If this trailer is an indication \u2014 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3RDaPV_rJ1Y<\/a> \u2014 we are about to be treated to a fantasy movie release in September in which black female warriors save Africa from being enslaved by the French. The film makers do not realize the irony of the setting, which is Dahomey, a black kingdom that conducted slave wars against other blacks and was the font of the slave trade. Almost every black slave brought to the Caribbean and to the English colonies in North America was a person sold into slavery by the black king of Dahomey. The female warriors in the movie declare that freedom is worth fighting for but in actual fact Dahomey fought to make money by enslaving black Africans.<\/p>\n

Today Dahomey is known as Benin. On the beach at Ouidah there is a contemporary monument, the Gate of no Return, commemorating the lives of the Africans captured by the black Kingdom of Dahomey and sold to Arabs and Europeans as slaves or traded for firearms.<\/p>\n

What might be the real purpose of this film? Could it be to brew more black hatred of whites and to justify this hatred and spread in into the black American female population, fostering the idea that just as in the movie, they also can violently throw off white oppression?<\/p>\n

Or is a purpose to further bury Dahomey as the font of the slave trade and the source of black slaves? The official narrative in \u201cblack studies\u201d and the 1619 Project is that blacks were enslaved by whites. As far as I know, no black was ever enslaved by a white. When Arabs and white Europeans purchased slaves, they purchased blacks who were already enslaved by the black kingdom of Dahomey.<\/em><\/p>\n

The reason for the falsification of history in universities and by film makers is to drive more nails in America\u2019s coffin by enculturating divisiveness in a multi-racial society.<\/p>\n

How can white racism be the cause of slavery when the fact is that black slaves were the trading commodity of the Black Kingdom of Dahomey? As Encyclopedia Britiannica<\/em> says, \u201cDahomey was organized for war, not only to expand its boundaries but also to take captives as slaves. Slaves were either sold to the Europeans \u00a0in exchange for weapons or kept to work the royal plantations that supplied food for the army and court.\u201d<\/p>\n

I would almost bet my life that Encyclopedia Britiannica will be forced to remove this passage and all correct reporting on Dahomey and the Slave Trade, just as Karl Polanyi\u2019s history, Dahomey and the Slave Trade<\/em>, has disappeared and can no longer be published. If the book were available and a black professor assigned it to the class, he would be run out of the university if not lynched by the woke thugs who comprise university faculties, administrations and student bodies.<\/p>\n

Did white people in the colonies purchase slaves because they were racist and wished to have black people to abuse? Obviously not. They held land grants but lacked a labor force. Slaves were purchased as a labor force. As there was no free labor available to purchase for wages, the purchase of a slave was the only labor force alternative.<\/p>\n

Did slave owners abuse their investment in a labor force as propaganda tracts such as Uncle Tom\u2019s Cabin<\/em> proclaimed? Does a person who has invested in a factory burn down his own factory?<\/p>\n

Slave owners wanted strong, healthy, cooperative workers to produce the crops on which the plantation was dependent. It made no sense to work a valuable slave to death, to turn him against you by beating him or raping his wife. On the plantations, many overseers were black slaves. This was considered good management practice. \u00a0Let blacks have the responsibility for the work agenda.<\/p>\n

Few black slaves ran away, and not even Lincoln\u2019s Emancipation Proclamation could ignite, as he had hoped, a slave rebellion in the South that would draw its soldiers from the front lines. Although one today is not allowed to speak such truths, black slaves in North America were content. They had food, shelter, and security<\/em>. They were not subject to slave raids by the black king of Dahomey\u2019s slave raiders. They worked and were fed, clothed, and housed. In many ways they were better off than later day white wage earners dependent on the company store \u2014 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pLVtJkpl_ug<\/a>\u00a0 Here is a modern rendition \u00a0of Tennessee Earnie Ford\u2019s song\u2013 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A9kb4-wUAU4<\/a><\/p>\n

The much abused and denigrated South did not invent slavery. Slavery was an inherited labor institution dating from colonial times long before the idea of the United States existed. The first slaves in the colonies were not blacks as the 1619 Project erroneously and propagandistically claims. \u00a0The first slaves were white people. Jamestown was founded in April, 1607, by a few more than one hundred colonists, most of whom were bond servants. A bond servant is a person whose personal or family debts in England caused them to be sold into indentured servitude and transported thousands of miles across an ocean to where they lived in conditions described by this white child sold to accommodate the creditor of \u00a0his family\u2019s debts:<\/p>\n

\u201cLoving and kind father and mother, I have nothing to comfort me, nor there is nothing to be goten here but sickness and death. A mouthful of bread must serve for four men. People cry out day and night. Do not forget me but have mercy and pity my miserable case. If you love me as your child, release me from the bondage and save my life.\u201d The letter was written by a young boy, Richard Frethorne. \u00a0Obviously in those days life was cruel. White English parents would sell a son into slavery in order to settle their debts, and the black Kingdom of Dahomey would conduct war on other blacks in order to profit by selling captives as slaves.<\/p>\n

The South did not fight to preserve slavery. President Lincoln promised to preserve slavery if the South would stay in the union and pay the tariff to finance northern industry. The South refused the deal and fought because she was invaded by northern armies.<\/p>\n

In order to industrialize and expand the empire, the North needed to block cheaper and better made manufactures from England. The tariff, which had been the main matter of contention between North and South for years, would benefit the North and harm the South. \u00a0This suited the North but not the South. \u00a0On the eve of war Lincoln promised the South slavery forever if only the South would stay in the Union and pay the tariff, but the tariff was a more important issue to the South than slavery.<\/p>\n

All of this was once generally known and heavily documented. But with the rise of black studies the knowledge has been stamped out. \u00a0American universities are lie factories just like the presstitutes, politicians, and public health agencies.<\/p>\n

School segregation in the South, based on what I know of Atlanta, was class based, not race based. Kids went to neighborhood schools to which they walked. If you lived in a middle class neighborhood, you went to school with middle class kids. In my school there were no rich and no poor kids. If you lived in a rich neighborhood you went to school with rich kids. If you lived in a poor neighborhood, you went to school with poor kids. It is as simple as that.<\/p>\n

Forced school integration required bussing and was seen by southerners as a Second Reconstruction, which is why they opposed it. Busing destroyed the PTA (Parent-Teachers Associations) that had maintained cooperation and discipline and gave parents a voice, which they no longer have, in the education of their children. To present Southern opposition to busing as racist is a lie.<\/p>\n

Southern politicians had to show some opposition to the Second Reconstruction of the South. \u00a0They could not call out the national guard which would be confronted with the US military armed with nuclear and biochemical weapons, jet fighters and bombers. \u00a0So they did the only thing that they could. \u00a0They stood in the schoolhouse door. \u00a0This provided the requisite show of opposition.<\/p>\n

What about segregated toilets, water fountains, restaurants , and the back of the bus? \u00a0When I was a kid infectious disease was the big scare like Covid today, especially TB and VD. \u00a0People thought you could get VD from toilet seats. \u00a0It was against the law to spit in the streets as it was thought it could spread TB. \u00a0In those days infectious diseases were associated with the poor who lacked the means of sanitary living, just as today infectious diseases are associated with homosexuals who are believed to be the spreaders of AIDS and monkeypox. \u00a0Blacks were disproportionally poor. Their segregation in toilets, water fountains, and restaurants reflected fear of infectious diseases. \u00a0Considering poor understanding in those days, it might have been mistaken, but it wasn\u2019t racist. It is not that blacks were denied water fountains. It was white better-than-you northern liberals who turned public health concerns into \u201cwhite racism.\u201d<\/p>\n

No one assumed that all blacks or even a very large percentage of them carried infectious diseases. \u00a0It people had seen blacks in this way, no one would have employed black women to help them with housework and children, and to prepare meals. Carrie ate with us. It couldn\u2019t have been any other way. When it is lunch time, you can\u2019t tell someone on whom you rely to go eat by herself. No one thought anything about separate water fountains. \u00a0If the white one didn\u2019t work, we used the black one, and I am sure the blacks did the same. \u00a0You didn\u2019t get arrested for it.<\/p>\n

The back of the bus was the way the bus companies tried to accommodate its different classes of passengers. \u00a0In those days there were no shopping centers and families did not own multiple cars. \u00a0Public transportation was shared by dressed up ladies going shopping and by the black labor force. In those days, unlike today, a self-respecting woman would not leave the house unless she was appropriately dressed. \u00a0That meant high heels, stockings, a nice suit or dress, a hat, veil, and gloves. \u00a0If seating were co-mingled, women in their finery would be confronted with seats soiled by hard working black laborers. \u00a0And women with their perfumes would be confronted with the smell of hard work. \u00a0If the bus companies had had foresight about the propaganda use of back of the bus, they would have assigned whites to the back and the black labor force to the front. \u00a0The bus companies simply did not understand that a common sense policy would be declared evidence of racism. As kids we preferred the back of the bus. \u00a0The big wide window up above the cars was a perfect place to make faces at the car drivers, and it was close to the rear exit. Moreover, where the back of the bus was depended on the portions of black and white passengers. \u00a0If the passenger traffic was largely black, the back of the bus could extend to the front. \u00a0I have \u00a0been on buses where all seats were taken by blacks. \u00a0In other words, there was no line drawn across the bus beyond which blacks could not move forward or whites backward.<\/p>\n

Facts are not part of the racist narrative. Today in America we live in lies. \u00a0There is nothing else. \u00a0As soon as The Woman King<\/em> appears in movie theaters and Netflix, we will live in the lie of Dahomey\u2019s black slave traders fighting for black freedom.<\/p>\n
