A newly discovered letter from a freed former slave to his onetime master is creating a buzz. Letters of Note explains that in August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee wrote to his former slave Jourdan Anderson, requesting that Jourdan return to work on his farm.

reparations!!stoopid looser libs....

Interesting how well educated this former slave seems to be. Sounds though that he doesn't consider his labor as a slave to be given freely which is as it should have been.

Keep in mind Danni that was before Democrats started dictating and offering free shit.

Awesome letter...

Thanks Danni

Many, not all or even most, but many slaves were treated quite well. The closer to the house they worked, the better they were treated to the point that nannies were often considered members of the family.

Remember, to the average Southerner, slaves were an investment and vital to their livelihood as farmers. Injured or sick slaves couldn't work.

you truly are an idiot kbm.. maybe some free shit would make you smarter.

Perhaps more relevant is the fact that it was against the law in most parts of the South to teach a slave to read.

Yea, nothing makes an activity more desirable than banning it.

Yes, how stupid to expect a wage for your labor. Oh, I forgot, slavery is the perfect end result of fee-market labor that the cons love so much.

"Yea, nothing makes an activity more desirable than banning it."

Good point, to an uneducated slave the value of education was probably pretty vague, but since it was banned it gave it "value" that even the uneducated would have recognized.

Looking at standardized test scores by race, it appears that is still our national policy.

Looking at standardized test scores by race

Look at at standardized test scores by income. Then look at income by "race". You will find that non-blacks fare far better, only because blacks have lower net income.

Look at standardized test scores by whether the test-taker is a brown-skinned southeast Asian. The same data will show you that lilly-white "Americans" fare worse than "dirty brown folk".

E Pliable Anus is lucky to clean the floor of my bathroom. More likely, he spends what little money he has on half-pints of liquor to numb himself to the utter worthlessness of his existence.

brown-skinned southeast Asian

Dr. Likesdick is wrong once again. Had you said "East Asian" as opposed to Southeast Asian, you would have been correct but that would invalidate your point on brown skin. Read the Bell Curve - it refutes your point with actual test scores. Look at military ASVAB test results and you will also see your point refuted. Yes, test scores do have a relation to income but test scores also have a correlation to race even accounting for income levels. Of course, your PC mind wants to make up your own facts when the truth destroys your world view but it just makes you look pathetic. Have a nice day Dr. Likesdick.

Read the Bell Curve

Way to advertise your incompetence. The Bell Curve is one of the 20th century's most thoroughly-refuted pieces of intellectual rubbish.

I'm not surprised you defend its validity, though, considering that your pathetically stupid ass has spent hours denying the existence of gravity.

Please, jacque, grace me with another tour-de-force in human stupidity. I'm giving you the rope. All you have to do is hang yourself with it.

Please show me where I denied the existence of gravity....oh, that's right likesdick, you can't. I do believe that the theory of relativity is wrong - CERN has added greatly to that belief recently when they disproved Einstein's central tenet on the speed of light. You don't like it when your world is refuted by facts - I know, relativity and PC beliefs are a religion for you and I am a pagan for bringing truth. Well, Dr. Likesdick, tuff titties. The truth is the truth regardless of how much you wish it wasn't.

I do believe that the theory of relativity is wrong

So you deny decades of empirical evidence to the contrary, and wonder why you're considered a fucking idiot... priceless.

It only takes 1 observation to prove the whole thing is a load of bullshit and CERN did that. In addition, we have countless experiments trying to show effects of the theory that turn up blank - Gravity Probe B for instance. There is much more evidence disproving relativity than supporting it - sorry, your religion is as dumb as the mormons....and you didn't even get magic underwear.

It only takes 1 observation to prove the whole thing is a load of bullshit and CERN did that.

The recent CERN obsevations concern only special relativity, and there are numerous explanations that account for the supposed deviation in neutrino velocity. Apparently you're too fucking stupid to understand the significance of this fact. Not that it matters... your main beef seems to concern one specific aspect of general relativity. Oh, and did I mention that it was addressed decades ago?

Gravity Probe B for instance

Gravity Probe B unambiguously measured the spacetime curvature predicted by general relativity, as had countless other experiments before it. Its primary mission - evaluation of the frame-dragging effect - was also successful.

All that remains to be done is describe the frame-dragging effect with greater precision. It is, after all, a secondary prediction of GR so miniscule that our best instruments can barely detect it.

Ever wonder why you're considered a fucking moron, jacque? It might have to do with abject denial of fact.

Okay Likesdick... speed of light not a limit means Einstein was wrong - spin it any way you want. However, I would demand the magic underwear if I were you.

Yeah, that would explain: "Gravity Probe B scores 'F' in NASA review" (www.newscientist.com). After years of data collection, the result was that the intended effects are not seen. So, funding was going to be cut. Now, the 'scientists' polish the data turd reminiscent of global warming data and claim that they 'proved' something - all with exactly the same data set they had for 10 years. This was an utter and complete failure - not because of manufacturability issues - but because the effects simply don't exist.

BTW, I am pretty sure you are secretly hoping CERN is right so you can go back in time and stop your past self from changing your handle to Dr. Likesdick...

"spin it any way you want."

I see jack shit still doesn't have a fucking clue.
What an ignorant fuck.

It's a shitty data analysis from one group most of the lab won't even sign off on. Nobody buys it, except the dismally ignorant rubes.
Jack shit couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.

Nobody buys it, but nobody can seem to disprove it either. In fact, the experiment was repeated controlling for some of the whiner's complaints - and it found the same damn thing. Must hurt to be a 2 time loser backing both Einstein and Global Warming - huh Zit?

www.guardian.co.uk
The scientists who appeared to have found in September that certain subatomic particles can travel faster than light have ruled out one potential source of error in their measurements after completing a second, fine-tuned version of their experiment.

Their results, posted on the ArXiv preprint server on Friday morning and submitted for peer review in the Journal of High Energy Physics, confirmed earlier measurements that neutrinos, sent through the ground from Cern near Geneva to the Gran Sasso lab in Italy 450 miles (720km) away seemed to travel faster than light.

The team at the INFN-Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy said they had measured faster-than-light speeds in neutrinos sent from Cern, 730km away.

Now a different team at the same lab reports findings that, they say, cast doubt on that surprising result.

The Icarus team at Gran Sasso says that because the neutrinos sent from Cern do not appear to lose energy on their journey, they must not have exceeded the speed of light along the way.

Speedy neutrino mystery likely solved, relativity safe after all

Always fun to drop by and laugh at the ignorant, stupid 'tards.

If Jack Shit were even remotely capable of actually reading the original paper it would immediately and obviously be seen to be wrong. I bet he bought into cold fusion, too.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Idiot.

Zit, they have redone the experiment and got the same results. Take my advice, make them give you magic underwear.

Awww, I didn't know you cared Dr_Iceprick. How touching. And at the speed of light no less. Well, not anymore....

Isn't it cute when ZIT thinks science is wrong when it disproves his own "beliefs"? Someone needs to make sure his guns are taken away when the MMGW religion goes the way of the Roman Gods.

Did that lame ass comment sound that stupid in your head before you typed it or did it actually seem cool or original at the time?

This guy knew in 1865 what his labor was worth, but today according to the libs, people are too stupid to negotiate their own wages. This guy would think that modern liberals have lost it.

I heard Obama is looking to collect taxes on those back wages so this negro could pay his fair share.

Ooh, one I found and obtained! For sci-fi you might enjoy reading Hothouse by Brian Aldiss.

On topic: Wow, what an incredibly witty find. These letters should go on permanent display at Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

Complementing the severely retarded will get you nowhere.

LOL!

"This guy knew in 1865 what his labor was worth, but today according to the libs, people are too stupid to negotiate their own wages." ONe little thing dumbass, this guy didn't collect. That's what unions do for you. If all the available labor would have been organized the plantation owner would have been forced to pay decent wages. Since this fellow was alone he collected nothing.

Zit, you linked to a report that you obviously did not read or understand. If you had, you would have noticed the publish date and compared that to the retest date from CERN. If you had done even that much reading/comprehension vs. blindly pasting links trying to pretend that you have read the works, you would not have looked like such an idiot. As it is, your link is out of date and you have been exposed as the dumbass you truly are (I really didn't need to point that out as it is nearly a daily occurrence here). At this point, I don't even believe that you have a background in science - I think your cut and paste science links are just part of your internet persona. I think you were probably the original OWS - homeless, jobless, uneducated, no future - yet feel that you are smarter than everyone else. Well, you got exposed and owned on here enough times that no one buys it anymore. Time to switch names like Dr. Likesdick and run from your dismal past. You are an idiot.

I laughed when I read this, but not for the premise. I kept seeing a few things and they struck me funny:
1) The Slave Union
2) "this guy didn't collect. That's what unions do for you" - yep, they collect alright!!
3) "If all the available labor would have been organized the plantation owner would have been forced to pay decent wages" - no..he would have beaten them, killed them, or sold them. It's brutal, but it's the truth.

What a wonderful letter.

It matters not if this gentleman constructed the letter himself or dictated it to and was assisted by someone much better educated than himself.
The fact that he allowed his name to be attached to the letter shows a measure of class rarely seen.

The skeptic in me wonders about the fact that it might have been a hoax of some kind but the optimist in me hopes that it was real.

"The fact that he allowed his name to be attached to the letter shows a measure of class rarely seen."

The letter was much nicer in in the language that was used than we would see today but make no mistake, it was a giant FUCK YOU to his former owner.

Basically called him a disingenuous thief who is going to hell while charging that the younger men in his family were rapists.

I thought asking for the back wages was much more clever than a simple "fuck off", however.

Danni,
When I was in a union they didn't do a damn thing for me. Except of course deduct their union dues. That only lasted about 9 months because I couldn't deal with the petty politics of the workplace.

Unions don't collect your wages for you either, they negotiate them because liberal suckers are too stupid to do it for themselves.

And if unions are such a good thing why are they going the way of the dinosaurs? It appears that 99% of the people don't want them.

"Unions don't collect your wages for you either, they negotiate them because liberal suckers are too stupid to do it for themselves."

Good luck demanding higher wages if all of your co-workers are negotiating individually. My bet, you'll get a pay cut.
