I can not stand having freed slaves roaming around the streets like if they’re apart of the community too. Once you become a slave you will always be a slave. I rather use black codes against the black people and try to take away some of their rights instead of trying to kill them like the KKK are. Many southern states as well as my home state South Carolina are forcing black codes to keep white supremacy in place. I remember a few weeks ago I was walking to the court to be apart the jury. As I entered the court a bailiff was forcefully removing a African American from the jury and when the black man asked why he was being removed. The bailiff yelled in his face “Black codes that’s why!” The black man then simply got up and left and he smart in doing so because if he didn’t he would have gotten either arrested or maybe even beaten. …show more content…
Since freed slaves are forced to sign contracts with their former owners. I asked a couple of my former slaves if they wanted to work for me. Thank god they said yes! These contracts prevented African Americans from working for more than one employer so this allowed me have them work on my plantations for hours. Although, I pay them very low wages I decided to treat them as real workers not as slaves. The southern states are using black codes to restrict freed slaves freedom. I also remember a few weeks ago I saw a negro couple trying to rent a house but the real estate agent told them they cannot. I was relieved when the real estate agent said that because it would be ashamed to see former slaves being able to have the right to rent a house like a common white folk. Thank God for the black codes having been made. Although we cannot treat negroes as slaves we still do have the power to treat them like they don’t belong. The states are clever because they are trying to create fear so the negroes won’t try to fight
