Dear journal
I just don’t understand these whites in the North.Dont they understand we need slaves. These slaves aren’t smart enough to be on there own. They will destroy all our hard work if we let them. These slaves have no respect. I got a bunch of them blacks running around near they don’t do much but complain. I always gotta strain my voice telling them what to do. The only time i get them to actually listen is when i pull out my special friend and make an example. Hey should treat me like I am God and nun less. These blacks need to learn they are nun without us whites and if we let them be they won’t learn. I feel all states should have slaves. If we let these blacks run free what do you think they will do? They will try to out power us. I just wish these whites in the North understood
Till Next Time:
