How common were whippings? How common was branding? Did the slave who had proven his dilligence, honesty and trustworthiness — and I think it would be racist to say that slaves were not generally so — really have to face such treatments? I doubt it.

If this suggestion about the enslaved blacks who dared not to be “good slaves” is racist, then the only logical conclusion is that those slaves were bad persons, and the only good enslaved blacks were those who were well-adjusted slaves.

What a fuckhead.
