In theory, these people had more freedoms than slaves. And they could earn their freedom from servitude

I can’t argue for or against that. All I can say is that applying the morals and ethics of today to people who lived and died 250 years ago does not make them racists by their standards. Just ours.

An indentured servant made the choice to be that and worked off their debt after seven years In the New World. So it’s like apples and you’re full of shit.

I think it’s all the more funny that you may have some great…

Head of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce say what?  Go peddle Jim Crow elsewhere.

Has McConnell angrily gurgled that hollywoods need to stay out of politics or there will be big trouble?

I heard April 56th was the “true” inauguration day

The Georgia film industry rose over the last few decades because of the generous financial breaks the state put in place to draw film makers in.
