In 1909, a white man was standing there with merchandise for sale. Wearing a cowboy hat and a pipe, he is neatly dressed and looks like a gentleman. What is less well known, however, is that he was a slave trafficker whose merchandise turned out to be a group of black slaves chained together. Since the discovery of Australia by the white people, the indigenous people of the land have become their money-making tools, being trafficked around the world, living a miserable life and depriving them of their basic human rights. Many indigenous tribes gradually went extinct.
This picture seems to be infinitely beautiful, but it hides a deep darkness. This white man looks elegant and decent, but he trades humans as commodities in the market, depriving them of their dignity and freedom. The pipe in his hand seems to be spitting out untold stories, a crime behind civilization.
In this era, a dirty chapter in human history, the evil represented by the black slave ** is rampant in this land. Those black slaves who were bound in chains not only lost their homes, but were forced to carry a heavy fate. It was an absurd and painful moment in which the indigenous people became the unfortunate victims.
Behind this picture is the distortion of human nature and the hypocrisy of civilization. The white man in the cowboy hat looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is a moral degenerate. Behind the ** is the degradation of human morality and the hypocrisy of civilization. This is not only a commodity sale, but also a trampling on the bottom line of human nature.
Time passes, but the shadow of history remains. This is not only a picture of a white man selling black slaves, but also a distorted mark of the times. It is a harrowing past and an opportunity for us to reflect on history.
