The 'APPARATUS' OF MANIPULATION OF THE AFRICAN, initiated since 325 CE.

(C:THE HISTORY OF AFRICA MAGAZINE, 2022)

"The very same people we are enslaving and [in] war with in Haiti and Martinique, and Saint Lucia and Tobago, are the very descendants of the people who built the pyramids... and we are copying all their works."

- Napoleon Bonaparte (Ruins Of Empires, Translated from French).

According to Malcolm X, during chattel slavery era in America, there were two kinds of enslaved people on the plantations in the Americas.

 The "house-negro" was a kind of slave who lived in the house with his slave master and 'loved the slave master more than the slave master loved himself'. He wore good cloths given him, out of the master's old belongings. He ate better because he ate leftovers from his master's plates. He lived near the master, in the attic or at back of the house but he lived near the master all the same.

 When the master got sick, he'd say 'what's up boss, we sick?' 

 When the master's house caught fire, he would fight harder to quench the fire, more than his master would. 

This slave would defend the master more than the master would want to defend himself. He would fight harder to please the master more than the master will do for himself.

 When one of the slaves came to him and said, 'let's run away, separate... build our own thing...' He would say, 'man you're crazy. This good white man?! Where are we gonna get good cloths like this? Where are we gonna live in a house like this?' This slave was 'institutionalized.'

 On the same plantation, there was the "field-negro". 

He worked on the plantation to produce crops for the master. Crops to feed the master and his families as well as to provide proceeds for his master in the 'triangular trade' which sustained Western Europe and its cousin, America.' He worked from 'can see to can't see.' He dressed in rags, ate whatever the master throws his way and slept in the shacks, away from the house... watched. When the master got sick, he prayed that the master would die. When the master's house caught fire, he prayed for a wind to fan the fire and burn the house down... 'and he hated the master. He was intelligent.' 

 When Malcom X, shortly before his death in the 1960s spoke of this, he narrated the true situation of the American ex-slaves then.

 

When industrial revolution in europe, capitalist agenda and the fear of slaves all out revolt on the plantations to murder all whites, like it had happened in Haiti...forced white America to abolished trans-atlantic slave trade, slave owners in America sought ways of making the Africans like the "house-negro". He was more submissive, docile and did his master's biddings. Europe also sought ways to make the African "forgive and forget the ills of the past as well as forget their true History and embrace the enslaver's "his story". 

The missionaries were chosen for the role of adjusting the Africans mindset towards those who plundered them. The capitalist were ushered-in to tinker the socio-political and economic predisposition of the Africans. It's noteworthy to take into consideration the fact that, when these issues are placed in their proper perspective, the christian often assume that his religion is under attack. But it's necessary to take note of the ill-intentions of evil men who use religion as a disguise. 

 

The 'romance' with the Arabs who went on a 1000 years slavery rampage, from the 6th century CE to the 19th century CE, was neither of good cheers to the African.

 ...And true and true, African history, right from antiquity had shown that, there is a creator who made all things... 'For that which is made, requires a maker.' Just as a 'kraal' can not come into existence except a 'maker,' or a builder made it so; there is an author for the universe.' In whatever form the creator appeared, it wasn't up to one human or a group of persons to decide or assert. Africa understood and lived by this knowledge, even before there was Judaism, Samaritanism, Christianity or Islam. Before 1675 BCE, when the first Hebrew (habiru), the father of all Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christendom and Islam) came into existence... before the concept of 'heaven and hell' entered the roots of Abrahamic religions in the 5th century BCE, when the people of Lachish went into captivity in Assyria... Africa lived by this truth, right from antiquity. Until we can make the rain, produce a bean seed, make trees, make crops grow in field or make the oceans and all that we depend on in our natural environment, no one who's worth his/her onions can deny the fact that there was and there is, a 'master of the universe.' But Africans should rise up and smell their own coffee, and know and realize it, when the fact and reality of the 'master of our universe' is used as an 'apparatus' for manipulation.

 'Africa was taught and successfully programmed to look up to the sky, into some utopia, some 'sweet by and by' in the sky when Africa needs 'bread' and forget to build herself up and build her land and people.' It's the reason why, each detailed modern research in recent years, indicates that, each African polity has more mosques and churches, much more than there are factories, schools or hospitals.   This had changed African 'ancient realities' to this very day.

 

Image: A 'field negro' when he/she was muzzled up so he/she could not eat of the crops in the field while working on the plantations. This had gone down for over 340 years in the Americas, with no payment to the enslaved, whatever! That's how America,  became so rich, all of a sudden... The descendants of the enslaved today thinks the enslaver meant to lead him to paradise, an utopia, somewhere in the sky, while the descendant of the enslaver is proactively building his paradise here on earth. And he is extending his enterprises, even up to the surface of the moon. As of 2015, America, Russia and China had so far claimed spaces on the surface of the moon as their's.
