Don't think there's a story to match in all the annals of recorded history. Rome controlled Gaul for 400 years after they conquered them, but the Gauls were at home. We've been behind enemy lines for 4 centuries and we're more than holding our own.
It's a trip. When we hear how certain tribes sold us to the crakkka, some of em told us we were sold because we were lazy or troublemakers. Basically useless.
But those who know better know how impossible that is. Potna of mine once said that the white man has never in his history gone anywhere on the planet and built a civilization on his own from the ground up. Everywhere he's gone the civilization was already established, and then the crakkka took over.
We've built from the ground up everywhere we've gone. Those of us the crakkka took from Africa were the cream of the crop. Those who knew agriculture, carpentry, different trades and craftsmen. They took those who already had the knowledge and ability to come over here and build up a country the right way, because the white man knew he couldn't do it. The lazy and weak among us couldn't have made it. Wouldn't have survived the crossing, or if they did they would've died off from the shock of the change in their condition once they hit these shores. Alotta of em didn't make it. Those who survived were made of the sternest stuff, please believe that. And that's who we descend from.
There's all kinds of pride there. And we should all remember this anytime some fool tries to make us feel bad concerning how some of us got here, and our history in this country with regards to slavery. Above all, our Honor is intact, and that means something. We didn't sell anybody out.
All this right here
