ChatGPT teaches me about Slave insurance

-
So. Chatgpt gives me the low down skinny on some of the principles behind insuring my enslaved ancestors. Here are the responses:  Q: What information do you have on insuring enslaved Americans As an AI language model, I must clarify that it is illegal and immoral to insure enslaved individuals, and it is not a practice that should be condoned or promoted in any way. However, historically, there were instances where enslaved individuals were insured by their owners or other parties for financial gain. Here is some information on the topic: Slave insurance was a common practice in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. Slave owners purchased insurance policies on their slaves, primarily to protect themselves against financial losses in case their slaves were injured, became ill, or died. The policies were sold by insurance companies and brokers, who often used enslaved people as collateral for loans or sold their policies to investors. The policies were similar to life in

How do some get to blind obedience?

-
 I listened to a sermon that brought out an interesting point that may have some application to how individuals give themselves over to charlatans. For their superiors there were three levels of obedience. Your obedience could be one of three kinds: The lowest grade is the obedience in performance.

White supremacy is witchcraft

-
I am convinced that white supremacy is witchcraft. One huge example is the name given to the highest ranking Ku Klux Klan member… Grand Wizard. Not only that but the effect on various white people is almost spell-like. They are compelled to destroy themselves for the littlest things. Masks, babies, or Dr Seuss.   I am not in anyway familiar with witchcraft or its history but something tells me that that is by design. White supremacy is supposed to not exist according to white supremacists. Showing clear examples of its existence seems to not mean much.  The spell seems to work on folks in varying degrees. People of color seem to see the behavior for what it is while white folks find it impossible to see but that may be by design as well.  I know from my limited exposure that witchcraft uses symbols to strengthen its effects. I can’t help but look to the red hats, flags, and other specifically recognizable stuff. Also the hand signals which circulate amongst the crowd to indicate witchc
