The Black Holocaust of Slavery, was the Worst Human Rights Violations in a so-called civilized Society, that never could ever be repaired by just an simple apology! By: Asifah Hail’e Osmasa Reparations and Repatriation of a Indigenous “BLACK”s NATION
WE WANT REPARATIONS! Reparations, payments or other compensation offered as an indemnity for loss or damage. Although the term is used to cover payments made to Holocaust survivors across the Globe and to Japanese Americans detained during World War II in so-called relocation camps, it is used to describe compensation sought by Indigenous peoples, every where. The enslavement of blacks peoples has never received compensation from any European Nation. Even till today payments have been contributed to Europeans “Zionist”Jews for reparations are sought by the victorious nations of World War I and World War II as compensation for material losses and suffering caused by Anglo-Saxon Germany.
Who was Responsible for the Black Holocaust? It is documented fact that the CRYPTO European Jews From PORTUGAL, SPAIN, BRITAIN and AMSTERDAM played a Prominent role in The BLACK SLAVE TRADE, which caused the GENOCIDE of well Over 1000,000,000 AFRICAN “Black” Peoples. Not to mention African Nobles Chief / Kings and Arab Muslims contribution to our slavery, which was seen as a way of life and developed as a class system. Note: Documented facts supported by the Secret Relationship between Blacks & Jews, N.O.I
European Colonial Globalist Agenda! The European governments began to consolidate there powers in order to regulate international trade from other African Nations in order to increase their wealth, which they developed this into an economic system. In the early 1500s, monarchs of Spain, England, France, and Portugal started to search for business opportunities around the globe, focusing on Africa, so they constructed colonies that would provided natural resources as a means of trade. Prior to there Roman predecessors being shown the Silk Road as a trade route to the World by the Africans. Europeans wanted to take advantage of the trade market and resources that was not available to them, which turned out to be very profitable. The idealism of Greedy Arabs & European Merchants and Conquest start to resonates in the minds of the European Monarchs because the Indigenous peoples cultures and traditions didn’t allow them to see it as a source of economic control.
The Capitalist Europeans ideal of Exploitation! Capitalism is authoritarian Monarchy. Capitalism is an inherently - exploitative system. Capitalism priorities profit-making - over human needs. Capitalism undermines - social solidarity.
Europeans monarchs from England, began to import Africans because it enabled them to accumulate wealth over Indigenous Nations. Free labor, land and resources began fair game as they ravaged Natives. During the Pequot Wars, England “Pirate” Merchants began exchanging Black Natives in Americas for African Blacks. The History of European Settlers lack of respect towards the indigenous Black peoples, cultural traditions became an issues.
European imperialism changed the way of life for “Black” Indigenous peoples in North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Central Asia continents. Our Indigenous peoples were displaced by European settlement in colonies, Therefore, Indigenous peoples adapted their ways of life to function within the European economic system. So the Europeans nations believed that their languages, customs, attitudes, and behaviors were superior to any others.
History Reparations in North America In 1865 General William Tecumseh Sherman issued a special field order that set aside tracts of land in the sea islands and around Charleston, South Carolina for the exclusive use of Black people, who had been enslaved. In less than half a year, the ownership of the land reverted back to Whites colonialist settlers. Thaddeus Stevens, a Republican Leader in the House of Representatives sponsored a bill in 1867 for the redistribution of land to African Americans, but it was not passed. In the years that followed, society engaged in a massive campaign of subjugation and intimidation Blacks throughout the South in order to keep us in their our social place, instead of addressing the economic, social, and educational problems of slavery.
BLACK PEOPLE LIVES LOST MILLIONS OF LIVES -1776: Slaves imported only by the English for the English, French and Spanish colonies: 3 million (250,000 died on the voyage). -1680-1786: Slaves imported for the English colonies in America: 2,130,000 (Jamaica alone absorbed 610,000). -1716-1756: Average annual number of slaves imported for the American colonies: 70,000, with a total of 3.5 million. -1752-1762: Jamaica alone imported 71,115 slaves. -1759-1762: Guadeloupe alone imported 40,000 slaves. -1776-1800: A yearly average of 74,000 slaves was imported for the American colonies, or a total of 1,850,000; this yearly average was divided up as follows: by the English, 38,000; French, 20,000; Portuguese, 10,000; Dutch, 4,000, Danes, 2,000
Slavery laid the foundation for the modern international economic system. The massive infrastructure required to move 8 to 10 million Africans halfway around the world built entire cities in England and France, such as Liverpool, Manchester and Bordeaux. It was the key to London’s emergence as a global capital of commerce, and spurred New York’s rise as a center of finance. The industry to construct, fund, staff, and administer the thousands of ships which made close to 50,000 individual voyages was alone a herculean task. The international financial and distribution networks required to coordinate, maintain and profit from slavery set the framework for the modern global economy.
Africans’ economic skills were a leading reason for their enslavement. Africans possessed unique expertise which Europeans required to make their colonial ventures successful. Africans knew how to grow and cultivate crops in tropical and semi-tropical climates. African rice growers, for instance, were captured in order to bring their agricultural knowledge to America’s Sea Islands and those of the Caribbean. Many West African civilizations possessed goldsmiths and expert metal workers on a grand scale. These slaves were snatched to work in Spanish and Portuguese gold and silver mines throughout Central and South America. Contrary to the myth of unskilled labor, large numbers of Africans were anything but.
African know-how transformed slave economies into some of the wealthiest on the planet. The fruits of the slave trade funded the growth of global empires. The greatest source of wealth for imperial France was the “white gold” of sugar produced by Africans in Haiti. More riches flowed to Britain from the slave economy of Jamaica than all of the original American 13 colonies combined. Those resources underwrote the Industrial Revolution and vast improvements in Western Europe’s economic infrastructure.
Until it was destroyed by the Civil War, slavery made the American South the richest and most powerful region in America. Slavery was a national enterprise, but the economic and political center of gravity during the U.S.’s first incarnation as a slave republic was the South. This was true even during the colonial era. Virginia was its richest colony and George Washington was one of its wealthiest people because of his slaves. The majority of the new country’s presidents and Supreme Court justices were Southerners. However, the invention of the cotton gin took the South’s national economic dominance and transformed it into a global phenomenon. British demand for American cotton made the southern stretch of the Mississippi River the Silicon Valley of its era. The single largest concentration of America’s millionaires was gathered in plantations along the Mississippi’s banks. The first and only president of the Confederacy—Jefferson Davis—was a Mississippi, millionaire slave holder.
The brutalization and psychological torture of slaves was designed to ensure that plantations stayed in the black financially. Slave revolts and acts of sabotage were relatively common on Southern plantations. As economic enterprises, the disruption in production was bad for business. Over time a system of oppression emerged to keep things moving along. This centered on singling out slaves for public torture who had either participated in acts of defiance or who tended towards noncompliance. In fact, the most recalcitrant slaves were sent to institutions, such as the “Sugar House” in Charleston, S.C., where cruelty was used to elicit cooperation. Slavery’s most inhumane aspects were just another tool to guarantee the bottom line.
The economic success of former slaves during Reconstruction led to the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. In less than 10 years after the end of physical slavery, blacks created thriving communities and had gained political power, including governorships and Senate seats across the South. Former slaves, such Atlanta’s Alonzo Herndon, had even become millionaires in the post-war period. But the move towards black economic empowerment had upset the old economic order. Former planters organized themselves into White Citizens Councils and created an armed wing—the Ku Klux Klan—to undermine black economic institutions and to force blacks into sharecropping on unfair terms. Isabel Wilkerson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “The Warmth of the Sun”, details the targeting of black individuals, as well as entire black communities, for acts of terror whose purpose was to enforce economic apartheid.
Defense of slavery, more than taxes, was pivotal to America’s declaration of independence. The South had long resisted Northern calls to leave the British Empire. That’s because the South sold most of its slave-produced products to Britain and relied on the British Navy to protect the slave trade. But a court case in England changed all of that. In 1775, a British court ruled that slaves could not be held in the United Kingdom against their will. Fearing that the ruling would apply to the American colonies, the Southern planters swung behind the Northern push for greater autonomy. In 1776, one year later, America left its former colonial master. The issue of slavery was so powerful that it changed the course of history.
The desire to maintain economic oppression is why the South was one of the most anti-tax regions of the nation. Before the Civil War, the South routinely blocked national infrastructure protects. These plans, focused on Northern and Western states, would have moved non-slave goods to market quickly and cheaply. The South worried that such investments would increase the power of the free-labor economy and hurt their own, which was based on slavery. Moreover, the South was vehemently opposed to taxes even to improve the lives of non-slaveholding white citizens. The first public school in the North, Boston Latin, opened its doors in the mid-1600s. The first public school in the South opened 200 years later. Maintenance of slavery was the South’s top priority to the detriment of everything else.
Many firms on Wall Street made fortunes from funding the slave trade. OLD WALL STREET MODERN DAY WALL STREET Investment in slavery was one of the most profitable economic activities throughout most of New York’s 350 year history. Much of the financing for the slave economy flowed through New York banks. Marquee names such as JP Morgan Chase and New York Life all profited greatly from slavery. Lehman Brothers, one of Wall Street’s largest firms until 2008, got its start in the slave economy of Alabama. Slavery was so important to the city that New York was one the most pro-slavery urban municipalities in the North.
The wealth gap between whites and blacks, is the result of slavery, our economic system has yet to be closed. The total value of slaves, or “property” as they were then known, could exceed $12 million in today’s dollars on the largest plantations. With land, machinery, crops and buildings added in, the wealth of southern agricultural enterprises was truly astronomical. Yet when slavery ended, the people that generated the wealth received nothing.
Congressman John Conyers, United States Congress House of Representatives (HR) for Detroit, MI Introduced and authored Bill H.R. # 40 He is Considered to be the "father" of the Reparations movements, due to his Congressional bill.H.R.40Title: To acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery, subsequently de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.
