:)"Prejudiced" and "Troubled" about what? A nation that has enslaved and afflicted my people for 400 years turning to dust?
I understand that you aren't well informed since you only converse with believers that are of your ilk, of your ethnicity. But um, right now my people are rejoicing at this country tearing itself apart, at God judging it for its wickedness. The one's that know who they truly are, and understand the times we're in in relation to prophecy, are not troubled.
I feel I must comment on this..the majority of slave owners were from the south and had huge plantations.
My ancestors were from the north, never owned a slave, and fought and died in the Civil War along with men who escaped from their owner to fight for their freedom.
Most of the oppression of the black race came from the south.
The KKK originated in the south right after losing the Civil War.
JFK was due to sign the Civil Rights Act into law until he was assassinated. This created alot of fear and anxiety about the act but Lyndon B. Johnson...JFK'S VP...went ahead and finished what he had started. The Democrats fought this for almost 2 years.
Lincoln and JFK were both assassinated as some believe because they were empowering the black people and giving them the same freedoms that they were afforded by the constitution.
Now let's talk about Africa...this country has enslaved and oppressed more people than any nation in the world.
Slavery for domestic and court purposes was widespread throughout
Africa. Plantation
slavery also occurred, primarily on the eastern coast of
Africa and in parts of West
Africa. The importance of domestic plantation
slavery increased during the 19th century, due to the abolition of the Atlantic
slave trade.
Forced labor was not uncommon — Africans and Europeans had been trading goods and people across the Mediterranean for centuries — but enslavement had not been based on race. The trans-Atlantic slave trade, which began as early as the 15th century, introduced a system of slavery that was commercialized, racialized and inherited. Enslaved people were seen not as people at all but as commodities to be bought, sold and exploited. Though people of African descent — free and enslaved — were present in North America as early as the 1500s, the sale of the “20 and odd” African people set the course for what would become slavery in the United States.
SLAVERY IN WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA
Slavery was prevalent in many
West and
Central African societies before and during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. When diverse African empires, small to medium-sized nations, or kinship groups came into conflict for various political and economic reasons, individuals from one African group regularly enslaved captives from another group because they viewed them as outsiders. The rulers of these slaveholding societies could then exert power over these captives as prisoners of war for labor needs, to expand their kinship group or nation, influence and disseminate spiritual beliefs, or potentially to trade for economic gain. Though shared African ethnic identities such as
Yoruba or
Mandinka may have been influential in this context, the concept of a unified black racial identity, or of individual freedoms and labor rights, were not yet meaningful.
This is the hypocrisy of it all....and I pray that it will all be ended soon.
God Bless
If I was "prejudiced", would I still be HERE of all websites speaking to you people after being called a nigger? Nah, I'm a nice guy, just enjoying the descendants of Japeth, and all their "prophets" losing their whole damn minds over losing "their" country.
