How we lived before they came - This is our true story!

We lived as a people, set in our ways and traditions. We had love and romance, and we had our issues and battles but we had a way to resolve them. Like other societies, we had subordinates but we were kind and friendly to them. Then came strangers interested in us as slaves and merchandise. They pitched us against one another and prevailed on us with their guns and ideas. But we stood their treatment and fought to defend ourselves. And while they treated us like slaves, we knew in our hearts that we were human, children of God, and great warriors of life!

Like someone said before me, people have to calm down. This happened hundreds of years ago, and there is nothing we can do about it now except learn from these mistakes and usher in a new era of tolerance and peace. There is no difference if you're black, white or brown. We are all Human. Let's treat each other more humanely.

@kaunas888 Dont forget that although some Africans did sale their brothers/sisters into slavery they unknowingly sold theme into a form different from what was practiced by them. In Africa a slave was still treated and seen as human,had rights,could earn their freedom and higher status there children were born FREE in the Americas they were treated no better then animals. They  were lied to,raped,beaten,tortured,denie­d basic rights and robbed generations of their freedom. Their was a difference

@christellisspeaks But it's not my fault. My ancestors didn't own slaves.

@bazzatheblue Then your a pussy. It wasn't right but we were not evil. It was survival of the fittist and it just happened. I am very proud of my heritage and european white race. You were brainwashed into hating yourself. Be proud that we have so much good in us and our race; science, innovation, family, culture. Many races of people had slaves and were slaves. Not saying there wasnt evil but there is evil people everywhere.
