If 'massa' was to let you do all of that, then he must be getting 'some' too.
Who said he'd know about it. In her eyes I'm the forbidden fruit. In my eyes she's the forbidden fruit and a godess.

5:40 inotit and this guy has already hit some great points...so far the most striking is this:
"In this post 9-11 world we talk a lot about terror, do we not? Well, the question I have is: do we have the courage to talk about the terror that was instrumental in making and building of American society? Not something done to Americans, but something done BY Americans to others?"
i'm diggin it already, cause it tell the truth to folks who have probably been oblivious to it their entire lives.

okay, listened to it and rewound a few parts a few times.
that was amazing, saddening, angering, and sobering.
it also speaks of the sheer power and greatness of Black people to have survived such horros reasonably intact.
if all of us knew this history it woul cause pride and unity to grow in us to the point where we couldnt be stopped.
THIS is why we are so vigorously policed, criminalized, demonized, and suppressed.
we are genetically resiliant, intellectually rich, and spiritually predisposed to greatness.
and people FEAR us because of it.

Shiiit, ole Betty Jean come downstairs to breakfast walkin bowlegged, yo ass is as good as lynched. You aint no goddamn 'forbidden fruit', youze a 'Black buck', and she will tell on yo ass in a hot second.
props to the op..! knowledge is power..!
Good to see people from other races and sending and receiving the message ...
... also some times I forget about how Africans helped enslave other Africans ... even though their role was smaller it was critical to success of Slave Trade

I think you are right, we'd have to work something out. Cause I don't think massa would approve. But you know what I always say fuck massa. Betty Jean and I are goign to have to run away just so we can be together.
Notice at the end how he talked about the gun slave cycle and how the whites used a divide and rule strategy to not only get black captured slaves but later on most of Africa itself. If you were to take the textiles, slaves and guns and exchange it with todays clothes, drugs and guns, the drug trade of today and the slave trade back them are almost identical with each other.

honkey lover.
Prisoner slavery was always prevalent in African society, except it wasn't de-humanizing like european slavery. Most if not all of the Africans had no idea what they were bartering their brethren too, and when they did they fought back. But yet instill, it is still a blight on our history that has to be redeemed.
Good post!
K-12 is not meant for true education, only conditioning of the youth and then reinforcement of the information which the parents know. This is why its not based on critical thinking, only the regurgitation of information which they claim to be fact. When the children are conditioned, they become conditioned adults, and the surreal act of the American Dream, with the sleeping populace believing it exists, comes to pass.
Its the only way why so many Americans actually believe in the tradition of thanksgiving... which is why I don't celebrate that horrid day... fucking bastards
This was a good lecture, of course it is set in an area which I can't download or rip. CSPAN has a site on youtube, but of course this is not part of their lecture listing, but in turn they have every other one on the site ...
here is another video I did find from the same instructor on similar content... he is pushing his book about the slave ships

Finally had the chance to look at the presentation, although still haven't found a way to rip it from the site.
The last part of it when they got to the gun-slave cycle was something which has been debated on this site by those which said Africans didn't have a hand in it while other held the opposite view.
But we all could agree that whites didn't last long when they went on the continent due to their inability at the time to deal with the diseases of the land. As the lecturer advised, they brokered deals with Africans tribes for their POWs and also traded with them for slaves... i.e. their conquered enemy tribes. They were sold substandard equipment in exchange for these people...
Are there any documentation which is had against this view?
