As a Bible following white Christian, I believe that blacks should be our slaves.

Is Bribe-Taking Nigger Clarence Thomas Having A Fag Love Affair With
Harlan Crow?


Harlan's been buying all kinds of gifts, probably because Clarence Thomas gives good head to old, white men. Good to see he's sucking dick.

Harlan Crow Trips: ProPublica first reported in 2023 that Thomas had for
years accepted trips from GOP megadonor and developer Harlan Crow,
including on his private jet and superyacht, without disclosing them on financial disclosures as federal law requires.

Senate Findings On Harlan Crow: Though Thomas has now started disclosing
some of his trips with Crow on his financial disclosure forms, claiming he
was not previously obligated to report them, the Senate Judiciary Committee and now the Senate Finance Committee have uncovered additional undisclosed travel as part of investigations into Thomasuincluding spending time with
Crow in Russiauand Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the Finance Committee chair, alleged in August Crow is improperly claiming his yacht as a for-profit business in order to avoid paying taxes on it.

Harlan Crow Tuition: ProPublica reported in May 2023 Crow also paid two
years of tuition for Thomas' grandnephew Mark Martin, whom the justice has custody of, to attend two private schools in the 2000s, which cost $6,000
per month at one of the schools and were similarly not disclosedueven as Thomas did disclose a tuition payment a different friend made years
earlier.

Harlan Crow Real Estate: Thomas and his family also sold a string of properties in Savannah, Georgia, to Crow in 2014 without disclosing that as required, ProPublica reportsuincluding the home where his mother still livesuwhich Crow told the publication he purchased so he could eventually build a museum dedicated to the justice.

RV Loan Forgiven: Thomas never repaid a "substantial portion" of a $267,230 loan from wealthy friend Anthony Welters, which he used to purchase a
luxury RV, a Senate Finance Committee investigation found, raising
questions about whether the loan was properly reported on his taxes. If
Thomas never paid the principal on the loan, it would have created a "significant amount of taxable income," the committee noted, which wasn't reported on his financial disclosure to the court in 2008, the year Welker said the loan was "satisfied."

Koch Network Summits: Thomas attended at least two donor summits for the
Koch networkuthe right-wing political organization founded by billionaire brothers Charles and David Kochuand participated in a dinner with high-
level donors, without disclosing his appearance at the summits or a private jet trip he took to and from the event in 2018, ProPublica reported in September.

Done a DNA test to confirm your rCLwhitenessrCY? Only there was a lot of interbreeding going on between slaves and slaveowners, donrCOt you know.
Lots of folks who thought they were rCLwhiterCY found out that they had a little bit of slave ancestry here and there ... ideology gets trumped
by reality, yet again!

It does mean that gay parents could conceive.

There's a very compelling and strong argument for white American Christians
to own black slaves. President Trump is doing a good job at ridding our history of leftist antislavery propaganda and lies, so now is the time to bring it back.

The Southern Argument for Slavery

Southern slaveholders often used biblical passages to justify slavery.

Those who defended slavery rose to the challenge set forth by the Abolitionists. The defenders of slavery included economics, history,
religion, legality, social good, and even humanitarianism, to further their arguments.

Defenders of slavery argued that the sudden end to the slave economy would have had a profound and killing economic impact in the South where reliance
on slave labor was the foundation of their economy. The cotton economy
would collapse. The tobacco crop would dry in the fields. Rice would cease being profitable.

Defenders of slavery argued that if all the slaves were freed, there would
be widespread unemployment and chaos. This would lead to uprisings,
bloodshed, and anarchy. They pointed to the mob's "rule of terror" during
the French Revolution and argued for the continuation of the status quo,
which was providing for affluence and stability for the slaveholding class
and for all free people who enjoyed the bounty of the slave society.
The Negro's Place in Nature
Some slaveholders believed that African Americans were biologically
inferior to their masters. During the 1800s, this arguement was taken quite seriously, even in scientific circles.

Defenders of slavery argued that slavery had existed throughout history and was the natural state of mankind. The Greeks had slaves, the Romans had slaves, and the English had slavery until very recently.

Defenders of slavery noted that in the Bible, Abraham had slaves. They
point to the Ten Commandments, noting that "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, ... nor his manservant, nor his maidservant." In the New Testament, Paul returned a runaway slave, Philemon, to his master, and, although slavery was widespread throughout the Roman world, Jesus never
spoke out against it.

Defenders of slavery turned to the courts, who had ruled, with the Dred
Scott Decision, that all blacks u not just slaves u had no legal standing
as persons in our courts u they were property, and the Constitution
protected slave-holders' rights to their property.

Defenders of slavery argued that the institution was divine, and that it brought Christianity to the heathen from across the ocean. Slavery was, according to this argument, a good thing for the enslaved. John C. Calhoun said, "Never before has the black race of Central Africa, from the dawn of history to the present day, attained a condition so civilized and so
improved, not only physically, but morally and intellectually."

Defenders of slavery argued that by comparison with the poor of Europe and
the workers in the Northern states, that slaves were better cared for. They said that their owners would protect and assist them when they were sick
and aged, unlike those who, once fired from their work, were left to fend helplessly for themselves.

James Thornwell, a minister, wrote in 1860, "The parties in this conflict
are not merely Abolitionists and slaveholders, they are Atheists,
Socialists, Communists, Red Republicans, Jacobins on the one side and the friends of order and regulated freedom on the other."
