Slave was forced to have sex with other slaves

Lemme help you get some clarity by providing historical facts.

Quick history lesson, to understand the Black Diaspora as a complete puzzle.

The Portuguese set sail to West-Africa with a plan to colonize them. They start off by doing business with them in trade of goods and converting the local Africans to Christianity, their own doctrine.
They did this because it put Black ppl directly UNDER them in belief, so they would be receptive to their colonization which would lead into the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade.

Never forget, the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade started in Africa first.

The contact that the Portuguese had with Africans BACK THEN caused Creolization that can be traced back to TODAY.
Especially in Creole languages in the Caribbean, South-America and West-Africa.

In Portuguese,
Pequenino means “little one”
Pequeno means “little”

Because of their contact with West-Africans,
all the way in..

Nigeria, pikin means “child” (Nigerian Pidgin)
Cameroon, pikin means “child” (Cameroonian Pidgin)
Liberia, pikin means “child” (Liberian Pidgin)
Sierra Leon, pikin means “child” (Sierra Leonean Creole)

Because of the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade,
Afro-descendants were shipped to and continued to Creolize
in the Americas. That’s why in..

Brazil, pequeno means “little” (Portuguese)
Jamaica, pickney means “child” (Jamaican Creole)
Suriname, pikin means “child” (Surinamese Creole)

@bnew this is why you’ve heard Jamaicans use “pickney” before, but as you can see, they are NOT the only ones in the Diaspora that use a Creolized word of “Pequeno/pequenino” to refer to a child.

White people abopted the word “pickaninny” over time as a slur for Black children in America, the Caribbean, the UK and Australia.

To summarize.
The words pequeno/pequenino originated in Portugal, Europe to mean “little/little one”.
They were brought to West-Africa by the Portuguese during their process of trade and converting Africans to Christianity to enable the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade.

Because of contact, those Portuguese words Creolized in West-Africa to “pikin” to mean a word for “child”.
(@Givethanks this is why you thought it originated there)

From West-Africa, Afro-descendants brought that to the Americas were it further Creolized in Creole languages.

In the Americas, multiple Caribbean countries & Brazil preserved its meaning in Creole Languages and Portuguese today.
In West-Africa, it’s still in Creole languages today as well.

In America, the UK and the Caribbean, etc. “Pickaninny” became a slur of white people for children of African-descent.

These are UNDENIABLE historical facts,
that are retraceable NUMEROUS ways.
I hope this read was informative and insightful

PS: It’s also why I hate PretIndians and their followers

They are an insult to the Black race, especially the descendants of slavery in the Americas that lived thru the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade.
They literally deny these undeniable facts about the Trans-Atlantic Slavetrade, to spread conspiracy theories that erase our history and pain that came with it.

Damn I made a similar post a while about how pidgin, patois, AAVE are just creolized forms of English and used pikin as an example. Glad to see posters in here are coming to the same conclusion

There should be lawsuits brought against filth like this movie. Imagine a movie about a "love story" between a Nazi guard and a Jewish woman during the Holocaust. Jewish ppl would shut that down in a heartbeat.

Also that Black gay dude who made "Slave Play" should have hands put on him. Black trauma should not be trivialized or turned into entertainment for the rest of the world.

Crazy, but that was a documentary not a romanticized movie, and it appears to have been supported by Israel. The title itself (Love it was not) tells you they weren't trying to whitewash the story like they do with Thomas Jefferson.

Get this trauma porn outta here!

Spoiler alert, slaves were forced to so ALOT of shyt...forced to do EVERYTHING!

How is this trauma porn? This isn’t a tv film in Hollywood reminding us we were slaves.We are discussing our history and literature , simply having a discussion . Are you illiterate??? You obviously don’t know what people are referencing when they talk about trauma porn. Go to another thread if you need lol

Redoshi and the surviors of clotilda and other slave ships were the enslaved to be to be kidnapped and sold into slavery from africa in the u.s. The last enslaved people from before the emancipation proclamation largely died in the 50@ and 60s. You also had share cropping things like debt peonage where people would sign contracts they couldn't read and be force to work the land through abuse and violence for no pay well into the 60s

Correct it's quite possible that even a slave born in say 1864 in the confederate south could've died a 100 years later so technically they would've been born into slavery and lived to see the Civil Rights Bill passed.

This was posted before in Higher Learning but the thread didn't do any numbers.

About this Collection | Born in Slavery: Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1938 | Digital Collections | Library of Congress

Born in Slavery: Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1938 contains more than 2,300 first-person accounts of slavery and 500 black-and-white photographs of former slaves. These narratives were collected in the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers' Project (FWP) of the Works...

If you've never seen this, it's worth checking out. It's segments of transcribed interviews of former Slaves taken in the 1930's.

It's a sobering read at best, emotional for sure.

I felt some kind of way seeing how they refer to each other and how many of them basically said things were better for them before slavery ended. Stockholm syndrome in effect. It's heartbreaking but something I think everyone should read.

And remember the Interviewers were white and there was usually a white person standing by making sure that the Interviewee didn't say something too crazy or even Indentify a Particular slave owner who did something particularly foul.

Yeah my grandfather was drafted like I’m sure alot of people in here’s grandfathers were and he talked about this all the time. He grew up in a real rural area in Georgia that literal looked like slavery happened yesterday when I visited there. But if you drafted you have no choice

I remember this old guy at a church I went to got a free trip to Ghana and he had issues going Because he didn't have a Birth Certificate for his passport application. They went with his Draft Card from WWII.

That shyt is so weird.

"You need a document that says you were born."

"Excuse me, do you think I was not born?"

Thank you for the

Yeah basically when he was born he kinda wasn't a full citizen of the state of Georgia, still liable for taxes and had to go to War though.

Excellent pieces of history and knowledge.
Props.

Thanks breh, appreciate it

Possibly Ofay as well coming from either the Ibibio word Afia white or light-coloured or Yoruba ófé "to disappear" (as from a powerful enemy)
mojo – from Fula moco’o
Hoodoo Hudu, meaning "spirit work," which comes from the Ewe language also

FACTS, even deeper..
When you look into African Spirituality across the Black Diaspora you’ll literally get FLOODED with preserved African words (and customs) of our West-African Ancestors.

That’s why I can’t take Black ppl who diss ATRs serious, because ATRs are literally the preserved pre-colonial cultural inheritances of our Ancestors that Europeans and Arabs erased with Christianity and Islam to lead into Slavery. Which was the driving force of the Trans-Atlantic and Sub-Saharan Arab Slavetrade..

People that diss ATRs, lean into the imposed colonial idea
that our Ancestors “should be thankful for their enslavement,
so they at least could be converted to Christianity and Islam
to have their souls saved..”

Damn I made a similar post a while about how pidgin, patois, AAVE are just creolized forms of English and used pikin as an example. Glad to see posters in here are coming to the same conclusion

Dope that you had come to recognize similarities in the origin of SOME Creoles breh

Unfortunately, I do need to correct your statement,
because it is NOT correct.

Lemme explain why.

Nigeria Pidgin is English-based, yes
Patois, is English-based, yes
AAVE is English-based, yes.

However, Angolan and Mozambican Pidgin are Portuguese-based.
And Burundian Pidgin is French-based, ya see.

So “Pidgin” is not Creolized English.
Each country has their own specific history with their colonizers,
that can’t be applied to make a general statement like
“Pidgin is Creolized English”
(Maybe you meant Nigerian Pidgin specifically)

So “Pidgin” is NOT Creolized English, because there are different Pidgins in the Diaspora that are Creolized from OTHER languages than English.

For example.
Haiti, Guadeloupe, America (Louisiana), St. Lucia, Martinique, French-Guiana, Reúnion, etc are countries that have French-based Creoles.

The oldest Creole in the world is Cape-Verdean Creole,
followed by Guinea-Bassau.
Both Creoles in Africa are Portuguese-based.
That’s where the Creoles of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao in the Caribbean derived from.
Their Creoles are 70% mutually intelligible with eachother to this day.

What I find powerful.
Is that no matter which European languages a Creole language Creolized with, the syntax across the board in the Black Diaspora remained West-African.

Which is deep as fukk if you think about it.

And it makes total sense,
because our Ancestors were West-Africans that ofcourse already spoke their African languages and majorily had their ATRs.
They just had to adjust and create new languages with the European languages of contact.

The more you know about West-African languages and ATRs.
The more West-African words you’ll recognize in each Creole they created and West-African customs they preserved in each ATR.

Hopefully this was informative and insightful

found out about this by wtaching Goodbye Uncle Tom (1971 ) that part was hard to watch

When I read the title, that movie imediately came to my mind as well. The criticism on Goodbye Uncle Tom comes from its graphic nature, but I've yet to read or hear of anyone stating that it exaggerated anything. I personally think it needs to hit social media and remind some folks what went actually down.

 

[feelosofer]

Its crazy that this wasn't even 200 years ago. The physical and psychological atrocities that were committed in the name of American progress.
