I'm so grateful for @Delano starting this thread! Whew! That guy is stressful. Like you @Troy, I was loving how @Cyniquewould get at him! LOL.

@Cynique Yes! Thanks for posting! I am so happy for our girls! Prandini is still my favorite but I also love the new kid on the block Abby! Of course, I am still cheering for the Jamaican girls too. They are queens.

No it's not the same. This behavior was not pre-determined. No, a generation is not 30 years. It would correlate to a century. lol. this is depressing for me, but 430 is a repetitive historical record. I don't understand 'numerology' but I think it has something to do with that too. I too feel like we have already reached that time though, but there are other factors too, that does seem to make me feel like we are approaching some kind of 'end times', so perhaps, history is happening now. It may be unfolding now. Baal and Ashterroth has nothing to do with Black African people.

Moses Was NOT the Only One to Prophecy the Slave Ship Trade Specifically, Moses and most of the major prophets did not only prophesy about slavery and the selling of human beings into slavery by ship, but they pinpointed the most critical time period that did not occur until thousands of years after the rise and fall of many great civilizations. Even though slavery and the sale of humans by means of shipping happened in the old world, the prophecy written down in the Bible was about one main epoch: the Transatlantic Slave Ship Trade. Why though? What was so critical to write about this event to the affect that the very first author of the Holy Bible wrote about it as did other prophets in ancient times? What purpose would be served to write about the slave trade that occurred in North America so far in time and long after even the rise and fall of the powerful Roman Empire? Does it seem too hard to believe that mankind could see into the future to predict something on that scale, an event which did come to past!? Not only did the Transatlantic Slave Ship Trade happen but, it operated for about two hundred (200) years! Now it has been brought to past! To imagine that Moses was made to know about this event, to view it as a terrible circumstance and then to write it down in detail gives immeasurable depth to the scope of understanding. Howbeit, Moses only wrote about certain detailed aspects of this horrible time that is now history. Through research, it has become apparent that Moses was not the only one to prophecy about the slave ship era, and furthermore, without the prophecy of other aspects of it, written down by other authors born long after Moses’ time, then the genuine purpose for the Creator God in having this major event prophesized by his servants would be missed. Certainly, there are more than one reason for this crucial prophecy of the enslavement of humans for life, but one of the most important reasons the LORD God had his servants record this great evil revolves around this early scripture: [15] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. GENESIS 3:15. The prophecy of the setup of chattel slavery byway of the Slave Ship Era of the New Age MARKS the HEAD of the Great Adversary. In other words, this prophecy confirms the very government of the Anti-Christ, a system that attacks the ‘seed of the woman’. Of course, then, the ENMITY that came between Satan’s seed and ‘the woman’s seed’ would be Jesus Christ and He would bruise the Head or government of Satan. But Satan would be successful at bruising the heel of Jesus of which most Bible scholars interpret this as meaning that Satan would be able to persecute Jesus’ and his people, but he would not be able to destroy the government of God. John the Revelator wrote during the Roman Empire times that ‘the GOVERNMENT [ie. BEAST] with the Deadly wound was healed’ and so, after the fall of the First Roman Empire, then it would rise again after a thousand years for the second and last time as written in prophecy. And the second time that the Roman Empire rose, the prophets wrote that it would be identified by several unique markers one of which would be the slave ship trade. Therefore, the purpose of the prophecy of the slave ship trade was to identify the future government of the Great Adversary of which mostly all the prophets wrote about. The great civilization of prophecy was written about in such a way that makes it seem like a fantasy, a distant land of enchantment, a fairytale. During the time of the Roman Empire, this mythical utopian-like world was not completely revealed where it would exist. As awesome as Rome had been, the prophets wrote about another future ‘Second Rome’ or ‘Second Babylon’ breath taking land to set up and nothing on earth had ever come close to even compare to it at that time. One prophesy was that Satan would set his goal to set up his throne in the heavens. Would this great civilization be on another planet? Depiction of rover on Mars The prophet Daniel offered great detail about the rise of this magnificent system and then the prophet John the Revelator wrote in much detail about its’ utter destruction. The prophet Malachi wrote about the one-third prophecy of destruction of it and that the whole earth would be affected as well. Our solar system would be affected, and the planets would not revolve around the sun as it does today. The landforms on the earth would be drastically changed but a new pristine landform would also manifest. And Jesus Christ said that many of the ‘Children of the Kingdom’ would also be a part of this great destruction and he spoke indirectly about the prophecy of the one-third earth destruction as well and that the earth will split. Hundreds of years before the First Coming of Jesus, Daniel and also Solomon wrote about the Second Coming of Jesus, a time that would also begin the rise of the ultimate government ever to set up. So, even though the prophecy of the slave ship era marks the rise of this great civilization of the Anti-Christ, however, the purpose of this prophecy would be to pinpoint a very powerful government to rise that would also be oppressive to select people. This prophecy about the slave ship trade to occur thousands of years after Moses was born and died, was written to identify the Anti-Christ government, a government completely opposed to the government of God. In other words, chattel slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Ship Trade would mark the new world Roman Empire government. Again, Moses only wrote about particular aspects of the slave ship era, however, there were other prophets that also wrote in detail about this incredible horror, the slave ship trade, of which did not come to past until thousands of years later. More importantly, without the other distinct details that also occurred during this specific time of the government of the Anti-Christ written down by other prophets, then it would be impossible to believe that mankind could have pinpointed such an incredible future ‘history’ with such accuracy and reassure us today, that it was indeed a great evil that God will not excuse. Satan will have us believe that God would condone inherited slavery of his creation as an eternal way of life. Surprisingly, Moses’ wrote about one specific aspect of the slave trade era, a time way beyond its initial setup and the very time that my own ancestor was stolen from Africa. The modern slave ship era began not long after the expedition of Columbus in A.D. 1492. The earliest European expeditions into Africa where the slave system revolved around was byway of the Dutch Nederlanders, the Portuguese and the Spaniards. Many of the African victims of these Europeans slavers were stolen from Africa and taken to many distant lands around the world. However, in DEUTERONOMY Chapter 68, Moses wrote specifically about a time period that did not occur until very late into the slave ship trade during the A.D. 1800s. Astonishingly, this prophecy can be confirmed with amazing accuracy due a scientific innovation that was the only reason slave ships could have even had a chance to go up into Egypt at that very port that Moses wrote about! This prophecy of Moses would also be confirmed with shocking historical records as well as the trade ports of that region were extremely strategic in that region not too long after Napoleon’s expeditions and that of the pashas. The Suez Canal constructed in ancient times by the earliest Egyptians and during the later Persian Empire times had been silted up and were long gone. The access to the Red Sea byway of the Ramesses and the later Greeks from Lower Egypt were locked and the access to the Red Sea was not possible by ship. Although slave ships sailed south of Egypt and into the ports of Ethiopia, however, it was not until the invention of steam ships that no slave ships were able to sail up into Egypt in that shallow area to even become a part of the Arab Slave trade or the British slave ship trade! And after a very brief time period and after my ancestor was stolen from that part of Northeast Africa, did the Slave Ship Trade end. So although the time period was brief in that region of Egypt of the Arab Slave Trade and the British Slave Trade, however, it did happen. Even though the British had outlawed the slave ship trade in 1807, their ships were there in Egypt! WOW! This slave trade in the New World lasted for hundreds of years and the other writings in the Holy Bible further confirm how important this act against humanity has been viewed in the eyes of our God the Creator, and it will not go unpunished.

There is a valid map in the Igbo region that was marked as such due to the kind of Black Africans that were concentrated there. And, the names in America does reflect this too, it doesn't matter that White Supremacist marked it as such, they did so because of the kind of slaves they deposited in these regions in America as well. In South Carolina, my people are right now today, in areas with those very names, and they are indeed from Northeast Africa where these name originate. no, they don't question. DNA has proven truth. As far as Moses' prophecy, I've responded before when the subject comes up, that is my family history. My great grandmother was stolen from that part of Northeast Africa, the only area hit with slave trade at that time and it was only a brief 10 year span due to the major conflicts of that region with the Arab slave trade, the Pashas of Egypt, the White Muhammad Ali movement from Turkey, etc.

Was King Tut Black? Did He Look African? This video showed up on my channel and whenever these topics about ancient Egypt are featured, as they usually are consistently today, I always tune in. I strongly believe that this aspect of ancient history about Africa and Ancient Egypt, would be a crucial aspect in understanding our human plight today. I remember about twenty years ago, when the subject of what King Tut really looked like came up and was featured in the National Geographic, how many Black people became outraged that the scientist at this time, revealed their findings in that King Tut was anything but Black. Oh! Black people raged all across the globe and saw this news break as a complete insult. I remember when I was very young how so many Black Power men back in the 1960's would sport a traditional necklace of what they believed to be a beautiful Black African queen 'Nefertiti' and this particular necklace portrayed her as being 'Negroid'. Like King Tut, Nefertiti was a part of this ancient Egyptian government. It seems this topic continues to intrigue people all over the world and whenever King Tut and the dynasty that he was a part of are featured in today's news, it strikes a lot of interest. Now, because of my own research, yes! I will always tune in when I see this dynasty, the 18th Dynasty, featured in the news because, I believe this aspect of ancient African history is vital to understand. Unfortunately, I believe that if Black people continue to believe King Tut was a typical Negro-typed man, they will continue to believe in a lie. Was he Black, well that answer depends on relativity? Relative to his ancestry, he would definitely carry past genes that link him to an African origin, but did he look like he was a Negro? Considering all of the deformities and birth defects that he physically portrayed as well as being light skinned, I don't think the issue of King Tut being 'a Negro-typed' man is relevant. By the time he was born, his ancestry was very debauched for a very important reason and also due to a major movement that had been going on in that part of North Africa for a long time. Being born as an ALABASTER EGYPTIAN became an obsession at that time. So even though today's news reports keep featuring this ancient dynasty in Egypt and in which sparks a lot of subsequent articles of whether or not, these Egyptians were either White or Black and continuing confusion, still the whole truth is not published. And so, because the whole truth continues to be 'hidden', many Black people continue to get angry at the portrayal of King Tut and also the famous Nefertiti for not being portrayed as Black. This then, is the purpose and motivation, that Black people do not comprehend. Why would today's scientist not show the truth to prove that White Supremacy did infiltrate Egypt so that Black people can deal with that truth? Why do they continually put out deception; part truths and suppress the scientific facts that would help Black people to see the truth? Anyway, I do like this recent film about what King Tut looked like in real like because it does report some facts. Nevertheless, the whole truth, which is amazing, still continues to be completely omitted. However, I decided to post this brief video because I hope to share some of my research in lieu of this recent publication about King Tut.

Wow! But come to think about it now, after reading your comment @Pioneer1I do remember years back in the 1990's meeting a Middle Eastern woman and she also spoke on these same lines! She told me that before she came over here, her husband and she were required by their government to take a class. In this class, they were shown films on how NOT to go to certain communities due to high crime. They were given demonstrations on how to react if they were mugged, etc. But what surprised me mostly was that she told me, the whole time they were taking this class [a night class] and given instructions, they were never told that the bad communities were due to Black African Americans. She said that they were told that America had bad neighborhoods and crime ridden areas, but no one in the Middle East had any idea that Black people lived in America. She pretty much told me that in the Middle East where she was from [Palestine] they were led to believe that Black AfroAmericans were all killed off. She said that when she finally came here, she was totally shocked that Black people were living in America.

Thank you @Mel HopkinsI did not know this! I was very skeptical and appreciate your comment very much. Yes. For so long, America is known as the superpower.

Gun terror in America This showed up on my channel. After watching, I thought about how other countries and peoples view us here in America. Just how does media influence the way other people think about America today? Is the gun violence really the way that this report portrays? I did not realize it was on this scale from the viewpoint of others outside of America until I watched this video.

Who? Certainly not all of us, however, you may know something about your own family history. What!? @Pioneer1She is absolutely right! The historical basis of what she has referred to his historical. There is an early map and history about that part of West Africa and was known as the land of Judah. Also, my ancestor is linked to this very history as well, on my maternal father's side. In addition, there has been extensive scientific DNA links of Black African people in this region that match the DNA of Isrealite people in East and South Africa. Again, you are ignoring the scientific confirmations. As I have said, my son had a DNA test and matched our family stories just as I had told him. No, the Biblical prophesy of Moses is exact and has come to past. AfroAmericans come from many places from Africa, not just Egypt and Ethiopia. Yes, we Black people have been exploited by White Supremacist from all walks of life. And had it not been for the Protestant Movement we would not know about the Black African presence in the Bible. I am grateful.

No, and here's why; The scriptures based judgement on 'a particular government' initially and this means that God judges from the HEAD of a system first. It's defined as the judgement of the 3rd and 4th generation. This is repeated over and over in the scriptures. That's why after 430 years, the Egyptian government was judged at this time. Their hidden agenda manifested over a period of 3-to-4 generations and just as predicted; White Supremacy set up and so did HOMOSEXUALITY and PEDOPHILIA! The Bible defines the government of Satan in the Old Testament as the set up of BAAL and ASHTEROTH and this is just what happened in Egypt. As I said many times before, Satan's government is also defined as being MATRIARCHAL. But we, ADOS are living proof that even after slavery, most of us are obsessed with White Supremacy. So no, this has not worked at all. Mankind has proven to be stubborn. So God's Plan will eventually stump out all of this White Supremacy.

@Pioneer1 Not just Abraham's seed but other people of Black-African descent too fall into this prophecy. The reason why God has allowed our people to fall into this prophecy is partly because of 'free will' and due to this free will, our ancestor chose to copulate with a White Supremacist being. Another reason would be because after this Original Sin, the Creator did not want to destroy us all, as he knew due to this first sin, the whole human race was cursed. Because he did not want to scrap the whole African 'race', he decided to orchestrate a plan of redemption and give those of us a chance to choose to come out of this White Supremacist mindset. We suffer for the sins of our ancestors. So by the time that Abraham's progeny manifested, the civilization of Mesopotamia was ancient and the Egyptian civilization became powerful and were about to repeat the same acts as the Sumerians; they began to allow White Supremacy to set up. So, the Bible denotes the prophecy in that Abraham progeny would be 'the control group' of African-typed people that would be pawned in this Egyptian system WHICH DID SET UP has prophesized. And then, this Egyptian system collapsed AS PROPHESIZED and the people of Abraham eventually had their chance to set up their civilization. So the Bible states that God would also throw the people of Abraham down too, for they too succumbed to White Supremacy. Therefore, God is not only in favor of Abraham's seed. However, the main reason that they were chosen to be sort of like 'the control group' is due to their foundation, that is the man, Abram [ie Abraham]. The other earlier African-typed civilizations completely left off from their original MONOTHEISTIC origins and embraced White Supremacy and Idolatry. Because, in GENESIS Chapter 15; it states that Sin of the Amorites needed to be completely manifested. The Hidden agenda of Satan and White Supremacy had not been exposed and therefore, Black AFrican people would all be lost if we do not comprehend the whole conflict of evil. For me personally, this hurts. It's depressing however, I do understand it. White Supremacy and Colorism is global and an obsession with the human race, however, from God's POV, it is not important. But if we don't understand this hidden agenda even amongst people of Color, the whole human race is useless. That is the key phrase; 'in the end'. . . The end times is defined as a long period of time still to come. it is the BEGINNING of world judgment as is prophesized in the Bible. A TIME AND A SEASON = 1090 years period. According to the Bible, the government of mankind will end but a new government will form on this planet. According the Bible too, a lot of Black African people are going to be very disappointed too, because this new government that is prophesized to form will not be based on mankind's choice, but it's based on inheritance.

@Cynique Great point! This gives me more appreciation of the track women sporting tattoos. Sense of humor!? I just watch a classic old film and was reminded of the hairstyles worn that show Black women hairstyles were copied especially during the 1950 and 60s. Hairspray was used to old the hairstyles in place.

Interesting. When @Stefan and @ProfDmentioned issues about whether civil or criminal, I wonder too, if it matters when it comes to people about the issue of just how important it is to bring the person to justice. This topic made me think about the young man that was killed in Georgia when he was jogging. I did not think that it would be a serious issue. But then because the African Americans would not let it go and continued to press the issue, to my amazement, the case was heard and three White men were prosecuted, found guilty and imprisoned. One of the men charged filmed the young man and later it came out that he made so awful statements that later was used to show his guilt.

@ProfD Brilliant! I have not forgotten that 'movement' and presidential time period, however, I did not know about the aspect of 'mandatory sentencing guidelines'. I've learned something today.

Thank you much @Delano! Lol! I going to get me some Pumas asap! Thank you. @CyniqueIt took a while, but as you said, I love this sport.

Repost videos -- edit Jenna Prandini Finishes Behind Sha'Carri (10.75) in 100m at Star Athletics (June 4, 2022)

Field & Track Women—Hairstyles I just want to reflect on something else today because I am weary of all of depressing media hype about mass shootings and killing Black people. So, I want to share something about spectator about spectator sports, and something that I like to watch that inspires me to be active and set goals for getting better physical, mental and emotional health. The competition has begun! A few days ago, the recent track and field meets have showed up on my channel and I am amazed at these awesome and powerful beauties. And at first glance, it may not seem to be the main focus, however recently, what seems obvious to me would be the significant differences in the hairstyles displayed of some of the top Black female athletes from the recent past. Is this a brief trend? In the past few widely internationally broadcasted events, some athletes on the starting lineup were pictured with flamboyant and brightly colored or long, blonde, and bone-straight hairstyles. Obviously, it was done so to make a statement just as in the past some athletes donned unique and ‘signature’ uniforms and I am reminded of the late and incredible Flo Jo. But so far, in the few competitions that have occurred recently no one has started the line up as in the past events. My all-time favorite Track and field Olympian, Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce, whose other devotion, her hair salon back in Jamaica, stepped out recently with on the field with a lovely dark and braided hairstyle. Shelley-Ann Frase-Pryce No matter though, she looks adorable and so elegant in whatever style she has worn, IMO. Another ‘new’ world favorite athlete, Elaine Thompson-Herah has seemingly burst onto the world scene out of nowhere and now has become a household name for many. She steps onto the field with the most lovely and classy type hairstyles recently but, for me it’s her glow and her smile that shows her beauty. Elaine Thompson-Herah And to my surprise, our own American athlete stepped out with a beautiful appearance, Sha’Carri Richardson. She already wins hands down on being a beauty anyway though, but she also came back on the field with a blast. Richardson came in second behind Thompson-Herah in one of her races. Sha'Carri Richardson These recent and awesome women of the track and field today, have inspired me to contemplate and do more research history about how Black African women have had to deal with so much controversy over our hair. And what new stories I have found! But as for now, due to so much talent today and the new winners, it gives me great inspiration to add some more new favorites to my list and to share. Some of these athletes have consistently dominated their race so well, that it can be expected that they will be celebrated for a long time. Like Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce who has become a legend of all times, however, there are some new wonders. Of course, my other all-time past favorite also competed recently, Allyson Felix, and it was said that this would be her last time. But now, there are a few more lovely superwomen to cheer on such as that pretty girl, Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith, the lovely Swiss’ Mujinga Kambundji, Jamaica’s doll Shericka Jackson, our lovely New Jersey lady Athing Mu and the smart beauty who just dominated her race, Gabby Thomas and more. Ironically for me too, would be that although the past hairstyles have been eye-catching, what seems more amazing would be the age of some of these athletes who have dominated and won the foot race. This has given me the most inspiration to believe that I can get up and do something healthier to combat my health problems today. In my middle age though, I sometimes look back in time when I was younger and imagine myself sprinting that fast, but at the end of my dream I always have this re-occurring imagery of me coming through the finish line with a complete horrendous falling to the ground with a horrible horse-like uncontrollable breathing and inevitably ankle-rolling into a blundering crash with my arms flinging wildly and hitting the ground first with one knee and then enduring a complete earth-smacking, elbow-knee roll, covering a large area before finally coming to a miserable end. This fear sort of reminds me of a time when, as a gymnast, my coach believed that I was a sprinter and so, she one day abruptly surprised me and moved the springboard far away from the horse and told me to sprint into my vault. I panicked. I was so angry at her and imagined that I was going to crash into that horse and kill myself. I pulled if off successfully to my shock and surprise. But now, I have also considered being inspired by an older group of athletes who run the marathon too. Nevertheless, the older track and field stars deserves the glory that they have earned! Allyson Felix not only gave birth, but she stepped onto the field at the age of 36. And incredibly all of the women trailed far behind the Jamaican wonder Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce who stepped up to the challenge at the age of 35 and after she also gave birth recently. But now, I have a new favorite that stepped onto the field at the age of 29 and some sports experts believe that she stands to improve her time. This amazing PEARL recently came in close behind her American teammate, Sha’Carri Richardson and in another recent race, she stayed in second place behind Fraser-Pryce until the last moment, Jenna Frandini. When I think about this beauty, I think about Delano who also has some pearls in his life. Jenna Frandini replaced Richardson in the Tokyo 4X 100m relay and led our U.S. team to claim the silver. Recently, Frandini clocked in at 10.75 in a 100m race. It’s impossible not to watch her run over and over and over again and not spring up as she approaches the finish line. Like Elaine Thompson-Herah, it seems as if Jenna Frandini might become another household name. So I would love to share some brief clips and videos of my inspirations.

Yes, I agree. They were definitely Originally Black people! Again, they worshiped White people; they were White supremacist that is why the Roman Empire was able to set up--THE AMORITES. Again, I agree that the Original Amorites such as the ones named to form a Confederacy with Abraham written in ancient scripture were definitely Black. They were also called MOORS. I know. But the Canaanite Hittites migrated from the east and stem from the East world Hittites of ancient Anatolia. Yes, but they were anything but peaceful. I realize that the later Amalekites also identified with the Jebusites, and this name became part of Egyptian history too. Just like the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, they had many Mother--son sexual relationships and marriages and offspring...

@Delano THANKS! This was a great break down.

This is true. Unfortunately, this is a problem. Absolutely. And to add to this, a lot of these young students come into the classroom and share the adult conversations that they hear and etc. ... especially because we are also taxpayers! SIDE NOTE: I can't even count on two hands how many times I had to deal with 'bullying situations' that came from other parents and teachers against my kids! BUT I feel so hurt for the Grandfather in this situation because, I know that he won't have much help from the community. I am reminded though of one of several times, I refuse to let my son become destroyed by a decision adults made against him: ... a senior, 4.00+ GPA, exemplary student, and I because I did my usual periodical check, I learned that he was striped of his title as DRUM MAJOR because the band director was supported by the principal and parents to 'secretly have tryouts and chose 2 rich White students to be co-drum majors for the spring. My son was so depressed, he never told me. Mostly ALL OF THE STUDENTS ADORED HIM, so I know he was in so much pain. THE DAY I FOUND OUT, I became deeply depressed and wanted to die, but I could not allow my son to hurt. So, I drove to the band practice that day, which happened to be the day before the Winter concert, walked onto the stage and told that band director... I am so sorry you made this mistake, but my son is the drum major for the whole year... she dropped her band stick and turned red. My fist was balled up.... I expected to be taken downtown but I did not care. She told me the principal supported her, so I went to meet him. BUT when I walked into the office, the other 2 vice principals, BLACK MEN, to my surprise, was just as angry as I had been. So they both told me they would go into the meeting with me... I told that principal, this school is run on taxes... Those students can start a private club if they want to but they better NOT be wearing the school name! He told me that I should not get that upset about 'Titles' so, I told him then you should not have any problem taking it back! Long story short; I got a call from the principal that next day and he apologize and said that it was insensitive to do that to my son. So he step on the podium that next night and all the sweet little kids in the band played so hard, I thought they would faint. Most of the fathers --WHITE MEN--ran up to me at the end of the concert and raved about my son! They were just as angry as I had been at the bossy band mothers. And the kids actually hated the other rich kids that was picked to replace my son.

I do believe too, that the media is giving people a false impression and it sure is stressful, but I also feel that this is not just media hype. I think this is a deliberate act and the media is only part of the problem. Just yesterday there was a new breaking story of a mass shooting near Camp David at some machine factory, but imo, it was NOT a mass shooting! Unfortunately, three people have died. But how can about three or so victims be considered 'a mass shooting'? I remember years ago, in Florida at a club called THE PULSE, about 50 people were victims of a shooting--NOW THAT WOULD BE A MASS SHOOTING, imo. Well, it may not be 'a race war' but the way these issues are going, someone is trying to exploit the idea and because Black people are a minority, it seems like, if we jump and respond in a vengeful fashion, it won't be a race war, but a genocidal action against us. That's just how I feel. We need to affectively rebut this exploitation against our humanity in some way though, but how? Should we just sit, wait and vote for the government leaders to come up with a solution to stop this craziness?

@Pioneer1 NONE of these scriptures define Slavery! I responded somewhat to this topic in times past, especially in a thread started by a man named 'Tazarah'. The historical background on the people in these scriptures would help you to have a better understanding. I will recount a brief story that might help to understand this scripture: I met a Palestinian woman years back [I have written about this before]. She and her husband told me that my husband was 'An original Israelite'. He is 'a Negro'; my husband is 'a Black Native' American. This Palestinian woman was completely captivated at the presence of my husband, and she said that she was so afraid of him due to her experiences in Palestine and Israel. Therefore, one day, she finally decided to tell me that, her husband would have to get up from his nap and come and sit into the living room every time we came over their apartment. She further explained that Palestinians have to pay a yearly 'tribute' to Israel, and they resent this. She also said that when she was going through the airport to go to America, an Israelite male employee at the checkpoint angrily threw her passport down. The whole time that she was talking about this, she was holding her face with her two hands, as if she were afraid. But my husband and I, were confused as to why this was so important for her to tell us. So to better explain this story, I believe it correlates to 'UNTO THIS DAY' like 'government service works'. It has nothing to do with your understanding of SLAVERY. This was a choice that Solomon made. He did not cause any of his people to be IN BONDSERVITUDE, meaning contractual service of a 7-year period. BUT, the first scripture you cited cannot be understood without getting a better understanding from an historical point-of-view. So, I will explain a little. WHEN it comes to 1KINGS 9:20, this needs to be understood from an historical basis and I've explained a little before. But the history of these people is massive and books could be written about them. So I'll try to be brief: the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, Prior to the timeline of the Exodus, these peoples were already ancient. They were a well -developed peoples and had an historical culturalism. AMORITES--these people are Canaanites. They were known for later being empire builders and from them over a thousand years later came the ROMAN EMPIRE. Anyone can see this in their very name AMORA--ROMA in reverse. Specifically, the Amorites are White Supremacist. HITTITES--the Bible records them many times along with their 'Black origins'-- The people of HETH & the Hittites. Or, the Children of HETH and the Hittites. They became a dominant people of trade in ancient Anatolia. Hittites are White Supremacist. Jebusites-- Another culture of Canaanites. their root name JEBUS stems from a certain cognitive word that means 'EARTH PEOPLE'. from them came a lot of giants. And this common issue of the Jebusites stems from their culture of practicing incest and more importantly; Pedophilia. I will stop here because I don't know much about the Hivites and Perizzites. But, due to these issues, would be why the scriptures speak of Joshua and his forces coming against them during the time after the Exodus. So, it was their culture that is an affront but what needs to be stressed too, would be that the individualism is being ignored. Many of these people --genetically speaking-- became a part of the makeup of Israel too. So, it is not the individual but the culture that is being addressed.

THANK YOU! Just a day ago, there was another article about a P.E. teacher who knocked the tooth out of a little boys' mouth. IMO, it was an accident, but the poor kid was wronged! However, the administration, applauded the teacher for her years of teaching and the parents would not let that go! They pressed. It was a White family but nevertheless, no one wanted to go after that teacher. But finally, that teacher was fired. I believe that in this case too, that teacher should be fired, NOT just put on you tube. I am just glad it was not my conflict, because I would not be as calm as that grandfather. I am speaking from experience...

What!? @StefanI want to know more about this.
