UNDERSTANDING AFRICA BIGGEST MISTAKE WITH EUROPAIN DURING THE 1400 .
THIS IS CRUCIAL HISTORY and if it is taught in school , it is taught horribly, We are either told that Europains went into West Afrika and kidnapped helpless Afrikans living in stone Age conditions or we are taught the opposite that Afrikans sold their own brothers and sisters into slavery while these europains innocently tapped into an existing supply . Both of these paradigms are wrong .
History is more complicated than either of these accounts and history by definition is the study of of change over time .
A lot of change in the 400 year sweep of Atlantic slave trade history .
At first Europain could get to West Afrika but because of winds and currents they did not have means to return . Eventually they turned to the lateen sailwhich allowed to tack against the wind .
By the mid 1400, the Portuguese were trying to land on the coast and raid for slaves but they were driven back every time .
West Afrika in this age was made up of powerful nation -states with strong militaries.
In the early days of the trade , Europain had to make trade agreements with individual Kingdoms , and their trading forts were limited to the coasts.
They made their weapons with iron , and anywhere horses could travel ,they were already in use .
Europains had those poor quality muskets and if they could keep the powder dry by the time they could get them loaded, they would have been already killed by the iron spears and arrows of the Afrikans militias.

In addition ,slaves were traded in Afrika as they were pretty much everywhere else around the world .
But the preexisting slaves in Afrika were not slaves in the way they came to be in the
trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
Chattel slavery, the system the captives would enter into was race based , for life and a status inherited by your children .
Slaves in Afrika tend to be war captives or criminals , often similarly to serfs in Europain Nations .
Afrikan kings and other elites would trade some of these slaves the war captives , the criminals to europains usually in exchange for nonessential items , goods that brought status . This trade was so very small compared to what would later develop.
As time passed. Two things changed.
1 europains colonized the Americas they needed huge amount of of labor , europain demand for slaves skyrocketed.
2.europain military technology improved and outstripped that of West African Kingdoms .

by the 1600 these two factors combined caused devastation in west AFRIKA .THE EUROPAINS STARTED TRADING ITEMS VERY STRATEGICALLY TO CREATE AS MUCH SUPPLY OF CAPTIVES AS POSSIBLE . THIS BECAME THE GUN- SLAVE CYCLE .
They would trade one gun for a captive .In order for these Kingdoms to protect their people from being traded by rival kingdoms ,they would have to capture and trade their enemies to get guns
You sent
Now It was trade or be traded. the trickle became a flood. The europain demand for labor and captives turned West AFRIKA into a WAR ZONE where Afrikan Kingdoms fought and captured their enemies and fortified their Kingdoms with nasty europains weapons.
CONCLUSION: BY FOREWORD
WORDS TO FREE YOUR MIND( RAS JAHAZIEL )
IT TAKES SO MUCH MORE TO FREE OUR MIND .
Ras Jahaziel .
If you condense the earth's history—about 4.54 billion years—to just one year, humans have been here for only about 23 minutes.
WHITE SUPREMACY INJUSTICE, as the dominant, global ideology, has existed for a matter of seconds.
For over 130,000 years, mankind has lived harmoniously with the earth.
It is only the last 500 years of WHITE SUPREMACY ascendancy, which have caused the ongoing desecration of the earth.
The classic pattern of cancer mutation and spread can be seen through the ongoing destruction of the planet’s vital organs: water, soil, air and biodiversity.
It is said that if all insects on earth were wiped out, humans would cease to exist within twenty-five years. If all humans vanished, all other life forms would once again thrive.
As a result of being schooled and fed with The White Drug, a whole class of Negroes has been cloned to think and act like the colonial-master, transmitting the colonial-master's views and enforcing the colonial-master's point-of-view.
Under the influence of these white drugs from The europain empire you are even likely to see crime victims as criminals, and find yourself totally agreeing with the colonial master that the solution is to punish them and penalize them and then increase the punishment some more.
And you will see AFRIKANS as enemies, and have no problem with REJECTING THEM.
Whether you are a Barbadian, a Jamaican, a Nigerian or any other colonized African, you have to face the truth that you cannot competently address today's crisis without an in-depth study of the years that you have been trapped in the EUROPAIN man's fish-bowl. These long years in the EUROPAIN man's cage were bound to shape your personality in the same way that it has shaped the personality of any other trapped domesticated creature.
And if you have been educated and promoted to the middle class on the plantation you are even quite likely to become sympathetic to the colonial-master's point of view, and start to view the lower classes from the point of view of the colonial master.
When you have been habitually collared and tied in the EUROPAIN man's trap for centuries, it is easy to become accustomed to having a collar and tie around your neck, and you will even wear it with pride.
VISION OF A FREE CONTINENTAL AFRIKA IN 2157.
