Indentured White Servants Were Treated Worse than Black Slaves in the West Indies

[MNW67]

Each morning I would offer them coffee on our private deck and told them to take it easy, They enjoyed their stay with us as we treat them well and gave them large tips and because of this they would do anything for us, I used to get hot chocalates made by them at 3am when I got back from the bars. A lot of people treat them badly and it was always the toffee nosed twerps who didnt respect them.

That's usual.

My point being that these are no different to slaves back in thed day.

I disagree. But I also see your point.

That's usual.

On an evening we used to go to the posh dining for dinner, the waiting staff were brilliant, hard working and wanting to please. Lena and I always had time for them and appreciated their service, some toffe nosed twerps were snappping their fingers at them or grabbing their arms as they walked past their tables. Never heard any of them thank them or talk to them. The attitude of some people is horrendous and so anyone slating off the slave trade from decades ago only have to look around them now.

You need to think on...

African-Americans and Caribbeans belong to a different species from those of white, European ancestry

He (Simon Webb) didn't quite say that; he said that he wonders if the different races of humans are actually different species; and states, quite reasonably, that modern science would never research such a theory for fear of being termed racist.

He points out that there are several different species of dog, of horse, of cat etc, so why only one species of human?
