EVERY SINCE BLACKS WERE KIDNAPPED FROM AFRICA WHITES HAVE BEEN KILLING THEM !




Since the existence of man, the worst things have always happened to the Black race–and NO I am not talking about Black Republicans or Flavor Flav!

Black people have persevered through countless years of slavery, racism and the crack epidemic.

What possibly could be the worst event the Black race has ever experienced?

The following 10 events will outline the worst events to happen to Black people in history.

1. Colonization: The Scramble for Africa


During the 19th century, European countries saw Africa’s richness in natural resources and decided that it would be a great place to conquer and colonize. Each European country raced to the continent and treated it like a huge buffet table; but perhaps forgot to ask Africa“Are you going to eat that?” The theft of the land included our heritage, resources, history, and was possibly the reason for the rest of the worst events listed.

2. Slavery


After all this, Europeans then decided they needed people to work for them, but for FREE. Enslaved Africans were the first type of slaves in history to be owned by law, and were treated as property that could be sold, beaten, or killed at owners consent. Slavery stripped Black people of common human rights, tore apart societies, and is one of the worst events to ever happen to a group of people.

3. Imposition of Religion

One of the greatest tools of enslaving Africans was Christianity. Their strategy was to send missionaries and militaries to embrace and accept their message as Africans were very religious. What they did not anticipate was the ass-whooping the military had in store for them.

Christianity not only played a role in tricking Africans, it also was used to make whites believe slavery was not a negative act. White populations were taught that Africans didn’t have souls so many embraced the idea of owning Black people.

4. Institutionalized Racism

If something is law, then it must be right? Right? Of course not. This is evident by what we have witnessed with Jim Crow laws, apartheid, and the numerous other laws that have stripped Blacks of our human rights. Institutionalized racism forced nations to practice bigotry, making an atrocious belief become a foundation of societies. In the United States, institutionalized racism is no longer as evident as it was 60 years ago—considering we don’t talk about the prison system.

5. The AIDS Epidemic




It is believed by many that AIDS was created as a biological weapon to wipe out the Black race, and was administered in polio vaccines to thousands of Africans in the 1950’s and the smallpox vaccine to thousands of Africans in the 80’s.

Despite the validity of these theories, the AIDS epidemic hit Africans and African-Americans hard becoming the number one killer of African-Americans for numerous years. In 2008, an estimated 22.4 million people in sub-Saharan Africa were living with HIV/AIDS.“The Silent Killer” has ravished Black society, as it has also marked us with a label of being sexually irresponsible.

6. The Color Line


In 1903, W.E.B. Dubois stated that the problem of the 20th century is the color-line; a concept dealing with discrimination which exists in politics, academia, and all types of class systems.

In the early 1900s, African-American class systems were created; lighter-skinned people typically went to college, were more accepted and successful, and created elitist societies like the Black Bourgeoisie.

This idea of class systems exists in all races. It is rather prevalent in the Black race because of the clear distinction of skin-tone.

7. The Crack Epidemic


The epidemic hit the U.S. in the 1980’s and devastated Black communities.

Crack became a multi-million dollar illicit industry that ravished Black communities in New Orleans, Philadelphia, New York City, Houston, San Diego, and Baltimore to name a few. As a result of the rampant drug use, crime skyrocketed and many communities have yet to recover to this day.

8. Invasion and Westernization of Egypt


Does it matter if Cleopatra was Black or White? Yes, it’s crucial to our academic existence. We understand that the Roman’s invaded Egypt, but who actually contributed to the greatest wonder of the world?

White people?

By taking credit for some of the most genius inventions known to man, they have taken away the only evidence of a magnificent BLACK civilization. All the art shows evidence of darker-skinned people, and many historians speculate that the Sphinx’s nose was exploded off to hide the fact that it had African features. We can speculate if Egypt was in fact a Black civilization, but must I remind everyone that Egypt is in Africa.

9. Educational Disparity


African-Americans have had a history of low achievement in the educational system for years. Culture, learning, teaching patterns, importance of education, and prejudice have all contributed to the low levels of achievement. It has also contributed to crime and many other problems that affect the Black community. The stigma of unintelligent Black people has prevailed for years, even with the increasing number of Black intellectuals.

10. Modern Day Genocide


The continent of Africa has been vastly exploited for its resources. That corruption and theft has been a foundation of these new governments who recently gained their independence. Genocide and religious wars have turned countries into uncivil places for anyone. Thousands of people are being enslaved, killed, and exploited for material things non-Africans benefit from like diamonds. All these evil and vile things were done to Blacks by White People

We must be the GREATEST people ever, to be able to withstand all this war, drought, famine, pestilence, vilification, abuse, insults, enslavement, colonialism, imperialism, invasions military occupation, destabilization, etc, etc

....NO PROBLEM, we've got broad shoulders., we can handle it. To forgive is DIVINE. We must be DIVINE

NOTE: In spite of the educational disparity, the some of the greatest contributions to arts, philosophy and science have been made by "black" people:

They must really FEAR us or ENVY us, or Both.

In the white supremacist mind, we, black people, are something other than what they see themselves as. This is the training and orientation of hundreds of years of forced and stolen privilege. Dr. Francis Welsing explains that whites see us, black males particularly, as a threat, by way of our genetic influence. Genetic science shows that the melanin producing gene is dominant over those that render paleness. In white supremacist theory, paleness is a badge of superior standing in nature, and with God. Reveling in this false glory, a Papal Asiento, (the Pope's Assent), commissioned the army of slave traders against Africa, and the hunt was on...and continues. Indeed, the laws of slavery and segregation were designed to keep white privilege intact and alive. As long as this effect is generated, the (white) American dream is being realized, and effects that sustain and continue the delusion are called for and celebrated. These murders, of which James is the latest, are examples of "the goodness of white people" overcoming "the inherent threat and evil of black people". Was James a violent criminal? If so, no more or less so because of his color, but being black, is perceived by whites as more so. Was James violent? Surely not at the time of his being killed. Was James violent and criminal? From a long heritage of being victimized by laws and attitudes against his color, it could well be expected of all of us. Was James violent and criminal? For three hundred years, blacks were subjected to laws from white bodies, united as they were to oppose governments non-representative of themselves, that were aligned to NOT represent blacks. Would there be such a racial bias in law and its enforcement and application, had we been given our birthright as citizens of this nation, from its founding? Would we be plagued by conditions that draw our children into questionable activity, had our families not been divided into sale lots, and our natural heritage, identity, and ethnicity, not been forbidden us, over these years of nationalist expansion? Like lions in the grass, whites wait and watch and ferret out the weaklings from the herd, and glorify in their kills, but these lions are not lions, for lions don't hunt their own cubs. These are deranged and deluded proxy assassins, killing, under color of authority, those whose very existence, and whose every freedom, makes white supremacists, fear for their lives, but more for the life and power of their institutions.

How come you do not mention that my cousins were carjacked at gunpoint? James Rivera pointed a gun at my family and no even cares. I am not nor will I ever be James Rivera. I am sorry for your loss. I am sorry that James escaped from the detention facility where he was supposed to be paying for his other crimes. I am sorry that you think it is fair to run around with a shotgun and terrorize an innocent family. I am sorry that you are telling the world that it is okay to sue the city for $10 million dollars because you allowed James Rivera to hide out at your house so that he could terrorize an innocent family. I am sorry that my family had to call the police because James Rivera carjacked that family's car and then tried to elude police. I am sorry that you people do not see the injustice that my family suffered because James Rivera was an angel. I am sorry that your moral compass is upside down and that you sicken me.
