“The negroes were already slaves in their own country — slaves to masters whose authority was absolute — and had been such for time immemorial…. Chiefs built their huts of human bones, and drank the blood of their enemy from human skulls, and yearly offered up whole hecatombs of human sacrifices; and on the death of every head man of the tribe, hundreds of his slaves were butchered over his grave, that they might accompany and serve their dead master in the other world.”
Published 1860
Honestly, the descendants of those slaves who made it to America should be like Joseph in the Bible and understand that God intended their slavery for good even if others intended it for evil. There is much that the descendants of Africa have for which to daily thank God. One of which is that their forefathers didn’t end up dead in Africa before being brought to the new world.
“No race gets blamed more for the slavery of Africans than whites, yet no race has done more to abolish the slavery of blacks than whites. No race is seen more as victims of slavery than African descendants, yet no race has more promoted slavery of its people than black Africans.”
Defending Dixie’s Land — p. 365
Perhaps the descendants of black slaves should first be demanding reparations from African nations and tribes?
“Slavery, as everybody knows, was forced upon the colonies by the arbitrary and despotic rule of Great Britain.”
Albert Taylor Bledsoe
“When American slave ships first came to Africa, slaves were already a booming African export. Africa’s #1 export was slaves, even before white men came to purchase slaves. Most African slaves had been sold and sent West to Arab Mooselimbs and Asia. Some countries in Africa had as much as 75-90% of their population enslaved by fellow blacks. Further only 6% of the slaves imported to the Western world from Africa between 1640-1820 came to America; most went to places like Brazil, Cuba, the Caribbean, etc.”
Defending Dixie’s Land — p. 362
I suggest America paying reparations to slaves right after Africa and the Mooselimb world pay reparations to slaves.
This whole “reparations thing” is just one more shakedown.
On Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation (EP)
“Where he could have freed slaves he did not. Where he did free slaves, he could not.”
Lincoln Sec’y of State
“The Union government liberates the enemy’s slaves as it would the enemy’s cattle, simply to weaken them in conflict. The principle is not that a human being cannot justly own another, but that he can’t own him unless he is loyal to the US.”
“The whole nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these new [western territories]. We want them for the home of free white people.”
16 October, 1854
One more piece of evidence that the cause of the War Between the States was NOT slavery. In modern terms the North was “racist” for wanting to exclude blacks from the new territories while the South was “racist” for wanting to own blacks while living in the new territories.
The cause of the Civil War is found in the answer to the question, “What type of Federal Government shall we be ruled by?” Would we be ruled by a top down consolidated Nationalistic Federal Government or a Confederated Union of States where the Federal Government was to have delegated and enumerated powers that were limited and defined? The War of Northern Aggression answered the question for us, until such a time that the legality of the US Constitution can be restored.
Upon hearing of the United Kingdom’s ending of the Slave trade The King of Bonny (now in Nigeria) was horrified at the conclusion of the practice and said,
” We think this trade must go on. That is the verdict of our oracle and the priests. They say that your country, however great, can never stop a trade ordained by God himself.”
In the kinship society there is the father, the head of kin. The family by blood. Those who joined the family freely, freemen. Those who had to join because of debt or war, the slave. And at the bottom, the person who works only to be paid, who is not part of the family and has no loyalty to the family, the workman.
The slave is not the bottom rank.
The workman is to labour as the whore is to sex and the mercenary is to war.
The thrust of liberal society is to reduce all of humanity to workmen, whores, and mercenaries.
Blaming whites for slavery as if blacks had nothing to do with it is like blaming a nice couple in which the man burned his playboy magazines and the woman burned her fifty shades trilogy when they got married seven years ago for the entire porn industry, while saying nothing of anyone who produces it.
