin as something you need to do something about (e.g. Cain and his lineage). But even there its not straightforward inheritance. With the New Testament in mind the post is even more bogus.

        Generally the sin inheritance thing goes to everyone.

        Not one jot or tiddle of the old law will be gotten rid of until Jesus comes back during end times. So said Jesus. Green text is on point.

      Punishing descendants is absolutely a part of the bible. Women experiencing pain during childbirth is supposedly a punishment for Eve eating the forbidden fruit.

        Shit, if that’s the case, I’m surprised Christians haven’t tried to outlaw epidurals.

        For some biblical figures really far back, yes, but as a punishment for normal (real) people?

        Kinda mad that if you click on his links, he’s citing a very specific translation of the Bible, flip through them and it’s clearly talking about servants as a blessing. Not necessarily slaves. The words in question are עֶ֫בֶד and שִׁפְחָה. Basically every other translation I flipped through rendered this as servants, including the likes of culturally significant ones that Christians draw on for doctrine like the KJV and ESV.

        Is he trying to convince Christians that slave owning is okay or something? 🤣

      Is slavery even forbidden by the bible?

      No its encouraged, as is your daughter marrying her rapist

      Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations

      In the US they do this with Mexicans now but not Canadians… yet.

      Exodus 21:7. says its ok to sell your daughters into slavery

      as examples, working on the Sabbath ??

      Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.

        Probably. Perhaps he’s realized that nepotism is a successful methodology for getting ahead in life. But maybe he should have tried being born into a more wealthy family, instead of blaming others.

    I hear that. My grandfather was descended of German nobility. Nothing major, but he was the son of a prince. To be clear: a complete.nobody even when German nobility was still a thing pre-WW1. After the war, they pretty much abolished all that in a revolution.

    But basically, if I go back four generations, we owned a ‘castle’ somewhere. Meanwhile, I’m solidly in the peasant class.

      Good news, I hear you can probably get a castle for fairly cheap. Only problem is you have to maintain it.

    Oh wait till you hear about my family.

    My family was French Aristocracy that faked their deaths and moved to America to avoid the French Revolution

    Then they owned slaves, but the deeds to their plantations and land and shit were burned in a slave revolt and they lost it all.

    Then they helped found the Klan and became poor white trash…

    We could have been rich and not lived in America. But no we had to become poor AND racist.

    You know, often in these green text posts I have a takeaway that at least attempts sympathy toward the anon.

    Fuckin nope, not here.

    I would say its so hilariously pathetic that its a bit, but I’ve met people that are unironically like this.

    Anon, you’re only alive because Sherman didn’t finish the job.

    He should have.

    Here, a song for you before you meet your God:

    In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, while God is marching on.

    Oh, imagine a world where that describes current day ‘Republican Jesus’.

    My idea of a ‘white man’s burden’ is that its our job to rid the planet of all these melanin deprived slavers and ‘ante bellum nostalgics’.

    Its really the least we could do, at this point.

    • Donkter@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I thought it was a joke. Rephrase it a bit and it would be a funny standup routine. I guess anon should have emphasized that they didn’t support slavery (if they did) but it is a funny concept to ask how they fumbled the bag so hard.

      source
      • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Well, if they’d actually made clear that they are, you know, ashamed of the family history, that they are lamenting having basically ‘fallen’ from… that’d be one thing.

        But, I really have met people who are unironically this pissy about how their family used to be wealthier, slave owners.

        … and that… … that brings out the fire and brimstone that apparently runs through my blood.

        I’d done a massive mapping out of as much of my lineage as I could, maybe a month or so ago.

        But I hadn’t actually looked too far into much of the details.

        So ironically, I guess I have anon to thank for spurring me to look further into that, entirely to be able to make a heritage based rebuttal to slavery, out of spite.

    Be family

    Need Slaves

    No money

    Remeber slaves are literally slaves and cost nothing

    Get slaves

    I don’t think you have to be rich to own slaves.

      If you’re talking about the US, you are incredibly misinformed. Selling slaves for money was an insanely lucrative business. It’s not called “The Transatlantic Slave Here You Can Just Have Some”

    Any wealth inheritance has been divided amongst an unknown number of heirs for the last, what 5 generations? 7? That shit’s long gone.

    • rumschlumpel@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Wealth has a way of multiplying, though. Assuming the family is above a certain threshold of wealth, second sons still receive an education and typically get lucrative jobs, expensive gifts etc. that should set them up well.

      • Etterra@discuss.online ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        It’s not an absolute. Trust-fund kiddies frequently have no idea how to keep that money growing. Bad investments, frivolous spending, out of control vices and addictions, lawsuits, bribing the law, continuing to cling to an extravagant lifestyle on inadequate funds, divorces, etc. It’s obviously not an absolute, but generally I think the more generations pass the more likely any one of them is gonna end up broke.
