The 1500 through 1515 time period, the King of the Congo stood rather firm against slavery (except some tokenisms),
but as it advanced into the 1600s, we see the Portuguse playing Black tribe, against Black tribe. The King of the Congo sent letters to the Portuguese king, time and time again accusing local Portuguese of stealing Congo citizens. One the Potuguse established dominance on the islands such as Sao Tome, the building of forts on the mainland came next. That Eloi priesthood (perhaps Dominicans) in the Congo during the early years had a great part in the early intra-Africa slave trade. God's perfect will elides (intersects?) with his free will, when we act in disobedience, or even when we act stupidly, such as giving our women to Whites and Hispanics.. Becomes part of Whites manifest destiny, their destruction by YAHWEH because of their greed. I see the local Black high football teams match those twelveth grade girls up, with the Black atheletic boys. Genetic breeding of Black atheletes.
Maybe it was just a matter of time until the trans-Atlantaic slave trade actuality began in the 1520s, because the Portuguse had been taking Africans to Portugal as domestic slaves in the 1400s. What lesson have we as Blacks learned? Nothing. I wouldn't trust a White man or Hispanic as far as I can throw them, and that ain't far. And most of my best friends are White. I would go for a modified type of integration, where we teach our own children 1/2 day, and let
them integrate the other half day. For certain we have not evolved capitalistically where we can feed and maintain our
own 30 million in this country, or whatever. This having our 30 and 40 year Black intelligensia working in the isles of Wal-Mart, ain't part of nobody's dream. I 'seen' Magic Johnson on TV today talking about his new share in the Washington Commandeers football team, proclaiming his "Black racedness'.
