This I Believe
I believe that all slaves should be freed. I know that blacks and whites would never be treated equal, but I think the slaves deserve to be free. Blacks are humans, just like whites, and deserve to be treated that way. I’m not asking for the discrimination to end (because I know that won’t happen) but what I am asking for, is for everyone to have freedom.
I believe in this so much because I used to be a slave. Even though I escaped, technically I am still counted as a slave. Most slaves, were not as fortunate to be able to escape as I was. After the escape, I helped more slaves, which got me in more trouble. I was never caught but wanted signs with my face on them, were plastered everywhere. I shouldn’t be punished for standing up in what I believe in, because I was helping the others of my kind.
If it were up to me, I would put the whites in slavery so they would know what it was like with very little rest, food, and water. After doing that, I think that the still living whites, would realize what it’s like to live in the shoes of a black person.
The whites have no reason to make the blacks slaves. Just because we are black, doesn’t mean that we should be treated like animals. Our skin may be a different color, but I believe we have every right to be free.
