They was Taino Indian in Puerto Rico when they brought Spanish conquistador found African chaos islands over African chap are African the reside in the island before slavery to black. Before they got Africans they had .. Indian slaves . Irish slaves. The Irish had it worst than the black slaves. They also where slaved 500 years longer. Since 1066 Irish where taken from Ireland. 900 year Of slavery a lot longer .. Than the Africans . Whom only did 400 year. . So get your fact straight .. they had to had slave people before Africans. How u think they got the ships made to get to Africa .. So stop taking the shin away from others painful history. All the race u mention where a part of slavery.. And they dont not take them from theses islands because they brought them too the islands And then left then there as slaves. Ahh u are slow . Not a good example for Africa .. Mother Land to all Of Us 5 hours ago via mobile · Like Craig Hughes Michiel Fishburne the point of the post is to highlight the diaspora of Africans. That you are not of the land that you find yourself in. .. Our people are divided by religion, class, by how many degrees they have (Dimi Walker), and allegiance to lands not of their own. Ive heard countless times, Im not African Im American. Im not African Im a Christian. . Muslim. . Ysraelite. The thread that follows this post further illustrates our division and the weakness therein. There is strength in numbers (heard they before? ). The wish for unity that inspires this post is the very same reason why Malcolm was murdered and why Garvey was brought up in trumped up charges by Hoover. Yes Ronni Duren other groups have endured slavery, however I am confused as to what that has to do with this post, furthermore the length and subsequent colonialism is very unique to the African experience. Often the point you are making is brought up by Europeans that feel guilty. ..Be careful of memes. This post is not to insight you to pack up your bags and return to the motherland or to inspire hate in where you reside, but rather to highlight the need for a Pan-African agenda. Our union must know no clime, boundary, or nationality. Let us hold together under all climes and in every country.

Dont get bog down by the haters, wise alecks or smart donkey holes. We have been conditioned to look upon The Mother Land in a negative light and yes we would put the lands we were brought to way ahead of The Mother Land, where our seed come from.

In all actuality we were enslaved much much longer than that. We were also enslaved much longer than any other nation due to the intimidation blacks brought to the whites. Being the original Kings and Queens of the WORLD we were robbed of our dignity, self respect, knowledge, and so on through it all weve lost our way n by reading some of these posts weve lost our minds as well. We were also forced to believe their religions which is a means of mental enslavement to divide and rule. We are also forced to believe in their European doctrines which robs us of our own culture I am a Jamaican born born in Victoria Jubilee hospital in kingston Jamaica but I am an African first. Dont let them fool you with this 400 years crap n that other cultures had it worst.

At its root, Hatred is...The fruits of war are servitude and land. Before the all out kidnapping began there was already a thriving trade in humans as laborers and those paying their debt to the societies they belonged to for crimes committed. Arabs, Asians and Africans were a part of this trade. The way it became an actual atrocity was when Euro-Caucasians got involved and strived to use inner turmoil and conflict to turn a profit from the fallout. Its funny how NOBODY mentions Arabs part in this. The Saudis didnt just suddenly become rich from oil, that was a byproduct of their wealth from TRADING.

So obviously people just had to start trying to argue about the use of the term Africa, how they dont like those colonized Africans, how they dont like black Americans, how their girlfriend is white, how the Irish were treated, who had slaves and who didnt, who sold slaves and who didnt, tainos, how long slavery lasted, what the olmec are, where the Africans sailed to before slavery, and countless other things that have nothing to do with recognizing ourselves as Africans and coming together as such.

The practice stopped because the slave owners were no longer able to tell who was black and who what white with all the in-breeding! Although will say if you look into real Celtic history, you will find the these Irish & Scots were actually black and the word for kilt comes from the word Kinte and both cloths have different patterns to represent the different clans/tribes. I suspect this is why many were sold into slavery.
