  46.  @charlesstevensEnki  My bad. I got it. To call them “hostile” from being enslaved. if I were enslaved, I imagine I would be pretty hostile toward my enslaver. But if I were to out live my enslaver, unless someone had taken his/her place as enslaver, there would be no one left to be hostile to. It’s only natural to have anger, hostility, even rage toward the people who wrong us. Ideally, it is channeled into protest and putting one’s time and energy into ensuring that ‘wrong’ doesn’t happen again to anyone. There is no better example, on par perhaps in India during Ghandi’s time, where injustice has been conquered and the fight for equality succeed than the black American struggle. It is truly remarkable in its achievement. But those periods in history and those struggles had the winds of change at their tails. A scientific revolution was going on. The study of genetics was exploding and undermining, if not all out refuting, the foundation and justification of discrimination. In this country, two World Wars had forced people out of their myopic comfort zones and allowed people to discover for themselves the error in those beliefs that supported discrimination. Those periods were also marked by extraordinary leaders, (Ghandi and MLK among so many others) who brought people together and, at great self sacrifice, championed their cause to success. In other words, THEY WON! Do slaves have hostility toward their enslavers? I would think so. But how is that hostility warranted by the great, great, great grandchildren of those slaves, toward 1) the great great great grandchildren of the enslavers, 2) all people who “look like” them whose families didn’t come here until after slavery was ended in this country and had no part of it, and 3) who have never done anything to you, nor you to them?? Hostility can be inherited, but as a curse, especially as it grows further from its purpose.
