  • It has been documented that the Original Man is from Africa. Darwin created the "Theory of Evolution" to justified in the world's minds, the kidnapping and horrific abuse of African people and transforming these people into the status of livestock.
    The American Constitution, which was written after the successful revolt for American's Freedom, declared people of African descent as three fifths human. Even today America's white supremacists still regard descendants of slave as 3/5 human.
    History proves that the Civil War was not to free slaves but to maintain the union of American's states.

      No people have suffered more than black people. The legacy of slavery still continues to this day with millions of black people displaced across the Americas.
      The racism created to justify slavery is also still present today and effects the lives of millions of black people all over the world. Even on a subconscious level(watch the black doll/white doll experiment).
      In Africa, entire cities and palaces were burned to the ground. Men, women and children were slaughtered in the millions. Rich empires and kingdoms were destroyed and their histories 'erased' and rewritten.
      Black people have endured a great amount of suffering but we are resilient. Despite constant adversity we are able to overcome and achieve anything.

They wouldn't be chained or restrained in any way but they were forced to sit very close to one another due to the small area they would be in. How would they determine who the tight fitters were and who the loose fighters were?

      Roadwarrior -- that is why every African who comes over on a visa needs to learn what African Royalty did to their commoners or laborers. Selling us for guns, food & colonial protection by the Europeans - ripped a hole in Africa. That is why Africa has suffered for years in droughts, famines, diseases etc. There was no one left but royal families & their friends to work the harvest, take care of the villages or protect the tribes. Apologies have to come from both sides -- Africans & European colonies which benefited from the Middle Passage/Slave trade. If you visit the Charles Wright Museum in Detroit, you will see people (Black & White) break down in tears as they walk through the makeshift slave holding area of the ships. The sounds & sights are so very real & terror can be felt by all who enter. Can you imagine it being 10 times more horrible than recreated? The Soul is definitely touched......

      @@marissajones2945 Secession and the war were two different events each having different reasons.
      The war was not fought over slavery and ill explain it to you. The south was being tarriffed and at times taxes were 70%, you'd be pretty pissed off if almost 3\4 of your paycheck every month was taken away from you due to taxes wouldn't you? The north didnt care about slavery they just wanted more money, most wars are fought over money or profit. The confederate battle flag is not racist it's a battle flag they used in battle against the yankees.
      In march of 1861 abraham lincoln made an offer to the south that would never happen, it never happened because war broke out and it would've been the 13th amendment it was called the corwin amendment. That amendment stated that congress would not have the power to abolish slavery in any state or institiution that people are held a labor of service under the laws of that state. So pretty much what that means is they would let the southern states keep their slaves for higher taxes.the south had 10% tariffs on their ports and abraham lincoln wanted 40% so therein lies the road to war.
      War did happened not the amendment, because a month later a man named P.G.T Beauregard and an estimated 500 soldiers fired on fort Sumter and captured it in battle in april of 1861. Abraham Lincoln then wired four southern states to draft 75,000 men to suppress the rebellion but they didn't listen and voted for secession, because they didn't want to march into other states and tyrannize people. Why did Beauregard attack fort sumter ? If you just wanted to keep your slaves why fire a shot. They did not want to get taxed any higher, they were fed up with having to pay 70% of the federal taxes and didnt want higher tariffs.
      Now there is one thing out there that people say all the time. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves with the emancipation proclamation. Please tell me how you free slaves in a country made up of 13 states that you're at war with. That would be like modern day America at war with Iran, and lets say Iran had slaves and America says that with this document all iranian slaves are free. How would that work, it wouldn't because we don't govern iran.
      In 1776 during the revolution all 13 colonies agreed to keep slaves; it was a part of the constitution, it was the law right, wrong, or indifferent. Abraham Lincoln did not want to interfere with that. But he did want to keep England and Europe out of the war from aiding the southern confederacy and recognizing them as a country so two years after the war started he came out with the emancipation proclamation and it did not free one slave. He said it himself it was a war measure, the only thing that document did was demonize the southerners.
      The winners get to write in the history books, we are being taught the wrong history in schools by a marxist system that brainwashes children and forces them to think that the confederates were racists. Let me give you a great example. There was a man back then named Robert E Lee whose house still stands in Arlington National Cemetery. This man was the commanding general of the army of northern Virginia who freed his slaves, there is also another man that goes by the name of Ulysses S Grant commanding general of the union forces, who owned slaves and even kept his slaves a couple years after the civil war, and his words where “good help is hard to find”.
      So I will end with this: Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant and deserved to die a domestic terrorist. John Wilkes Booth did a service to America when he pulled the trigger and killed the man who started the war of northern aggression. I will forever hold dear the lives of the confederate soldiers who defended their county and homes may they rest in peace.

      Look at those "Good Christian Men," hard at work on the high seas, making a living in the field of International Trade! I'm sure glad they taught US their bible so we could be "free" and "saved!" TODAY we get to be CHRISTIANS too! Just like them.....we even get to use the same book they had! And the GREAT thing for us is....NOTHING in that book has changed!!😒 ........Just THINK about that for a few moments! ......🔥🔥then FREE YOUR AFRICAN MIND BLACK MAN!!!

      My advice: dont be a crybaby. Work your butt and do it smartly. Do not focused on races thing. Its politics and politics will not bring you any good.
