Charlamagne tha GodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Okay? She developed a term I read about years ago, and the term is post-traumatic slave syndrome, and it's a theory that describes multi-generational, psychological, and behavioral effects of centuries of chattel slavery, followed by continuing oppression and racism.
Charlamagne tha GodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
See, people don't ever discuss that part, and that's where Da Vinci's comments really fall short.

When you say white people enslaved white people, too, what exactly are we talking about? Because if we're discussing Black Americans, then let's discuss America, not what happened globally around the world, okay? The slavery Black people experienced here wasn't simply somebody making somebody else work against their will, okay? The white indentured servitude I think you're referencing was a contract-based system, okay, not racial, uh, hereditary chattel slavery.
