The myth

If the bible is just a book, then slavery is just a myth! This myth is perhaps the root of all the disfunction associated with "African" descendants around the world.



I always wanted to go to Italy.  I'm not sure what the fascination was, but the opportunity presented itself.  My family and I traveled to Barcelona, Spain to board a ship cruising throughout Italy.  Another life altering experience.  I did not do any research prior to visiting, because I was so excited. 

However, as soon as we touched down, my light bulbs starting going off!  It was absolutely beautiful!  Palms trees, everywhere!  Palm trees, I thought in Europe?!?.  I thought I would need a scarf, but wrong!  

 

In Italy they spoke as if they were oppressed once the "Greatness" left, but who were these Masters? I wondered...

I felt so good, when I was there. As if black people were some sort of phenomenon, but it is totally different in the States. 

Why is that all black history begins with slavery?  When you look in the dictionary the root of slavery is Slav.  Something is not right.  Google the definition of black

What does this do to someone's psyche when you call them black?

 

Is this the spell that these people have been put under?

Upon my return, I discovered that Spain was the last stronghold of the Moors.   The people who call themselves black, and descendants of "slaves" can trace themselves throughout history as Moors. 



Reverence is given to them even in our daily speech, when you say: good Morning, or even the most favorite, more. Amour, l'amour etc.  Honor and respect.

You may have heard the Africans were once kings, and queens, but all Budweiser had images of some.  In the history books these Moors were portrayed as slaves, but there contribution to civilization is so much more. 

Could it be that this perpetual myth, keep "black" people.   The definition of black is , so once it is said it is casting a spell.  It is time that the spell is broken, lives are lost, people are dying.  They once chanted I'm Black, and I'm proud, but let us not forget that pride is sin..
