A Need to Understand the Apartheid

Not all black people living in the African continent are what “black Americans” would call “brothers from another mother.” But when we look at the struggle they went and currently go through, it nearly appears identical to the struggles blacks in America went and currently go through.

Not all South Africans are native (and I’m not only speaking of the caucasians who dwell there), I’m speaking of the difference between the native african people and the Bantu/Semitic people who also inhabit the land.

Mom’s Complaint Causes Textbook Rewrite

Roni Dean-Burren (in the picture) got a text message from her son, Coby Burren, with a photo wrongly reporting on the Atlantic Slave Trade during the 1500s through 1800s.

The captions in the McGraw-Hill history book wrote:

The Atlantic Slave Trade between the 1500s and 1800s brought millions of “workers” from Africa to the southern United States to work on agricultural plantations.

Obviously, writings like this are caused to soften the blow for whites today about what their ancestors did during this period of illegally kidnapping, killing, raping, and holding captive innocent children, men and women from Africa and Europe.

If people read the wording “workers” it is presented as if this was a economical move that benefitted the workers and the goodhearted United States of America.

This got a lot of attention, in fact, so much attention that McGraw-Hill are recalling the books and rewriting it correctly. We commend Coby and his mother Roni for making a statement against how history is told and how it really went! 🙂

Wrongful Imprisonment Still Prince Abd-El-Rahman

Wrongful imprisonment didn’t start with many of the african americans released from jail after 30 years after evidence finds them not guilty.

Wrongful imprisonment has been going on for centuries. One man who this was perpetrated against was a noble moorish prince.

Prince Abd-El-Rahman, was a highly educated man of Timbuctoo.

Timbuktu citizens were always highly educated. Prince Rahman was the grandson of the Emperor of Timbuctoo and was captured in a battle and eventually sold into the American slavery system. He essentially became a prince among slaves!

What happened is that years later an anglo saxon male doctor was traveling through Mali was in Natchez Mississippi and recognized him.

The doctor paid $4,000 for Rahman’s liberation and his children and return to his land. He was officially freed in 1829.

Were Blacks Slaves or Captives?

Was the Negro a Slave or Captive?

Was the Negro a Slave or Captive?

This is a question worth asking because a slave is okay with their status, a captive is not. The rebellion of many african slaves is not so highly mentioned in the books of history that flow through major schools, but rebellion was a normal happenstance.

From 1526 to 1859, JA Rogers writes that there were 33 slave revolts in the United States. One of the more vicious revolts was headed by Nat Turner from Virginia. Turner went about his revolt in 1831.

Turner, a deeply religious man, took 6 men and they set out to free 3,000,000 (3 million) black slaves. His revolt was so harsh, the US sent marines and 2 warships after him. He slaughtered 55 whites and took over several plantations.

Other revolts included the Seminoles, runaways of mixed Indian and Negro descent, who fought 3 wars with the US to preserve their freedom.
