Listen to what Henry Barry said in 1832

[shakazooluu]

Henry Barry a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, who said on January 20, 1832, 175 years ago

"Pass as severe laws as you will to keep these unfortunate creatures in ignorance. It is in vain unless you can extinguish that spark of intellect which God has given them. Sir, we have as far as possible closed every avenue by which light may enter their minds. We only have to go one step further to extinguish their capacity to see the light and our work will be completed. And they would then be reduced to the level of the beasts of the field and we should be safe. Sir, a death struggle must come between the two classes or races in which one or the other will be extinguished forever.”


What do you think about this?

Well that's pretty blatant. Got a source?

A context would be nice for sure as well as a source.
If someone cut out a few sentences of a statement I have given, I am sure it could be made to seem evil as well.

Too be honest with you i heard it in a speech from Louis Farrakhan, but since his information may be perverted i dont know how to pinpoint its true source. The only thing i was able to find on this dude was his family history from google. But i think its more in reference to the indentured slaves of that time.

Cheers! I'll see if I can find it somewhere in a bit.

Brothers and Sisters, when Elijah Muhammad came among us, he taught what you could call a “Black Theology.” A lot of people were offended by that; turned off by that. In the Muslim world, they were angry. They said, “Islam does not teach color. What’s wrong with you people?” But they don’t know what happened to the Black people of America.

While standing before the Virginia House of Delegates on January 20, 1832, Mr. Henry Berry, Esq., made it clear what was needed to produce and maintain the condition of slavery. He said: “Pass as severe laws as you will to keep these unfortunate creatures in ignorance, it is in vain, unless you can extinguish that spark of intellect which God has given them. Sir, we have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light might enter their minds. We have only to go one step further—to extinguish the capacity to see the light—and our work will be completed. They would then be reduced to the level of the beasts of the field, and we should be safe… .”

And he said, “If they continue along that line,” Black people would be in a condition that we could never come out of.

Black people want to do something for self, but there’s something missing. If something is missing, then my question to you is: “Don’t we [Black people] need somebody to address us and our concerns? To raise us, reform us, transform us and make us again what God created us to be?
