      Might Sum up what the slaves who may have wanted sympathy wanted to, , or even just what the house slaves wanted to say, but for many slaves, I don't think words came to mind when they were watching their peers, women, men, and children get hung, raped, and harrassed. It's probably more like escape and murder.

    That is untrue. The will said that HIS slave were to be freed. Over half the slaves at Mount Vernon belonged to Mrs Washington and her kids (grandkids) via her first husband's will. GW did not free those slaves. He would have had to buy them from the Custis family to free them. Mrs. W never freed her own slaves which meant that the families the slaves made together were torn a part when GW's slaves were freed. In his will, he acknowledged this would happen and he was deeply troubled by it.

    • @elle-iza
      @elle-iza 5 років тому +66

      I see it like this: Being ignorant (from latin 'ignorare' = to not know, not being aware of something) isn't a character flaw itself, at least if it's not because you just don't care. Some people grew up in ignorant, indifferent homes and surroundings, got shut up and ridiculed from an early age. Sometimes a nice, empathetic answer can cause a whole avalanche of questioning and opening up to the world.
      Sure, some people ask questions they could answer for themselves if they'd think things through. But critical thinking isn't something, that comes natural to everybody.

Empathy and ethical, pleasant behaviour I teach them at home. The same way as I have been taught. But not everyone has a parent who has the knowledge, empathy and whatnot, so some people WE have to teach as a society. And you can b'day only do that with patience and compassion. If you ridicule them you slam a door shut that may not open again. Offended people don't listen with open ears, ridiculed purple don't think with open minds.

AND undercover cops have been destroying businesses to make protestors look bad. ALSO looters are a whole different group from protestors, they take advantage of what’s happening and steal from stores.
      I’m only in middle school and even I know what’s I happening.
      Oh and don’t watch the news, they like to change things up and make the protestors look bad with false information, especially Fox News and CNN.
      Have a good day/night miss or sir.

    When I got this in my recommended, I thought you looked strikingly familiar. I immediately thought of my class trip to Washington D.C. where we also rode to Mount Vernon (not in D.C., but we still went). Now that I’ve read the description, I’m almost certain that you were the actor answering all those questions while we waited to be let in (or while we were on the tour outside the house, my memory’s a little fuzzy), and I remember some people asking some of these questions almost word-for-word. What stood out to me was how in-character you stayed the entire time. I was totally expecting sarcasm or for you to break character when talking to the adults, but you didn’t. For that, it left an infinitely deeper and more lasting impression on me.
    TL;DR: I’m pretty sure I saw you at Vernon.

    6 years passed and my brother and I discovered the chancel about a slave named Lizzie Mae. And although her intellect and mind are sharp, she has a lot to learn before she's ready to escape the plantation.
    But I believe Lizzie Mae can gain freedom.

    Actually I saw another woman's portrayal of slave and she was less humor and more factual with her show. Truthfully I hope people watch both. Whether you learn through humor or weather you learn through facts we need more reachable and teach-able moments.
