Sweet yet Slavery Sunday

Today was deemed a relaxation day and I was able to rest for quite a while :D

I also watched a movie about slavery called Goodbye Uncle Tom. It was really sad to view how the slaves were prepared for sale similar to how food and animals are prepared for commercial use in a factory. How the slaves were hand-picked for 'selective breeding' to produce the strongest slave there is. Some slaves died while some lived. There was a 13 year old female slave however, that prefered to lay with a white man rather than a black man. This preference my have resulted from her possibly being raped on countless occasions by white men. It may have also been her way of coping with slavery :/.
