And Lincoln was assassinated over his opposition to a privately-owned central bank (a little known factoid the Plantation doesn't like to share with the slaves).
Kennedy didn't catch it f'ing with the Fed, Kennedy caught it for f'ing with the military industrial congressional complex, that very same one that Dwight Eisenhower spoke about in his departing remarks.
Read Fred J. Cook's classic and prophetic 1962 treatment The Warfare State..., the fireworks between JFK and E.M. Dealey (Dealey plaza named after his daddy) were legendary.
LOL. Lincoln did not sign the Emancipation Proclamation to make anyone free. Indeed enslaved Afikans (nearly 1 million people) in the loyal slave-holding states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware, along with the West Virginia Territory, and loyal areas of Tennessee and other Confederate states were not covered by the Proclamation.
Lincoln’s true intentions regarding Afrikans in America were articulated in his December 1, 1862 address to Congress when he proposed: (1) a gradual elimination of slavery—extending to 1900; (2) financial compensation to slave owners for the loss of their “property;” (3) colonization for freed Afrikans.
The Proclamation served two primary purposes for Lincoln: (1) it allowed him to use “contraband” in the US military; (2) it all but guaranteed that Great Britain and France would not intervene in the Civil War on behalf of the CSA.
Stop calling the Black men and women of North America "Afrikans".
No way Josey Wales. "Power is the ability to define reality."

[In this ground-breaking study, Sterling Stuckey, a leading cultural historian and authority on slavery, explains how different African peoples interacted on the plantations of the South to achieve a common culture. He argues that, at the time of emancipation, slaves still remained essentially African in culture, a conclusion with profound implications for theories of black liberation and for the future of race relations in America.

The W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African-American Research is located at Harvard University and was established in 1969. It is named after W. E. B. Du Bois who was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University (1895).[1] The Institute awards up to twenty fellowships annually to scholars at various stages in their careers in the fields of African and African American studies to facilitate the writing of doctoral dissertations. The Institute is also involved in the community through the W. E. B. Du Bois Society.

"From the 16th to the 19th centuries an estimated 645,000 were brought to what is now the United States. The usual estimate is that about 15 per cent of slaves died during the voyage"
The Olmec flourished during Mesoamerica's Formative period, dating roughly from as early as 1500 BCE to about 400 BCE. Pre-Olmec cultures had flourished in the area since about 2500 BCE, but by 1600-1500 BCE Early Olmec culture had emerged centered around the San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán site near the coast in southeast Veracruz.[1] They were the first Mesoamerican civilization and laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed.[2] Among other "firsts", the Olmec appeared to practice ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame, hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies.
The great value of trade from India and the East Indies prompts the various East India companies - and particularly those of England and Holland - to invest in magnificent ocean-going merchant ships. They need to be capacious to store the cargo; they need to be strong and well-armed to fight off pirates or even the ships of rival companies; and they need to be comfortable for their captains and for important passengers, busy making fortunes in the east.
Beautifully carved and gilded, these are the most splendid ships of the time. The largest class, outdoing even the biggest warships, are 1200 tons.
These vast ships are not fast, as their statistics reveal. The largest are 165 feet long and as much as 42 feet wide, a ratio of less than 4:1 between length and width. These are the portly aldermen of the high seas. While the East India companies enjoy a monopoly of trade, speed is not of great importance.
LOL the African slave narrative continues in the minds of the Indigenous of the Americas. Africans on the continent do not think of themselves as Africans until they leave their home country and come to the U.S. or the U.K.,...Why we in America got to be Africans??? How often do you who believe you are African eat Fufu, or egusi? Had any pounded name lately?
Ironically, Henry Louis Gates' DNA traced back to Europe and not Africa, specifically Ireland. He begged and begged the DNA "experts" to place his ancestry in Africa until they located two seperate places in Africa his DNA could have come from. East Africa and West Africa...What a wide berth that is.
No European shipping could go on without the sanction of West Africans. The Europeans and later Europeans that usurped the name American, had to pay heavy tribute to the west Africans to travel the sea lanes owned by the Africans or be SMASHED at sea. They paid.
Slavery was not only confined to the plantaion, but also in major southern cities where often free people of colour mingled with the enslaved population. Free light skinded blacks and free dark skinded (just playing) did not socialize with each other nor did either group socialize with poor and enslaved blacks. Its a proven fact that many of the blacks in major southern cities were very wealthy and it was not the just "illegitimate" children of slave owners that were prosperous but dark skinded blacks were often just as wealthy. And both owned slaves black and white. Oh yes there were many many white slave...Check Oliver Cromwell's ousting of the Irish to the colonies and the Caribbean.

Of course not DV. We all know that Black people along the Carolina/Georgia coasts learned Mende and Vai from the Mound Builders who were already here. LOL
"P.E.H. Hair . . ., a British historian, pointed to the "astonishing" fact that all of the African texts known to be preserved by the Gullah are in languages spoken in Sierra Leone. Mende, which accounts for most of the African passages collected by Lorenzo D. Turner, is spoken almost entirely in Sierra Leone, while Vai and the specific dialect of Fula are found on the borders with Liberia and Guinea. But Dr. Hair also noted that a "remarkably large proportion" of the four thousand African personal names and loan-words in the Gullah language come from Sierra Leone. He calculated that twenty-five percent of the African names and twenty percent of the African vocabulary words are from Sierra Leonean languages, principally Mende and Vai. Dr. Hair concluded that South Carolina and Georgia is the only place in the Americas where Sierra Leonean languages have exerted "anything like" this degree of influence.
Gullah culture seems to emphasize elements shared by Africans from different areas. The Gullahs' ancestors were, after all, coming from many different tribes, or ethnic groups, in Africa. Those from the Rice Coast, the largest group, included the Wolof, Mandinka, Fula, Baga, Susu, Limba, Temne, Mende, Vai, Kissi, Kpelle, etc.—but there were also slaves brought from the Gold Coast, Calabar, Congo, and Angola." --- Hair, P.E.H.

Bro Man, you must live in an area where the National Security State sprays a lot of chem trails, b/c it sounds like early onset Alzheimer’s is taking hold. How many times I have told you that there is no doubt about the Afrikan presence in the Olmec Civilization.
“Studies done by researchers such as Ivan Van Sertima (They Came Before Columbus), Alexander Von Wuthenau (Unexpected Faces in Ancient America), Runoko Rashidi and others have presented evidence that clearly show that the Olmecs were not Indians with "baby faces," or Indians who looked like Blacks (although a few Olmecs did mix with the Native Americans). They were Africans no different from Africans found in the Mende regions of West Africa.
Studies done by Clyde Winters show that the Olmecs used the Mende script, a writing system used among the Mandinkas and other Africans in West Africa. When the writings on Olmec monuments were translated, it was found that the language spoken by the Olmecs was Mende.” – Paul Barton
Abraham Lincoln, in a debate with Stephen Douglas: "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races -- that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.
