True "Black people in America were being enslaved for life, while the protections of whiteness were formalized." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/19/magazine/history-slavery-smithsonian.html Words and their meaning change....in this case it is the name of a hair style. Names do not reflect definition.....cars called Toyota Corrola are not fertile rice patty or parts of plants petals and sex organs They were not enslaving anybody....in the sense of how we understand slavery - in particular European enslavement of Africans They were providing an opportunity.... Provisions in law are made for them to be released every 7 or 50 yrs Just as how people from all over the world seeks to be permanent residents and desire work visa in the USA. Generation after generation just means that after you die they can remain in country and work for some one else or a member of your family. The choice is theirs Same thing.... Some POWs and Prisoners are for life in the USA All slaves are release every 50 yrs(jubilee) They often ask for what you called enslavement....

I have a visceral reaction and a mixed emotion...to that word It is believe to have one of three roots Negro as in Spanish the youngest root Necro as in Dead. NGR as in God...the oldest root It is interesting to note two countries and at least one river in Africa Pays Homage to it. It is not then Surprising that The resurgence of Pan-Africans is germinating in one such country....These Pan-Africans are challenging the Pan-Africanism of ECOWAS

Yes Yes...the power dynamics involved were different Yes The Rich and Powerful Countries Extort and Intervene in poor countries....to keep them poor Yes....they also do it to stay alive and keep their families and friends alive Yes... The Western Powers engage in unfair trading practices which leaves them with inadequate amounts of Foreign Currency Reserves(USD) with which to trade or participate in the global Market place in manner so as to satisfy the needs of their peoples. The gunshot wounds are not self-inflicted but due to gunboat and bigstick diplomacy. These poor countries are not stymied by greed corruption or stupidity but mostly by Foreign Interventionist Policies....

One can see a rainbow....but one cannot touch a rainbow Yes.... Every color has its vibration and frequency. It is tangible because you can touch it or feel it...with your skin. The organ that discern color is your eyes....not your skin. It is said Some people walk on water.... The thing is can you feel color?

No...not really. The thing with words is that they tend to have more than one meaning and different meanings in different times. Here is where context and culture comes into play...of the original scribes of the Time and the many translators through out time from then to today. How do you define "Holy"? You can put your faith in scripture....whilst always remembering that scripture comes to us through the agency of Man - with all his foibles biases and agendas. True... Though that be the case the truth can still be gleamed from scripture. Yes they were Condemned to a life of permanent enslavement. "Other colonies passed similar slave codes. All slave codes made slavery a permanent condition, inherited through the mother, and defined slaves as property. Since the status of the offspring followed that of the mother, the child of a free father and a slave mother was a slave. Slaves, being property, could not own property or be a party to a contract. Given that marriage is a form of a contract, no slave marriage had any legal standing. In all of the slave codes the color line was firmly drawn, and any amount of Negro blood established the race of a person, whether enslaved or “free”, as Negro." https://www.nps.gov/ethnography/aah/aaheritage/histContextsE.htm A war was fought to free the enslaved - freeing the slave was not part of USA Slave System... Many may say chattel slavery is still here and it is still legal and constitutional. Furthermore the War against slavery still continues...so long as ideas 0f Racism/White Supremacy exist and is given value in the corridors of power.

Yes....was Texas or California a colony of the USA Yes.... In the sixties nearly the entire continent gain political....now they struggle for economic freedom - progress is sometime slow.

I agree really....looks can be deceiving. The question is can tell 0r differentiate color by touch only?

The bible states that All must be free at the Jubilee Leviticus 25:10 Contemporary English Version This fiftieth year is sacred--it is a time of freedom and of celebration when everyone will receive back their original property, and slaves will return home to their families. Thanks for those spectacles....here is what it has revealed Leviticus 25:46 Young's Literal Translation and ye have taken them for inheritance to your sons after you, to occupy for a possession; to the age ye lay service upon them, Or if you change your mind just escape to the neighbor. As shown above not all translation of that verse uses the word "forever". Now show where the vast majority slaves in the American Slavery System was not meant to remain slaves forever?

True.... When ignorance is entrenched power....it is an uphill struggle for the intelligent. No country exist in a vacuum The problem is not Dictatorship.....but Interventionism - especially through Global Marketplace Manipulation. Fleeing is the intelligent thing to do. yes Many more are better off...than before The countries that made up the USSR were never Colonize but Annexed....like unto Texas Puerto Rico Hawaii and California The dissolution of the USSR...is the Balkanization of that Union - The present Russian Federation is in opposition to any further Fractionalization. Fine Yes...if she is justly compensated for her services no harm is done - All involved profited. We must cease the day of opportunity in the form it comes and make the best of it...without losing our sovereignty.

Nothing is fair about Neo-Colonialism To be a Neo-colonialist...you must first have been a Colonizer I see where you are coming from....Will Russia and China be Exploitative? Yes....if given the opportunity or reason to. Most would probable love to go live in a capitalist country...the USA in particular. Life in Cuba and Russia is Hard Rough and Tough....That is true in China - for less and less people now Yes Yes Wars....Russia's Colonialism? It was given by Political Activist to Russia stolen from America.....balance of powers Yes There is two types of Exploitation....Use and Abuse True...I remain confident we will do when the time is right. True.... When Standing it helps to know some one has your back

Very True... If Past Behavior remains the best predictor of future behavior then.....both Russia and China have showed and proven themselves immensely fairer than the West True... They suffer from Brain Drain Cuba is one of the biggest exporters of Doctors globaly...especcially during the recent Covid pandemic. True We are our greatest threat..... Neither Russia or China wants to tangle with us. And They will only do so if their very existence is threaten True It took Russia approximately 70 yrs to move from the bottom of the Europeans nation to the 2nd most powerful country in the world...it only took China 45 yrs to move from third world country to arguable the biggest economy today

As Far as I can tell it was mainly about Nuclear Power I think they want the energy at this point.....not nuclear weaponry That is the whole idea behind deception.....make victories look miniscule and losses look catastrophic. I do not think the US is worried about codes and maybe they should be....The seem more concern with the machines that make the machines that produce chips

True...so am I So far they have Arms deals with Russia Turkey and Iran....to purchase weapons no Western country would provide them with. This new Energy deal with Russia is a game changer......could be the boost Africa's burgeoning Industrialization need. No two countries are the same.....but they share Russia as a commonality in their struggle for independence. It is true that Cuba is economical poor....Medically and Educationally it is Rich Not sure about China being Favored or Allowed

It is a contionuation of the Doctrine of Discovery and the Doctrine of Conquest.....basically Law of the Jungle - The Strong will rule over the weak... Now Codified into American Foreign Policy as the Monroe Doctrine

True.... To each his own That maybe the case....but these so called "black Pawns" may end up with nuclear power.... True and valid Hmm...so Russia could be feigning Incompetence in Ukraine Its all about Money Greed and Power True Why is it Amusing? Yes and I still am. Yes....but that is the way Cuba and China got from under the heel of the West I consider China self-suffiecent and prosperous.....do you?

GAME CHANGING DEVELOPMENT.... if carried through As France and sadly two African countries try to undermine Burkina faso Niger and Mali Alliance.... Russia pulls a move reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis.... Excluding India and Apartheid South African Burkina Faso might become the first Black African Countries to gain Nuclear ability... Ibrahim Traore Just received Nùclear_Weapons from Russia. DAKAR, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Burkina Faso and Russian state nuclear company Rosatom on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for construction of a nuclear power plant in the landlocked Sahel West African state, Burkina Faso's energy ministry said in a statement. The nuclear power plant will enable the country to meet its energy needs, it said, adding that the agreement was signed by energy and mines minister Simon-Pierre Boussim, and Nikolay Spasskiy, Rosatom's deputy director general. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/burkina-faso-russias-rosatom-sign-agreement-nuclear-power-plant-2023-10-13/

We have been through this already To Apprehend Color one must use Visual perception/sense of sight/seeing....while to recognize Tangibility one must use the sense of Touch.... So if I was to blindfold you....all other things being equal except for color - you would be able to tell whether is was a black skin penis or white skin penis you were touching? Please explain? Yes....but not a diference in Kind but - one of Degree.. All the Forces in the Human Body Can be found In Nature....or its Correspondent

If that is true then the bible condones kidnapping......Which it does not When they came they announce themselves as Joshua'Servants In verse 8 of that same chapter"8 “We are your servants,” they said to Joshua." it seems Joshua do not know his servants. Leviticus 25:10 Contemporary English Version This fiftieth year is sacred--it is a time of freedom and of celebration when everyone will receive back their original property, and slaves will return home to their families. Deuteronomy 15:16 & 18 16 But if your servant says to you, “I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, 18 Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because their service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do. We have a fundamental difference of understanding of the what the verse means and implies given the corresponding verses I provide as to the situation it addresses. I understand to you The Words plainly mean what they say....fine Do we agree that the slavery describe is much different from European style Enslavement of African??? I stand by my statements....The bible does not support chattel slavery.

Sounds Awful....and it would be - if it was European Style of Slavery. Which it is not....no slave catchers no slaves traders no slaves market and no victims of kidnap forced into slavery....except for cases involving the spoils of war nearly all enslavement is voluntary meaning the enslave wanted and agreed to it without physical coercion. Every 7 or 50 yrs Manumission Enfranchisement - Set free If the master harms the enslaved....the master will be punished and the enslave compensated and or freed If the master kills the enslaved.....the enslaved will be avenged or the master punished - very likely the master will be killed in return(eye for an eye) Like unto Servitude.. as in Work Visa Applicant. To be more exact it's akin to a Green Card holder in the USA today...Permanent Resident Worker Status. Those who do not want to be passed down forever....Farm Worker Status H-2A or Non-Agricultural/Special Skills H-2B.

That's great... It is also necessary that you understand what you read...

Diet and Climate has a lot to do with phenotype Please explain relevance..... "Just like a penis is tangible...dark brown skin is also tangible." ?? Nature is all..... yet still there is much Variety and Diversity From Oneness comes.....Infinite Possibilities

Why Would you think I am Justifying Slavery?

Racist have been saying that for decades but all their socalled scientific evidence to support that claim has been shown to be false. Race is pure and simple a socio-political construct develop by racist to oppress a certain set of people... Just because I am slim and my sibling is fat doesn't mean we are of different races.... Jane Elliott created a new race based on eye color alone...And demonstrated how racism develop Make it make sense please??? True ...so lets move on to forces with in Nature and in the Human Mind Body and Spirit....and how they can and do interact.

I know you can read but i am not sure ofyour comprehension Your refusal to acknowledge the two verse and there importance to the very concept of what slavery is....causes my to question either your intellectual honesty or understanding The truth is the bible neither supports or condones slavery In Name only...Nothing near to or in any way like chattel slavery or African enslavement in the Americas 1600-1800. Here is three more verses: New American Bible Revised Edition Exodus 21:12 Whoever strikes someone a mortal blow must be put to death Exodus 21:20-21 When someone strikes his male or female slave with a rod so that the slave dies under his hand, the act shall certainly be avenged. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. Exodus 21:26-27 When someone strikes his male or female slave in the eye and destroys the use of the eye, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the eye. If he knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the tooth I show you the scripture that advises slaves to escape when and if possible ....are you dening that is what the scripture says? That is to the slaves benefit....it is the slaves choice as to whether or not he wants to continue on with that family... I see @Chevdove did a partial hermeneutics on that verse... I will add that not being able to live with their former master they have no land to live on they then will have to return from whence they fled and possible face persecution or go into a new land where they may indeed become chattel slaves or worse Todays vernacular what I explain above is called green card denied/revoke or immigrantion status persona non grata...capisce. No....The enslave chose enslavement If the slave in question is not a Prisoners of War....Then the slave sold themself into bondage If the slave is a Prisoner of War then....The slave chose enslavement over execution. in both cases the individual chose their fate As an aside William Wilberforce had to prove to the british parliment that the bible was against slavery ...as a result the racist made a slave bible with 65% of the bible missing and change much of the present bible...Wilberforce writing and arguments are still not in the public domain
