Black family in Georgia passed down a song through the centuries after slavery. Researchers linked song to Mende tribe in West Africa.

I didn’t force nobody. It was just weird to me, considering I know about other Maroon history that doesn’t have this particular phenomenon.


Ok, that odd. And a rare occasion for Jamaica.

They were trying to live in peace.
Also note from the same article.

"This started the Second Maroon War. 300 Maroons in Trelawney Town held out against 1500 troops and 3000 local volunteer troops."

They were also fighting "volunteer troops". I would guess those troops were BLACK MEN, who were made promises.
Or felt the Maroons abandoned them, or were just haters who were jealous.

See parallels with blk confederates?

Fact is, they were outwitted, as is usually the case.
And to this day, the same tactics work.

Ok, they probably were sacred some of them folk would fukk it up for them.

Or felt that those who did not leave or rebel when they did

Should not benefit from what they struggled for

Seeing more parallels?
"affirmative action should be only for blk americans"

Humans are complexed.
And we tend to not view other peoples perspectives.

There are indeed many ways to look at it.

Are there any written down memorials from oral traditions? That may explain their position.

I am sure there are some.
I heard they returned slaves, and some say they were traitors/sellouts.
First time actually googling it.

The position is simple
Whether you selling your own in Africa or returning them in the Caribbean.
You want to survive, progress, and are responsible to your "tribe/people"

Even today, you might have a job you hate, you do it to survive and to feed your family.
Even if others suffer, for example selling liquor, drugs, mcdonalds, soda, etc etc

Folks make decisions everyday for themselves/family, that makes others suffer.

Some background information,

“This support continued until the Portuguese began to forcefully kidnap and capture the innocent pagan natives of West Africa which were brought into Portugal and sold as slaves in 1444, an action that was blessed and praised by the papacy as a heroic step taken towards the salvation of the poor souls of those Black African captives.”

"In the 1760s “Mulatresse Lene” was cassaret (married) to Danish interim governor and slave trader Frantz Joachim Kühberg in Osu on the Gold Coast. The local history of Ga-Danish families such as hers in Osu illustrates how Euro-African women on the West African coast could benefit from marrying European slave traders and could use these marriages to expand their room for maneuver in the coastal society. By marrying European men, christening their children, and sending them to the church school at the Danish fort, Euro-African women claimed a powerful intermediary position in the racialized social hierarchy of the Atlantic slave trade, and as they did so they helped reproduce this same racial hierarchy.

Yet Euro-African families were not just taking advantage of their position to widen their opportunities; they were also using it as a means of protection in a violent and stressful slave-trading environment. At the height of the slave trade in the second half of the eighteenth century, Africans participating in the slave trade—even elite Euro-Africans such as Kühberg and her family—were under pressure to protect themselves and their families from being sold across the Atlantic."

The question becomes, why didn’t they refer to themselves as Indian; coktaw etc at the time?

 

[Ish Gibor]

THAT might get you banned/bushed, I suggest leaving it alone.

To bring it back to that initial point. Here I found something interesting.

Excellent post. The saying "put yourself in another persons shoes" is the very best way to gain understanding.

It is as if you hear of a snitch who told on other slaves trying to escape.
Maybe the snitch knew the escape plan was a bad one, and EVERYBODY would be punished.
Feet cut off etc.

As it is mentioned that house slaves did not live in luxury, and were not happy.

The lady in the video appeared on the verge of crying at any second.
We need real truthful history, to progress and heal.

Some background information,






To be a little personal, those families of catholic/portuguese origin still exists today.
Some only have their names, some retained connections/power.
There are folks who strongly believe in legacy.
And plan for it.
