If you just don't give a fuck, then you just don't give a fuck. I can't stop anybody from throwing their heritage away. I cannot force anyone to care about the issues and the topics. I cannot encourage anyone to get excited about talking about issues pertaining to black people. I simply do not have that ability. If the mammy wants to cling to her hot comb then so be it. If the bitch nigger wants to cling to his texturizer then so be it. We have been getting fucked up the ass by psycho trauma from the white mans lies. And what have we done? Exactly. We laid bent over taking it with gritted teeth. And that's the position that we've been comfortable in for the longest. We do not want to break from his clenched fist grabbing at our shirts and foot on our necks, because we LOVE Massa. Massa we's sick?
NO! Massa you's sick!
I can rile you all up if I mention Lil' Wayne or Drake or BET but when I talk about shit that actually matters, like the state of Black people in America or defeating psychological slavery you all reject it. The Black woman is especially adamant about being so right about everything that she would dismiss all logic just to make her point. The American institutions have "educated" you and now because you have a white man's tongue you think that you know some shit don't you?
Well I am here to tell you that YOU KNOW NOTHING! You want knowledge? Then your history. And no I'm not talking about Columbus (faggot and cannibal) or George Washington (slave master). I am talking about The Gullah, African Holistic Health, the ancient civilization of Egypt, etc. All that other bullshit is irrelevant.
This generation is fucking retarded with a bunch of prideful, uneducated bastards who think they know it all. "Our President is Black" psh little nigger child, so was John Hansen under the Articles of Confederation, but you didn't know that now did you, hmmm???
The generation that birthed most of my gen. (1985 - 1990) have not re-educated us, or de-institutionalized us. The ignorance continues to plague our people and we simply don't care? Fuck it them. Go on ahead and enjoy your hair thinning by age 30 or death from a heart attack by 40 or diabetes, nutritional destruction and blahzie blahzie blahzie.
You have just been learnt you stubborn ass whores.
Fill the void of your punk ass existence in the toilet of your dreams.
Good day.

Arab Slave Trade
While Europeans targeted men in West Africa, the 'Arab' trade primarily harvested the women of East Africa to serve as domestic slaves, wet nannies and sex-slaves in the infamous harems. This trade trickled over millennia is estimated to have taken 10 million Africans via the Eastern route to India, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and also via the Trans-Saharan route to North Africa and the Mediterranean, where in slave markets such as Ceuta, Morocco, Africans were purchased to work as servants in Spain, Portugal, and other European countries.
This trickle trade really only boomed in the 18 th and 19 th century, prior to this period the trade between Arabia and Africa was more focused on iron, ivory and animal products. There is very little evidence in the sources to support the claim that slaving was ever a major enterprise of any significance prior to the 18 the century boom.
LEGACY AND DIFFERENCE
Arab enslavement of Africans was radically different from its European counterpart. It was more complex and varied depending on time and place. Thus the slavery seen in Iraq with the zanj was not similar to slavery in Zanzibar. Also 'Arab' is not a racial group, some Arabs are African and some are White and Jewish.
One of the biggest differences between Arab slaving and European slaving was that slaves were drawn from all racial groups and they were rarely used as a means of crop production; slaves were not the economic engine behind Arab economies. Arab slavery generally lacked large droves of sugar plantations where slaves toiled to the crack of a whip in the hot sun . Unlike the European trade in enslaved Africans the physical remnants of this trade are very hard to measure. There are no Ghettos, mental institutions or prisons holding African people. Many women stolen from Africa were stolen to serve the infamous Arabian harems; their children were thus born free to Arab fathers and thus would have been heirs to wealth and status, fully and equally assimilated into the population. Many African people thus rose to great stations by virtue of their Arab fathers. The infamous eunuchs were infertile, and the other men who were enslaved would have gradually married non-African women, hence facilitating the absorption of African culture and lineage into an Arab one. The contrasting differences between racial definitions on the Arabian continent as oppose to Europe assist in blending the majority of Africans stolen from Africa into the general population of Arabia. However, in the West there was no transcending “racial stigmas.”
ISLAM AND SLAVERY
When Islam arrived, war and servitude were features of African and Arabian life. Judaism existed among certain Arab tribes as well as Christianity, and like them Islam did not blatantly out law slavery; Islam did however blatantly outlawed chattel enslavement. The Qu'ran with every reference to slavery ask the believer to free the slave as atonement for sin, the term "emancipating a slave and feeding an orphan" are repeated constantly throughout the Qu'ran as acts which gain God's favor. Also there were regulations which enhanced the pre-Islamic laws with respect to the treatment of enslaved people. They were entitled to good care, to the same clothing and food as their masters. These enslaved people were more akin to indentured servants in Europe than Chattel slaves in the Americas.
They are your brothers whom Allah placed under your hands. Feed them with what you eat, clothe them with what you wear and do not impose duties upon them which will overcome them. If you so impose duties, then assist them.
Whoever kills his slave, we will kill him.
Whoever slaps his slave or strikes him, his atonement is to free him" (narrated by Muslim by the way of ibn Umar).
It became a fundamental principle of Islamic jurisprudence that the natural condition, and therefore the presumed status, of mankind was freedom. Despite this, there were the greedy and the vindictive that sought to make slaves of their Muslim brothers and sisters as well as other Africans. There were also many Christian and Jewish Arab tribes and well as other indigenous Arabs that continued their tradition of slaving. Because Islamic Sharia had laws pertaining to slavery it was seen by the opportunist as a natural God sanctioned feature of life. Conveniently, the numerous laws of manumission were given a social back seat.
Overzealous Europeans have always over-documented the Arab trade in enslaved Africans to alleviate their guilt concerning their own trade. "Well the Arabs did it too " became the common tone of contemporary historians. Sadly, many African-American historians who have only these European sources to infer history from have taken these second-hand guilt-massaging accounts as gospel. However, it is a well-known fact that Europeans in their artistic depictions of slave raids have always intentionally portrayed slave raiders as Muslim Africans or Arabs .
