Entitlement and Slavery, The Stigma of Blackness


Not a unique idea, Sierra Leone trumps the list
Wealth based on acquisitions
Blacks enslaving blacks
Equaled a slave in all nations 
Slaves of blacks within these wars

Captive, enslaved, sold to the bidder
Lucrative business, this white faced regale
Slaves, a race, based on race, unique idea 
Blood lined streets, 1756, South Carolina

No parents
No language
No home
Child labor 
The brutality of slavery

Death traps…snakes…mosquitoes - Rice fields littered with wealth 
History follows the enslaved, to food and culture
Creolization occurred

Ideas and freedom
Liberties and freedom
Politics and freedom

Sends the Spanish of Florida 
Sunk into swamps, gone into and through the years of time, 1779
Revolts

African army on the march
Drums of rebellion
Death and blood on the trail of severed heads

Insurrection dies
Revolts and rebellion to freedom
American Revolution ignored the slaves
Washington’s slaves

Liberty and independence, an ideal 
Black pioneers, volunteer for the British army
Loyalists
Canada, the recipient of slaves thrown away by the British

Founding fathers committed to slavery
Thirteen colonies
Built on the blood of slavery
The Capitol built on the blood of slaves

Coffee plantations
Revolutions
Haiti takes charge, and owned by the blacks
Pride spills over into a free nation

2013 - Traditions of Mardi Gras -Two centuries, 1819
A celebration and evolution of freedom
Dare to Dream
Many Rivers to Cross

500 years of African History and misery
