ON THE SUBJECT OF SLAVERY

PEACE

I post this article in the hopes that we can build/reason on the subject of slavery, analyzing the differences between First World systems of "servitude" versus the western New World Chattel Slavery/Holocaust system. Again, this is NOT meant to excuze or romanticize Afrikan Systems and Traditions, but to properly discern ourselves and the enemy:

"Slaves in earlier times enjoyed social and individual rights - like marriage, freedom to raise a family, speak their language and worship their gods, rights which were denied the African slaves exported to the Americas. Africans captured and taken into the new world were stripped of all their personality and humanity - they could not even bear their own names."
