Psalms, 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. (JAH; JEHOVAH, YAHWEH, GOD!) "How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in life you will have been all these." -George Washington Carver  "Coming from the The Spiritual Heights of the Garden of Eden, to the Technological Heights of the African Pyramids, into the Depts of the Slave Ships and the Poverty Stricken Ghettoes of America. We the Sons and Daughters of the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade, the Worst Holocaust in the History of Humanity find our selves today far recovered from our Brutal Holocaust.......We must never forget!" The Middle Passage is the portion of the Atlantic Ocean between West Africa and the Americas upon which estimated millions of African people were transported as "human cargo" in the holds of ships between the 15th and 19th centuries en route to enslavement. Depending on wind patterns, ship design, and points departure and arrival, the journey across the ocean lasted from one to three months, millions of people dying from suffocation, diseases, violence, and suicide. 18th-century documents are replete with testimonies of sharks following slaving vessels from the coast of Africa until the Caribbean, devouring the seemingly countless bodies of the dead and dying thrown overboard. And it has been said that if the Atlantic Ocean were to dry up today, there would be a trail of human bones stretching from Africa to the Americas. The actual number of men, women and children who were snatched from their homes in Africa and transported in slave ships across the Atlantic, either to the Caribbean islands or to North and South America, will never be known.  Eventually, after the arduous 3,700 mile voyage, the slave ship would reach North America. In order to strengthen them before sale, the slaves were normally fed better in the days directly before their arrival in the new world, however their suffering was far from over. Before they could be sold, the slaves would be oiled to make their skin shiny and any imperfections, such as scars from whippings, would be filled in with hot tar in order to improve their appearance and get the best market price. Most slave ships would not be allowed to dock in the ports which they came to due to their horrible stench and the fear of the spread of any diseases which had been spread throughout the ship. Therefore, the slavers would drop anchor a few miles off shore and carry the slaves to land in smaller boats which had beenstored aboard the ship. The slaves would then be sold at auction and would live through the rest of their lives in wicked involuntary servitude.  This page is dedicated to all the sons and daughters of the trans-atlantic slave trade that lost their lives and to the SoulJahs that continue to tell our story..... Lynching is the illegal execution of an accused person by a mob. It was originally a system of punishment used by whites against African American slaves. However, whites who protested against this were also in danger of being lynched....  For nearly 400 years lynching crimes have been committed and permitted by this Christian nation. Nowhere in the civilized world except the United States of America do men, possessing all civil and political power, go out in bands of 50 to 5,000 to hunt down, shoot, hang or burn to death a single individual, unarmed and absolutely powerless. "Picnic" The acronym for "Pick-a-ni**er", the common practice of lynching African Americans and associating it with a family gathering. Check your history!  In a land that has long been glorified in the supremacy of the white race, he directed his resentment against the black man. His normal instincts became perverted. He became wasteful and careless. He became bestial. He released his pent-up emotions by lynching the black man in order to witness the mental and physical suffering of another human being. He became cruel and inhuman in everyday life as his resentment and bitterness increased. He released his energy from day to day by beating mules and dogs, by whipping and kicking an animal into insensibility or to death. When his own suffering was more than he could stand, he could live only by witnessing the suffering of others... "The events which transpired five thousand years ago; Five years ago or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now; five years From now or five thousand years from now. All history is a current event." - Dr John Henrik Clake - One Love......... |
