Adopting black children to make use of as slaves?
Uhhh…?
Based mostly?
A rich white West Virginia couple pressured their adopted black youngsters to work as slaves and sleep in a barn, in line with disturbing costs.
I’m not disturbed by that and don’t admire the editorializing, Submit.
Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, pleaded not responsible to greater than a dozen new costs on Tuesday after two teenagers had been discovered locked in a crumbling shed in ratty clothes, MetroNews reported.
Lantz and Whitefeather had been first arrested in October after a wellness verify led to the invention of the couple’s 5 adopted youngsters — aged 6, 9, 11, 14 and 16 — dwelling in deplorable circumstances on their Sissonville property.
Had been they actually deplorable?
As a result of I’ve studied this complete slavery factor, and located “slave abuse” to be a hoax. It’s additionally illogical to abuse your individual property.
Such as you suppose a Roomba is kinda like a robotic slave, form of, proper?
In the event you discovered somebody beating and in any other case abusing their Roomba, you’d suppose that individual was insane.
So I might really want proof that this barn that these slaves had been saved in was “deplorable” and never only a regular slave barn.
Certain as hell appears to be like like a normal-ass slave barn to me.
The indictment, which Kanawha County Circuit Choose Maryclaire Akers stated was one of many worst she’s ever seen, alleges that the adopted youngsters had been pressured to work on the couple’s farmland due to their race.“It alleges human trafficking, human rights violations, the usage of pressured labor,” Akers informed the courtroom.
“Human rights violations particular to the truth that these youngsters had been focused due to their race they usually had been used principally as slaves from what the indictment alleges.”
It seems like they had been actually used as slaves.
Apparently that’s unlawful now too, like all the things else.
The couple faces quite a few costs, together with human trafficking of a minor little one, use of a minor little one in pressured labor and little one neglect creating substantial threat of great bodily harm or demise.Whitefeather and Lantz had been arrested after a baby welfare name by a neighbor claimed two youngsters had been being locked in a shed on the couple’s Sissonville residence, in line with a courtroom submitting, WCHS reported.
“Neighbors additionally reported that the youngsters had been pressured to carry out farm labor and weren’t permitted contained in the residence,” the submitting said.
Police discovered a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old lady locked within the shed. Inside was a small RV porta-potty however no lights or operating water. One of many teenagers informed police they’d been locked within the barn for 12 hours once they had been final fed.
The 2 stated the couple pressured them to sleep on the concrete flooring with none mattresses. They each wore soiled garments and smelled like physique odor, police famous, in line with the submitting.
Oh, the blacks had been sporting soiled garments and stank?
Have to be white individuals’s fault.
Certain, positive – that is smart.
At this level, you’d suppose we might all simply agree that abolishing slavery was a mistake. All the outcomes have been detrimental.
Like severely, what constructive end result has resulted from the releasing of the slaves?
Identify one factor.
Thomas Sowell?
Not an argument.
He might have written these books in his slave shed in-between shifts on the farm.
Underneath slavery, blacks had been producing members of society. Additionally they had wholesome, Christian households. If the issue was that they had been abused (there’s no proof of that), then simply carry again slavery however make it unlawful to abuse them. That looks like a good compromise with the libs.
