Animal Farm II

"Now comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. No animal in America knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. No animal in America is free. The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth..."

It all started with knowing that Blacks were once considered to be only 3/5 of a human, which came about during the African Slave Trade. This was set up by the white policymakers of the time because they did not want us kidnapped Africans to have the same civil rights as them and therefore, treat us like animals until we are no longer of use to them. The situation is the same as it was then even after the 13^th Amendment that "set Black people free." You can see that with the Diallo murder case of 2000 just how much this country cares about the darker ingredients of the American melting pot. And despite that the Constitution says different, we are NOT FREE and are actually worse of than we were 50 years ago.

"... we get a cold pen to sleep in and crumbs to fill our stomachs. We still are shown as [vicious] animals to this day even though they have domesticated us. And whenever we try to provide a better life for our fellow animals, we get terrorized."

Back then we had to take all the menial jobs such as cooks, janitors, mammies/ pappies, doormen etc. because the country was so racially-segregated. We had to take those jobs back then to survive and make ends meet. This is no longer the case.
