“THESE THINGS TAKE TIME”

“THESE THINGS TAKE TIME”

Centuries before the “Founding Fathers” rose up in revolt against the legitimate authority of their King, Africans in North, South, and Central America and the Caribbean were rising up in righteous indignation against the unspeakably heinous criminality of the various European nations engaged in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

In 1776, there were undoubtedly many prudent, reasonable colonists who opposed violent revolution against legitimate authority, arguing that after all: “these things take time.” Nowadays, there are many “prudent, reasonable” people—Blacks and nonBlacks alike—who preach patience in the face the barbaric white supremacist oppression. They argue: “After all, these things take time.”

Well, it’s been just about five centuries now that Africans have been rising up in righteous indignation against the unspeakably heinous criminality of the various European nations engaged in white supremacist exploitation. Isn’t that enough f**king time?

CHATTEL SLAVERY AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

CHATTEL SLAVERY AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

George Washington and his “lawless rebels” railed against the King for his unconscionable villainy in trying to take away their freedom to maintain the ungodly system of chattel slavery. The King, having made incredible wealth through the ungodly system of chattel slavery, found that it was no longer profitable. You see, the enslaved Africans simply refused to accept their lot. They, like George Washington and his bunch, preferred death to slavery.

It is monstrously ironic that the Founding Fathers’ major concern was the King’s intention to abolish the ungodly system of chattel slavery and thereby deprive the white supremacist colonists of their chief source of wealth.

The sad reality is that for the Founding Fathers the principal right was the right to maintain the ungodly system of chattel slavery.
