Slavery, one decision. 

Many years ago the world lived its worst time: white people had the control. The sale of the black people was a normal situation, the abuse of authority was a normal situation, the slavery, being the lowest of the acts, was a normal situation. The world was being governed and controlled for some people who believed that to have slaves -whipping them, negotiate them and offend them- was the culture, belief and tradition.

When the Spaniards arrived to America everything changed: we lost the freedom and we were subjected to their benefits along with the Africans who came as slaves. It is, without doubt, ther most inhuman condition that a person can live because it suppose the lost of real thing: freedom.

The white people were the owner of everything and the person who did not have money was considered failed; the white men were who bought and sold slaves, the white women gave them orders. In some cases, the black women were raped for white men all the time that they wanted. 

Although slavery was abolished and the black people have the same rights and duties that the white people, we are being slaves for own skin color, we are slaves of a governament that give one step forward and two steps back, we are slaves of own thought; many people are slaves of the work, parents who abuse their children; boss who believe that they have not workes, they believe that have slaves. Slavery will end when the people say no and lift up his o her knees of the floor.

Quoting Seutonio: "In a State truly free, the thought and the word should be free" when we are able to understand this, we will be free.
