Back when the Europeans owned black people as slaves in the Americas, especially North America, these slaves were split into "House Negroes" & "Field Negroes."

The Field Negro worked in the cotton fields. Conditions were harsh & brutal. Horrific weather conditions, whippings...

...& hunger was the order of the day. Life was brutal for the Field Negro & (s)he constantly looked for avenues to escape. It was brutal. Life was horrible for the Field Negro.

Then you had the House Negro. (S)he worked inside the house with the Master. Conditions were good...

...Matter of fact; conditions were great! Whippings were minimal, scraps from the Master's table, leftovers from the Master's plate, cool air away from the sun; life was great! So they got thrashed a couple of times or got raped. It was a small price to pay for the "comfort."...

Therefore you had two different oppressed mindsets. Matter of fact, whenever the Field Negro had plans to escape, the House Negro would foil those plans. (S)he knew if the Field Negro escaped, Master would be furious THEN (s)he could become a Field Negro. So, the House Negro...

...was a snitch. Sometimes, whenever the Field Negro had been brutalized by Master, the House Negro would sneak some food to the Field Negro & tell 'em; "Master isn't too unreasonable. See? He even allowed me bring you food from the kitchen. Just behave."

Watch out for...

...House Negroes. They are all over the #EndSarsNow protests.

Peace.
