I wonder if Lin Wood sees a different shade of blue when he looks at the sky. He does so appear to be living on a different planet from the rest of us. Wood came out of his crawl space earlier today and did a radio interview wherein he revealed how the former slave plantation that he lives on was a very classy joint as plantations go back in the day. Everyone respected one another, master and slave alike, and none of those beatings and rapes you hear about ever took place. Nope, not on this hallowed ground where Lin Wood hangs his hat. Um, hmm.
Lin Wood, who lives on a former slave plantation, said he is “proud” that he lives on one where the slaves were happy: “The families that owned Tomotley and the slaves treated each other with respect, and they were not abused.” (Audio) pic.twitter.com/E6NnNIcrIi

Donald Trump hasn’t said the realllly quiet part out loud — yet — and that is that he would love to take you back to a time when America was really great and that was when white human beings owned black human beings.
It’s so interesting that Lin Wood has this image of master and slave “respecting” one another. “Boy, fetch my slippers — unless you’re too busy right now with something important and then I’ll go fetch them myself.” “Well, Massah, I was thinking of reworking my stock portfolio today, before I take off on vacation, but I’m so fond of you, I believe I will go fetch your slippers first.” “No, Boy, you don’t have to.” “Please Massah, I insist.”
So, what exactly was the Old South really like? Just one big slumber party? And occasionally some new kids would arrive on the boats from Africa, and extra popcorn was made on those nights? Maybe some pans of fudge?
They didn’t own “slaves”; they owned human beings whom they treated as slaves. This is beyond abuse; it’s a human rights violation. Here’s a partial list of Tomotley’s “property” from 1860. It lists 136 humans, many of them kids, incl a 2 yo. Total value of their humans: $86,339. pic.twitter.com/1q7CGD8c1I

Here’s somebody as tone deaf as Lin Wood.
And look at it this way, the slaves never had to put on an N-95 mask and that’s real freedom, right?
Wood, Powell and Lindell have obviously decided to go w/ the Tucker Carlson defense; no rational person would ever believe anything he says.
Odd isn’t it how come none of the current crop of idiots had ancestors who were share-croppers – I can’t see how the south manage to grow so much cotton when so many lived in mansions looked after by happy people of colour who never had to work in the fields
I’d bet they’d be shocked to find out who their ancestors really were. (Hint: the lords were like 0.1% of the population.)
Evolutionary biologists, using DNA technology, have PROVEN we all owe our ancestry to individuals in East Africa. We all have black parents. What a fucking irony. By the way Darwin was right. When they searched the epicenter of Hiroshima after the bomb, the only living creatures were cockroaches. Guess we know who will win the survival of the fittest contest. And to think, we thought it was us. Tsk tsk tsk. God’s plan. Right? Sure.
I had a friend, since passed away, who was a Black Nationalist. We both used to hang out with his SIL. We’d get together every Friday night and talk over the problems of the world. Two things he said really caught me. We were talking about heritage, and I mentioned my dad’s family being from Germany/Poland. He didn’t know that white people count their fathers, he said that as far as he knew, due to slavery black people just counted their heredity from their mother’s side as the fathers were separated from the family a lot of the time. He was telling me that Africa is the start of civilization, etc. I responded with “Well I guess that mean’s we’re all related, huh?” My girlfriend cracked up, and he sat and thought for a minute and said that yea, he guessed so!
What are now thought of as black and white races did not exist at the point you are referring to. They are much more recent developments related to the environments we encountered as we spread worldwide.
Welp… IDK. Have you ever heard of Eli Whitney? He invented the Cotton Gin that boosts harvesting by 100X. He was also black. Get out of the basement and learn True History. Your CRT Tin-Foil Hat is clouding your True potential.
As a white father to my black daughter, & adopted father to a beautiful 5 y/o black girl, I would love to grab his tongue & stretch it around his neck. Good thing u cowards shoot ur mouth off on the air then run back to ur comfort. B very goddamn careful shooting ur mouth off in person. I just might be possessed by the spirit of one of those slaves looking to get some revenge. I just might beat u senseless or maybe bury u up to ur neck in Chatham County with a cocktail of honey & fire ants. That would still show more mercy than ur ‘benevolent’ slave owners. Fuckhead.
Hell, we’ve got it all wrong. It was like Rochester and Jack Benny dontcha know?
HOW does that wood person even AFFORD anything approaching a house with all walls still standing let alone a “plantation”? Isn’t he supposed to be broke due to his complete inability to practice actual law?
As I’m so stunned, (who knew one could STILL be shocked by ANYTHING a Repub said) I actually looked up this imbecile on wikipedia, and turns out his dad beat his mom to death when imbecile 1 was 16. I’m gonna assume that his dad did so “respectfully” and mom just said “oh, you wish to beat me to death, well I respect that” and off they went.
What a fucking numbskull!
He is up there with Chip Roy and Louie Gohmert.
Wow!
Just…. WOW!!!!
