Slavery wasn't slavery

There's a man who I call DeSatan
From Florida to Sunshine State 
who said that slavery for Black folks in America 
was beneficial and great. 
they were taught skills on how to be 
better productive slaves 
and those beatings, rapes and lynchings 
was simply how white folks behave
no need for us to get bent out of shape
we just need to realize 
to that to have been a slave in America 
was considered an enormous prize 
and to add insult to injury.
we have a few token Blacks 
who co-signed that bull 
as some historical fact

DeSatan in my opinion,
is simply a Nazi fascist prick 
who tends to overcompensate 
as he probably has a little dick
an angry and bitter man 
who on divisiveness firmly stands
to go pick a fight with the Disney corporation, 
your state's largest employer is beyond dumb
and if the company vacates your state, 
where will all that lost revenue now come from?

slavery was an abomination 
America's most heinous sin 
and if we don't stay diligent, 
they may try to revive it all over again
white nationalist, domestic terrorists 
and the MAGA Supreme 
will try to tell you that slavery 
wasn't what it seemed

generational chattel 
never an opportunity to be free
born into captivity, no chance of liberty 
degraded, debased and worked
like the lowliest of dogs
hell, they had more respect 
for their cattle, horses, pigs and hogs 
slaves were caned, whipped and mutilated 
for the smallest offense
Yet the slave owners never showed any empathy, 
no consideration and no penitence
slaves were viewed as 3/5 of a human being 
who only deserve endless and senseless beatings 
I can't imagine nor see any benefit in all of that 
and for anyone to say otherwise. It's just bull crap 

slavery wasn't slavery. 
It was involuntary relocation
a training program to teach African Americans.
a viable vocation 
slavery wasn't slavery
it was an inconvenience ideology
a social experiment that white folk in America 
don't believe warrants an apology 
it was what it was and Black folks need to let it go 
as slavery wasn't slavery because white folks say so
