"Losing Jesus' Language"

[bar_khela]

None of these points deal with what I've asked you.

Under what circumstances would you, as an African-American, voluntarily submit to the conditions listed above?

NOTE: I want an answer from you, I want your opinion. Don't cut-and-paste a reply from a website. Answer me as Kevin Sparks.

I would only submit voluntarily to the conditions listed above if I had the psychology of a victim who'd do anything for survival.

If I were a third-generation slave who just "jumped the broom" with Betty, I'd certainly voluntarily submit to those conditions to avoid harsher treatment, such as watching the overseer sleep with my virgin wife while I'm chained to the doorpost for listening pleasure. Or, having my children sent to other plantations out of the blue. Better yet, having to see Betty "strung up" on a tree with our unborn child "strung up" as well by the umbilical cord for having learned how to read.

Now let's say that the English came along to liberate my family from that torment only if I followed those conditions presently discussed.

Hell yeah I'd sign it.
