Dead Peasant Insurance

Ever so often, I get another glimpse of what my ancestors went through as slaves here in America.

This diary, ABC News 'Stunned' To Discover Dead Peasant Insurance by Alien Abductee, bought back yet another painful memory from the past. I remember reading long ago either in a book series titled, I Was A Slave by Donna Wyant Howell, American Legacy Books or when a lady in New York actively sort to sue AETNA Insurance Company for reparations regarding the practice of issuing life insurance on slaves, thereby perpetuating the industry.

It seems slave owners would purchase slaves, secure life insurance on them and literally work them to death, collect the insurance money and go out to buy another slave.

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, -SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. I wonder do the Deathers know which of their employers has life insurance on them and why they got so physically sick when working for them and why their boss really dropped their health insurance and/or fired them? Gathering that bit of information should keep them busy for awhile. (Smile)Sarah Palin should read her speaking engagements contracts very carefully.
