Critical Thinking - Black History Month Special - Who is Black & Why it matters? (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast - Season 12, Episode 0002   This week's episode of the black spy podcast is a critical thinking episode for Black History Month, in which Carlton asks – who is it Black and why does it matter? Carlton looks at the politics of blackness including who has decided who is and isn't classed as “Black” through the centuries. Moreover, in terms of a phenotype, what do Black people look like. Carlton asks if its credible that Black people are only seen as one absolutely particular type of ethnic group with no variation of skin colour in nose shape, lip shape etc; whereas White people (Caucasians) can be of any hair colour blonde, dark, ginger to curly hair, to straight hair. They can have thin or thick lips, narrow, wide or hook noses and all forms of face shape. Moreover, the Europeans who ‘classified' the as so called races, even allowed people with very white and very dark skin colour to be classified as White, because they were from a people perceived a capable in the 17th and 18th centuries. These unscientific discrepancies between phenotype classifications can clearly no longer stand? Therefore in this episode, Carlton seeks to challenge this one sided view, which by the way isn't maintained when it suited the post 17th Century colonial elites, slaveholders, plantocracy and pseudo-scientists that proclaimed the inferiority of the so called Black (Negro) ‘race', and the superiority of the obviously flawed White race classification. Hence, Carlton explains why this outdated concept can no longer stand and why Black historical figures and empires throughout the ages need to be reclaimed! Carlton explains how being Black has been defined in various countries particularly the United states and how, just one drop of black blood was perceived to be sufficient to make a person legally and officially Black. This one drop was defined in many US states a person with 1/64th of a Black ancestor, 1/32nd Black ancestry, 1/16th or a minimum of 1/8th Black ancestry made a person Black. Additionally, this episode also assesses what Carlton calls the ‘Balance Theory'. Carlton's Balance Theory explains how Black, White and other peoples of Colour have had transmitted to them, by slave trade and colonial White rulers, that Black people are ignorant, lazy, childlike, feckless and uneducated, and that they have never invented or developed anything. They have also been told that Blacks are criminal and duplicitous. These anti-black views have been transmitted to all peoples for over 350 years, since the African Slave Trade, Colonialism up until at least the late 1970's. Carlton explores all these issues and many more. He assesses the effect on every day interactions with police, teachers or employers and others, who due to the extremely low expectation of Black people mentioned above, these important intermediaries, due to these attitudes see Black people as suspicious and of limited ability. Hence, what Carlton calls the ‘muck of ages' affects relations today. Finally, Carlton notes that this negativity against Black people has also been transmitted to Black people themselves, so they too suffer from the same prejudices brought about by the muck of ages. Note: The picture attached is a facial reconstruction of Jesus Christ by forensic reconstruction experts. The reconstruction is not dissimilar to that of the facial reconstruction first British man known as Cheddar Man, albeit Cheddar man is shown to be even blacker than Jesus.

In this lecture, Christian McBurney speaks on his new book, Dark Voyage: An American Privateer's War on Britain's African Slave Trade, a microhistory of an American privateer during the Revolutionary War that sailed to the coast of Africa and attacked a British slave trading post and British slave ships, seriously disrupting and virtually halting the British slave trade during the war years. On the other hand, the privateersmen were out for profit and, in effect, became slave traders themselves.

The History of the Rise, Progress and Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave Trade by the British Parliament (1808) Volume II

The American privateer Marlborough set out in 1777-1778 to disrupt British trade and enrich its crew and owners by capturing British merchantmen.  The Marlborough  focused on Britain's slave trade, attacking the slave-trading port at the Isle de Los off today's Guinea. This successful raid, and other attacks by American privateers on British slavers, had repercussions for the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.  We talk with Christian McBurney, author of  Dark Voyage:  An American Privateer's War on Britain's African Slave Trade.  

So, first off, we need to start by addressing this as we should any disagreement concerning the Bible, from the Bible. However, there are some other aspects that we can look at today from each of the chairs. Now, what exactly are “Black Hebrew Israelites” and how are they relevant to the conversation? Well, Congress.gov has this to say about the movement: “Extremist Hebrew Israelites have a long, strange list of enemies. At the top of the list are white people, who they preach are descended from a race of red, hairy beings, known as Edomites, who were spawned by Esau, the twin brother of Jacob (later known as Israel) in the Old Testament. Equally hated are "fraudulent" Jews, "the synagogue of Satan." They're closely followed in no particular order by Asians, promiscuous black women, abortionists, continental Africans (who, according to the extremist Israelites, sold the lost tribes of Israel, who were black, to European slave traders), and gay people, who according to extremist Israelites should all be put to death. (In December 2006, three gay men who were assaulted inside an Atlanta nightclub identified their attackers as Hebrew Israelites; no arrests were made). Recruiting literature describing the extremist Israelite doctrine is just as harsh as the street preachers' angry rhetoric. "Does the Bible teach unity of races? NO!" reads one of the Israelite Church's widely distributed flyers. "Will the different nations who believe in Jesus be saved from the Lord's wrath? NO! Was Jesus Chris a Caucasian man? NO! Does his color matter? YES!" Well, the reason we're bringing it up today is because of Ye/Kanye West's remarks about Jews controlling the media. Where is Ye coming from? Well, he has professed belief in the Black Hebrew Israelite ideology, or at least tenants of it, for a while now and this appears to have spurred his remarks recently. He's not the only R&B or Hip-Hop artist to have professed belief in the BHI ideology. We also see this commonly with other highly successful African American folks. Take the recent dust up with Kyrie Irving and the Nets. Irving promoted the Black Hebrew Israelite film Hebrews to Negroes, from Ronald Dalton's book by the same name. So where do the BHI folks get the primary assumptions? Primarily out of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy 28:41 is a critical verse that is interpreted out of context, reinterpreting the verse through the context of the African Slave Trade. A basic principle in Biblical interpretation is that a verse cannot mean what it could not have meant to the people who were being addressed when the scripture was recorded. Deuteronomy 28:64-65 is used to claim that the Black Hebrew Israelites are the true Hebrews as they were scattered from Africa as slaves. So what is the problem with this? Well, this found fulfillment in the Babylonian captivity. This was not speaking about a set of events for a different bloodline thousands of years later, only hundreds. Deuteronomy 28:68 is further used as a prophecy of the African Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, after substituting Egypt for bondage. One of the primary principles of Hermeneutics is that the text could not have meant what it could not have meant to the people to whom the original text was addressed. They believe that the Jews are usurping their birthright as God's chosen people. Jews being the synagogue of Satan. What is wrong with this? Who was Jesus? Descended from Abraham. From where did this line of Jesus come? Shem. From whom did the African line come? Ham.(Gen. 10:6; 1 Chron. 1:8-16) They believe that white people are deceivers, especially Christians, and therefore cannot be saved. (First off, Calvinist much?) Where does ethnocentrism land us? What does the Lord say about respecters of persons in James 2:9? They believe Jesus is a created being, who we can emulate and fulfill the OT Law perfectly. Where does this fall short? If Jesus is not God, then we do not have atonement, but also the Bible falls short (Luke 22:70, John 10:38, John 14:7-10, Revelation 19:16, etc) So when coming to someone who believes in this, come with love, truth, and meekness. This is how Christ always came to those with open hearts. Only to the scholars and priests who were willingly disobedient did Christ treat with a harsh tone. We should be looking to win people, not debates, when discussing these things one on one. https://jude3project.org/blog/engagingbhi https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/111227/documents/HHRG-117-JU08-20210224-SD009.pdf

Martha and I are in agreement that descendants of Black Africa should consider the Diaspora when discussing the African Slave Trade. Are we missing the significance of the atrocity? Correction: Change “Priest” to “Pope” reference 1441 gift of Africans.

Amazon  Returning from their honeymoon Mr. Tchinda and Mrs. Angel are enmeshed or entangled in a relentless and never-ending effort to bring an end to racial injustice, police brutality, and killings of blacks and Asians following the rise of the "Black Lives Matter-I Can't Breathe" street protest in which police officers shoot and kill Black-Boy. Distraught by racial police killings in the streets of America, they resolve to undertake a pilgrimage to the underworld to seek counsel from Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, George W. Gandhi, and other civil rights activists/leaders to find a solution for America. During their pilgrimage to the underworld, Mrs. Angel receives a prophecy that she will be the first American female president to the Whitehouse. Still, she must compete to beat her political opponent, Jim Crow, and overturn the racial system for new democratic leadership in favor of liberty, freedom, and equality of all races. Mr. Tchinda must also lead a march to Washington, preparing the grounds for Mrs. Angel's rise to power. What happens next? Born on March 07, 1984, Tchinda F. Mbuna is a Cameroonian poet, playwright, public speaker, and cybersecurity instructor. He speaks both English and French. In 2002-2004, he attended PCHS Mankon-Bamenda with specialized studies in African and Western Literature. He wrote and performed many stage plays and won many poetry and oral literature awards at the Franco-Cameroonian Alliance Mankon-Bamenda.

Er was een tijd, niet eens zo heel lang geleden, dat de slavernij – het uitbuiten en verhandelen van mensen – een geaccepteerd en normaal onderdeel van de maatschappij was. Maar op een gegeven moment is het verdwenen. Of althans, volgens de Internationale Arbeidsorganisatie leven er nog steeds 40 miljoen mensen in slavernij, maar het verhandelen van mensen is nu in ieder geval verboden, illegaal, in ieder land op aarde. Het is makkelijk om te denken dat die officiële afschaffing van de slavernij onvermijdelijk was. Het gevolg van de Verlichting, de industrialisatie, of 'de vooruitgang' in het algemeen. Maar niets is minder waar. De geschiedenis van het abolitionisme, de beweging om de slavernij voor eens en altijd af te schaffen, laat zien dat het ook heel anders had kunnen lopen. Hoe is het de abolitionisten gelukt om zo'n vanzelfsprekend en zo'n lucratief instituut omver te werpen? Een ding is zeker: vandaag de dag kunnen we nog steeds ongelofelijk veel leren van hun succes. In de afgelopen maanden verslond Rutger het ene na het andere boek over deze fascinerende geschiedenis, en in deze podcast vertelt hij over een aantal lessen die we vandaag de dag nog altijd kunnen toepassen. Leesvoer bij deze aflevering • Rutger heeft het op een gegeven moment over de ‘nobele verliezer'. Rebecca Solnit schrijft in Hope in the Dark over hetzelfde idee: over hoe bepaalde activisten het stiekem wel fijn vinden om te verliezen omdat dat bewijst dat ze gelijk hebben. (https://corr.es/a96cfc) • Ook vertelt hij over Seymour Drescher en zijn boek Econocide, waarin uitgebreid besproken en aangetoond wordt dat de afschaffing van de slavernij zeer schadelijk was voor de Britse economie. (https://corr.es/b4d286) • En die pil die in de studio lag? Dat was The History of the Rise, Progress, and Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave-Trade by the British Parliament van Thomas Clarkson. (https://corr.es/23bf36)

With the growing relationship between New England and Barbados, the economy stabilized. The North to South trade benefited everybody. Sugar and rum seemed to share a co-monarchy. They were KINGS! The East to West trade across the Atlantic promised more. Men like Emanuel Downing, John Smith, and Thomas Keyser advanced the idea and practice of African Slavery. Men like Samuel Sewall challenged the growing slave industry. Despite his efforts, the practice grew. The profits and investment throughout the North American colonies quickly advanced local economies and industries throughout the colonies. The backbone of the colonial resources was built around sugar and rum. Many of the emerging commercial enterprises would have a major impact, not just in the days leading up to the American Revolution, but after. This episode sets the stage for the expansion of Carribean slave plantations to the mainland, the Navigation Acts, Writs of Assistance, targeted taxation, and how it had a ripple effect across the colonial landscape.

#AfricanSlaveTrade #SlaveShips #HistoryChannel #AfricanAmericans Intro: Ishayar -This for My people (audio) https://youtu.be/lIjXBmRYpp8 Email the podcast: rbcforum313@yahoo.com https://cash.app/$BlackConsciousness Join us as we have a conversation about what really happened with Africans coming to America during the slave trade. We go back and discuss how the problem began 400 years ago from the very first day that our forefathers set the sole of their feet on the soil here in the Western Hemisphere in the days of John Hawkins. It was in the year 1555, Hawkins was an English slave trader. In the year 1555 when John Hawkins began bringing our people away from our own native land and away from our own people to sell us to his White brothers here in the West as merchandise for the slave markets, little did John Hawkins realize at that time that by bringing us here as slaves he was sentencing his White brothers here to their doom. For the evil that they have done and are still doing to our people here cannot be forgiven. But it was all for a divine purpose; that Almighty God, Allah, might make Himself known, through us, to our enemies; and second, to the world that He alone is God. But our poor Black mothers and fathers, who were deceived by this devil John Hawkins and his lies and empty promises, didn't have the slightest idea that their coming here to be sold into slavery could create a problem that would take Almighty God Himself and the righteous nation of Black America to solve ... and that this problem would be solved at the end of the time of their arch-deceiving enemies (the devils). Listen in, comment, share, and like this conversation! Comment! Lets talk about talk about something not discussed in the class rooms. Thanks!

One, in 1776, led to the formation of the USA, which went on to dominate the African Slave Trade. The other, ignited in 1791, led to the Haitian Revolution, which precipitated a general crisis of the entire slave system that could be resolved only with its collapse — not least in the U.S. itself in 1865. Unfortunately, those who feasted on free labor have not forgotten and will never forgive Haiti, including today when the USA, Canada and the European Union (especially France) continue to interfere maliciously in Haiti's internal affairs.

LUKE 18:35-43At that time, as Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging; and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." And he cried, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" And Jesus stopped, and commanded him to be brought to him; and when he came near, he asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, let me receive my sight." And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. Let me tell you the story of a blind man. Not a physically blind man, but a spiritually blind man. The man I would like to tell you about was born in 1725 and his name was John Newton. I don’t want to judge him too harshly, but using his own words, John Newton described himself as a wretch. And if you listen to the stories I am about share with you, I think you’ll be prone to agree.Now, I must say, that John Newton was not born a wretch. In fact he had been born to a kind, Christian woman in London who did her very best to love and provide for her boy and to give him religious instruction. Newton remembered her fondly, but unfortunately she passed away when he was just seven and his step-mother was not the same kind of woman. And then after some time with his step-mother, and some more time at a boarding school, finally, at the young age of eleven, John Newton joined his father at sea.As you could probably guess, growing up among the sailors was not work out well for John. He picked up many of the habits that sailors of his day were renowned for, drinking, gambling, and boy did that man have a mouth. And after about six years at his father’s side, the elder John Newton retired from the sea and the younger John Newton began his own career. He spent a short time as a merchant sailor, but his bad behavior got him into trouble and he was pressed into the service of the British Royal Navy. And then after attempting to desert his first ship, he was flogged, demoted, and transferred to a second ship, a slave ship. Even aboard this ship his behavior remained remarkably despicable. Martin Bernard writes that, “In a culture where sailors habitually swore, Newton was admonished several times for not only using the worst words the captain had ever heard, but creating new ones to exceed the limits of verbal debauchery.” At one point Newton even plotted to kill the captain and was chained up amongst the slaves that they were carrying.Eventually Newton was abandoned by his shipmates in West Africa and for three years he himself served as a slave West Africa, at the service of Amos Clowe and his wife, the Princess Peye of the Sherbro people. John Newton would later write about his life in Africa, and specifically about slavery in West Africa, an institution he experienced firsthand. He describes a civilization organized into districts, governed by a council with representatives from each district, all maintaining a set of laws that prevented theft, fraud, and other crimes, and specifically included a prohibition on drawing blood, even from a slave.Slavery itself was generally penal in nature, saved for those who had broken laws too big to be satisfied in other ways, significant theft, murder or assault, the stealing of another man’s wife. Most of those who went into slavery could expect to come out some day, when the offended party had been satisfied or the debts had been worked off. Slavery in Africa was slavery as it had been practiced throughout most of human history.After a few years serving as a slave in West Africa, John was himself freed by another ship captain who had been sent by his father to find him. In one of his personal letters, he writes that he had grown so accustomed to Sierra Leon that he contemplated staying and only left on account of his childhood sweetheart Polly. It was on the return journey that his ship was caught up in a great storm and nearly sank. A crew member died in the storm that day and the rest worked for hours to keep the ship afloat. In this desperate moment, John Newton, a man whose foul mouth could literally make a sailor blush, exclaimed these words, “Lord have mercy on us!”Eventually the storm died down and John Newton took the helm, steering the ship for the next eleven hours, alone with his thoughts. That night, and then on into the tired and hungry days that followed, John Newton kept asking himself, “Why?” Why would the Lord save him? Why would the Lord save this man who had denounced God? And more than just denounce God, he had ridiculed the piety of those around him? Why, in that moment of desperation, would he call out to God, of all things? And why, why oh why, would God care to save a wretch like him.This event marked a turning point in John Newton’s life, though it would take a long time to bear fruit. A really long time. More than a decade, in fact. Newton made it home, married his lifelong sweet heart, and continued his work in the slave trade. Seven years later, at age 30, Newton suffered a rather serious stroke and decided that life at sea had become too difficult for him. He took a position at port and never sailed again.During those seven years at sea and then in his port work, Newton began to study the bible and read theology. By all accounts he began to watch his mouth and control his temper. Over time he quit the drinking and the gambling. He studied Latin and Greek and Syraic. Eventually his friends and acquaintances began to encourage him to join the clergy, which he eventually did, becoming an Anglican Priest. It was here that John Newton enjoyed his second life.John took to this life as a parish priest. His mouth, which had once made him the scourge of the southern seas, now brought him attention from the pulpit. But was not until 1788, 34 years after his work in the African Slave Trade, that John Newton finally began to speak about his own experiences. He wrote a pamphlet entitled, “Thoughts on the African Slave Trade.” In his introduction, he writes this:“If my testimony should not be necessary, or serviceable, yet, perhaps, I am bound, in conscience, to take shame to myself by a public confession, which, however sincere, comes too late to prevent, or repair, the misery and mischief to which I have, formerly, been accessary. I hope it will always be a subject of humiliating reflection to me, that I was, once, an active instrument, in a business at which my heart now shudders.” As much as this pamphlet advocated for Abolition, it also served as John Newton’s public confession.His writings are difficult. I read his pamphlet this week and worried about how much to share. He describes humans being treated like cargo, stacked up on shelves just a few feet high, often stuck below decks for weeks at a time, hundreds of them, left to sit and live and lay and sleep in their own waste, chained together. Chained, as he describes, not left hand to right hand and left foot to right hand as would make the most sense, but right hand to right hand and right foot to right foot, so as to make most natural movements, even rolling over on your shelf, impossible. He describes living human cargo being thrown overboard when water ran scarce. He describes the regular, shall I say mistreating, of the slave women by the crew.And then, let me read one last passage from this pamphlet for you: “When the ships make the land, (usually the West-India islands,) and have their port in view after having been four, five, six weeks or a longer time, at sea…then, and not before, they venture to release the Men Slaves from their irons. And then, the sight of the land, and their freedom from long and painful confinement, usually excite in them a degree of alacrity, and a transient feeling of joy—The prisoner leaps to lose his chains. But, this joy is short lived indeed. The condition of the unhappy Slaves is in a continual progress from bad to worse. Their case is truly pitiable, from the moment they are in a state of slavery, in their own country; but it may be deemed a state of ease and liberty, compared with their situation on board our ships. Yet, perhaps, they would wish to spend the remainder of their days on ship board, could they know, before-hand, the nature of the servitude which awaits them, on shore; and that the dreadful hardships and sufferings they have already endured, would, to the most of them, only terminate in excessive toil, hunger, and the excruciating tortures of the cart-whip, inflicted at the caprice of an unfeeling Overseer, proud of the power allowed him of punishing whom, and when, and how he pleases.”In John Newton’s personal experience, slavery in Africa was pitiable, but could be considered “ease and liberty” when compared with what happened on the boats. And then, from what he saw and learned in the British Colonies, what happened to the slaves once they reached land was bad enough to make most of them want to get back onto the boats.At this point I should probably beg your forgiveness. This story of John Newton was really meant to be a short introduction to my sermon, a paragraph or two at most. But the more I learned about him, the more I was personally inspired. I am not sure if I was ever the kind of wretch that John Newton was, but I have plenty to repent for. And the more I learned about him and his life, the more I wanted to share. I think I was inspired mostly by his ability to truly repent, to completely change his ways in the middle of his life. It was hard to imagine a more radical transformation than this one, from an active slave trader to a vocal Abolitionist.Just as Jesus Christ once chose Paul, a Pharisee of Pharisees, a murderer of Christians, to spread his Gospel to the larger Roman Empire, so here also the Lord chose this foul-mouthed slave trader to speak on behalf of the Abolitionist cause. And it was his confession, specifically his confession, that helped pave the way for Britain to abolish the Atlantic Slave Trade in 1807. And it was in that same year, at age 82, that John Newton reposed in the Lord.I tell you this story today, not just because I find it personally inspirational, but because of one other little detail from the life of John Newton. It was pretty normal for ministers of his day to compose little hymns and write verses to be used in services, and on New Year’s Day in 1773, John Newton debuted a little hymn that he would later describe as his autobiography set to verse. The first verse of his hymn reads like this:“Amazing Grace! How sweet the soundthat saved a wretch like me.I once was lost, but now am foundwas blind, but now I see.”Amazing Grace. In this beautiful, well known verse, John Newton describes himself as a blind man who by God’s Grace is now able to see. That was the parallel with our Gospel story today that I was going for. But as I dug into John Newton’s story, I was surprised how many additional parallels I encountered.Today’s story begins with a bustling crowd entering into Jericho and passing by a blind man begging on the side of the road. This man asks the crowd what all the excitement is about and hears that Jesus is coming to town. To the blind man, this is, of course, very exciting news. And as the crowd continues to flow past him, the blind man begins to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Notice these are the same words that John Newton cried out in the midst of the storm, “Lord, have mercy!”And then Luke is careful to tell us that the man is turned away by those at the front of the crowd. This is not just a random detail in our Gospel story, but a regular theme seen throughout the Gospels. Think of the woman at the well being called out for her marital status or the Jesus telling the Canaanite woman that he came first to serve the Judeans. In fact, it is in this exact same chapter of Luke that Jesus tells the story of the tenacious widow who continues to pester the judge for justice until he finally relents and does as she wishes. God is not a genie waiting to grant our wishes. And even when he intends to say, “Yes,” he does it in his own time. And the wait can be a test of your faith. Will you remain diligent in your prayers, will you be faithful in your work, or will you walk away upset and unwilling to change like the Rich Young Ruler.Ultimately, our blind man’s persistence is rewarded and Jesus asks for the man to be brought before him, inquiring, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man immediately asks that he might receive his sight and Jesus heals him, saying that it was “his faith” that made him well. It wasn’t just the blind man’s belief that Jesus was a great healer, or even the crying out for mercy, but it was his faithful perseverance, together with God’s grace, that had saved him.Growing up as an Evangelical Christian, where that first moment of faith is given so much weight, I had always heard the line, “Was blind but now I see,” as if it were some sort of instantaneous transformation. But this week, digging deeper into John Newton’s actual story, I discovered that it was in truth a much more gradual healing. In Orthodox teaching, “spiritual blindness” is very real malady. It is a malfunctioning of the mind, in Greek called the nous, which can be thought of as the eye of the heart. It is the nous that St. Paul is talking about in Romans when he teaches, “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” John Newton’s mind had been conformed to the pattern of the world during his years at sea, and it took time and effort for his mind to be renewed.The Church teaches that a healthy mind, a renewed mind, both guards what enters into the heart and guides what comes out of the heart. The elders of our Church call this practice nepsis or watchfulness. In the decade between John Newton’s conversion and his eventual ministry, John Newton began to consume the Bible and other spiritual literature, and to watch his mouth and his temper. He cut out the drinking and the gambling. He guarded what went in, and he guided what came out.And then the parable of the blind man ends this way, “And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.” Again, we see this in the life of John Newton. His faithful tending to his heart and mind was ultimately rewarded by God when his blindness was transformed into sight. “And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.”John Climacus teaches that, “it is the understanding which is obtained through divine illumination that can brighten the darkness present in others.” St. Saraphim of Sarov teaches, “Acquire a spirit of peace and a thousand around you will be saved.” The Lord himself proclaims, “Let your light shine before humanity, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” We must nurture the light of Christ in our own hearts before we can ever hope to spread His light to those around us.Like David’s Psalms of confession that have been read in our Church for millennia, John Newton’s little hymn of confession has brought comfort to men and women all across our nation. It was sung by soldiers as they buried their companions in the Civil War. It brought comfort to the hearts of the Cherokee people as they walked westward along the trail of tears. It was sung by Civil Rights demonstrators as they struggled in our streets for equal rights. And it was sung in the little Baptist Church where I was raised and in Churches of all stripes and denominations, all across this land.And all of this goes back to the day when a wretch of a man named John Newton, scared for his life, cried out in fear, “Lord have mercy on us!” And then went on to do the long hard work of truly repenting. I do not need to tell you that these words, “Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,” live at the heart of Orthodox piety. Each one of us is that man tossed at sea. Each one of us is that blind man sitting by the side of the road. We need to keep these simple words, “Lord, have mercy,” forever in our hearts as we work at our own personal repentance and even more so if we ever hope to work toward any kind of national repentance.But if we do this hard work, if we are faithful stewards of these lives God has given us, I believe we can be assured that our Lord who is also faithful, will one day call us to himself and say, “Receive your sight. Your faith has made you well.” Amen.

PART OF OUR BLACK HISTORY MONTH SERIESFreedom has been central to the identity of the City of London for centuries. But from the Seventeenth to the Nineteenth centuries, the African Slave Trade and Plantation Slavery in the Americas were key to London's banking, insurance, shipping, manufacturing, commodity trades with Europe, gold and silver supply in London, and later merchant banks like Barings, Schroeder and Kleinwort. The City also benefited from the end of Slavery, as compensated emancipation liberated a flood of liquid capital and provided a £500,000 per annum income stream to its funders.A lecture by Richard Drayton, King's College London 28 OctoberThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/slavery-city-of-londonGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

For thousands of years slavery was an accepted part of human life. Until one day, William Wilberforce stood up and laid down his life to see the African Slave Trade abolished.  The problem is, even though William Wilberforce did the impossible . . . there is still over 40 million people in slavery today--one in four are children.  Are you willing to stand and make a difference with your life? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wilberforce https://www.trust.org/ https://www.trust.org/unbox-the-truth/ https://www.ijm.org/slavery https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/2018/data/maps/#prevalence   Until next time...

As a food historian when I think of sugar I think of slavery in places such as Louisiana, Florida, Cuba, and Brazil to name a few regions of the Americas. The demand for sugar led to massive demographic changes in Africa and the Americas. In the book Hog and Hominy, I in part look at the question what role does food play in the Atlantic slave trade?

Ric Murphy will explore the history of the 20 and odd African captives that arrived in Virginia around 1619 and planted the seeds of the American slave trade. This is the first group of Africans to go on record to be sold as involuntary laborers. A Boston native, Ric Murphy is an educator, historian, and award-winning author of several books and historical publications. Long before he started writing, Murphy had always heard about his rich family background, which led him to begin as a hobby — genealogical research. His family lineage dates to the earliest colonial periods of Plymouth, Massachusetts, and Jamestown, Virginia. Mr. Murphy’s lineage has been evaluated and accepted by several heredity societies, including the Daughters of the American Revolution; the National Society of the Sons of Colonial New England; the Sons of the American Revolution; the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War; and the Sons and Daughters of the U. S. Middle Passage.

January 24, 2019 - Our time machine transports us back to the Savannah, Georgia, of 1858, where we'll meet Charles Lamar. Ignoring the law of the United States, Lamar organizes the transportation of hundreds of Africans aboard the yacht Wanderer. This criminal act strikes a hammer blow on the fault lines of America society, marking the first importation of human beings as slaves in four decades. Piecing together the true story with a treasure trove of newly discovered documents is Jim Jordan who brings us The Slave-Trader's Letter-Book: Charles Lamar, the Wanderer, and Other Tales of the African Slave Trade. Jim Jordan researches and writes about the colonial, antebellum, and Civil War South. He's the author of the novel Savannah Grey: A Tale of Antebellum Georgia, and its sequel, Penny Savannah: A Tale of Civil War Georgia. In 2018, he earned the Georgia Historical Records Advisory Counsel of the University System of Georgia's Award for Excellence in Documenting Georgia's History. Visit him at JimJordanAuthor.com.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Max Blumenthal, a journalist and bestselling author whose latest book is “The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza,” who is also the senior editor of Grayzone Project and co-host of the podcast “Moderate Rebels.”Facebook said it shut down 32 fake pages and accounts yesterday that were part of a “coordinated inauthentic campaign” to spread politically divisive material ahead of US midterm elections in November. The pages had more than 290,000 followers. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company had not yet identified who was behind the operation. Beyond Nuclear with Kevin Kamps is Loud & Clear’s regular Wednesday segment, which looks at nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Today, Kevin walks the hosts through a the process of shutting down a reactor, and despite how much money is given to companies for the shutdown process, how they still put our health at risk. Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, and Sputnik news analyst and producer Nicole Roussell, join the show.Yesterday was Day 1 in the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who has been charged with 18 felonies related to financial crimes. The Washington Post said that the Justice Department prosecutor was using a “scorched earth” policy, making bold, unproven assertions and telling jurors about Manafort’s profligate spending. The prosecutor was twice admonished by Judge T. S. Ellis III to stick to the facts. Meanwhile, Special Counsel Mueller has sent 3 cases to the federal prosecutors, including democrats Tony Podesta and Gregory Craig, who served as counsel to President Obama. Daniel Lazare, he is a journalist and author of three books: ”The Frozen Republic,” “The Velvet Coup,” and “America's Undeclared War,” joins the show. Activists around the world are deeply concerned that Julian Assange could be evicted from the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Recent comments from Ecuador’s new president Lenin Moreno suggest that a deal with British authorities is in the works. Brian and John speak with activist and journalist Diani Baretto and Randy Credico, an activist, a comedian, and the former director of the William Moses Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice. The Trump administration moved today to promote short-term “junk” insurance plans, further undermining the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, the debate over single payer healthcare has heated up after a controversial new study was released by the libertarian Mercatus Center. Dr. Carol Paris, President of Physicians for a National Health Plan, joins the show. The Trump Administration is considering a second sharp reduction in the number of refugees who can be resettled in the United States, further scaling back a program that is meant to protect the world’s most vulnerable people. And this time there isn’t any notable opposition inside the White House. David Bennion, an immigration lawyer and Executive Director of the Free Migration Project, joins Brian and John.A far-right Brazilian presidential candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, said yesterday that his country should not feel guilty about its past as the world’s most prolific slave importer, adding that Brazil “owes no debt” to its black citizens. The 63-year-old congressman added that, if elected, he would repeal laws implemented during the presidency of Dilma Rousseff that are aimed at reducing inequality in Brazil. Brian and John speak with Dr. Gerald Horne, a professor of history at the University of Houston and author of many books, including “The Deepest South: The United States, Brazil, and the African Slave Trade.”

Savannah businessman Charles Lamar on Nov. 28, 1858, became the first person in 40 years to land a slave ship on American soil. That event is the subject of Jim Jordan’s new book, “ The Slave-Trader’s Letter-Book: Charles Lamer, the Wanderer, and other Tales of the African Slave Trade .” Jordan was able to reconstruct the story because he got his hands on valuable research material — Charles Lamar’s own letters, which most historians didn’t even believe existed.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and Nicole Roussell (sitting in for John Kiriakou) are joined by Dr. Gerald Horne, a professor of history at the University of Houston and author of many books, including “Blows Against the Empire: U.S. Imperialism in Crisis.” and “The Deepest South: The United States, Brazil, and the African Slave Trade.”Today marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Robert F. Kennedy. His murder occurred just hours after he won the California Democratic primary. Kennedy probably would have gone on to win the 1968 election, and then, probably would have ended the Vietnam War. How would the world have been different if Robert Kennedy had lived?

Despite the British being early abolitionists, a significant slave trade remained in the western Indian Ocean through the mid-1800s, even after the cessation of most imperial slave trading activities in the Atlantic World. The British Royal Navy’s response was to dispatch a squadron to patrol East Africa’s coast. Following what began as a simple policing action, Squadron: Ending the African Slave Trade (Overlook Duckworth Press, 2017) is the story of four Royal Naval officers who witnessed and wrote about the rampant slave trading in this region, while attempting to capture slaving vessels and recover enslaved peoples. The book grew from historian John Broich’s passion to hunt down firsthand accounts of these untold stories. Through research at archives throughout the U.K., Broich tells a tale of defiance in the face of political corruption, while delivering thrills in the tradition of high seas heroism. John Broich is the author of London: Water and the Making of a Modern British City, for which he received the WAMC/Northeast Public Radio’s President Award. He holds a PhD in British History from Stanford University, and is an associate professor at Case Western Reserve University, where he teaches about the British Empire, the British in the Middle East, and World War II. Tyler Yank is a senior doctoral candidate in History at McGill University (Montreal, Canada). Her work explores bonded women and British Empire in the western Indian Ocean World.

Join us tonite as we are joined by Sheik Sharif Anael-Bey who will reveal how the origin of the transatlantic slave trade is Moorish History. The brother will also be doing some much needed fact checking to claims and points made by Brother Reggie during their debate, that took place April 10th. TUNE IN tonight, bring your pad and pen, CLASS IS IN SESSION!!   

Join Sarah Abel for a discussion of her research in genetics and identity. EUROTAST is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN), supporting a new generation of science and humanities researchers to uncover and interpret new evidence on the history and contemporary legacies of the transatlantic slave trade. The network will be running for four years from 2012 to 2016, and will enable 13 PhD researchers in history, archaeology, social anthropology and population genetics to work collaboratively across disciplines to provide new perspectives on this history. The research will focus on three themes: Origins, Life Cycles, and Legacies, which they hope will not only lead them to further detail the slave trading system, but also help demonstrate how slavery fundamentally shaped the cultural and biological experiences of people of African descent around the world. Sarah Abel is a British PhD researcher, based at the International Centre for Research on Slaveries (Centre international de recherches sur les esclavages, CIRESC) in Paris, France. Abel specializes in the history of slave resistance and race relations in Latin American and Caribbean.  Overall, her research aims to look at how the rise in public access to genetic technologies and data is changing the ways in which we think about personal identity, ancestry, and 'race' in different parts of the Atlantic world today.

by Paul Ruffins   Black history may have seemed “lost, stolen or strayed” at one time, but since then much of the African American past has been rediscovered and reanalyzed. Unfortunately, this new research hasn't yet filtered down to high schools, and many students and others still base their thinking on the information that existed in 1968 when CBS News produced the film Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strayed. At that time, many important works on Black history were more than thirty years out of date. For example, W.E.B. DuBois wrote History of the African Slave Trade in 1896 and Black Reconstruction in 1935, and Dr. Lorenzo Green finished The Negro in Colonial New England, 1620-1776 in 1942. Over the past thirty years, historians, anthropologists, and other scholars such as John Blassingame, Dr. Eugene Genovese and Ira Berlin have revolutionized the study of African American life, history, and culture. Some facts are indisputable. A few free Africans came to the New World with Columbus. African slaves first arrived in the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean in 1502 and came to what was to become the United States of America in 1619. Over the next 250 years, some African Americans were freed or freed themselves. The U.S. banned the external slave trade in 1808, and states from Maine to Maryland gradually enacted abolition laws. Unfortunately, some historical questions may never be answered. For example, although estimates range from thirteen million to thirty million, we will probably never know exactly how many people were taken out of Africa during the slave trade because boats and people were counted differently in different African and European languages. Black Issues presents some of the latest thinking to help educators lay to rest these ten common myths and misconceptions that distort and oversimplify nearly 500 years of African American history.

IN THIS BROADCAST WE WILL BE DEALING WITH THE SO-CALLED AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. DID THE TRANS-ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE HAPPEN THE WAY THAT WE WERE TOLD THAT IT DID? THERE'S  A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING NO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN LIKE THAT. THERE IS TALK THAT WE WERE ALREADY OVER HERE IN AMERICA LIVING AS A FREE PEOPLE BEFORE THE COMING OF THE EUROPEANS. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE POINTS THAT WE WILL BE DEALING WITH IN THIS BROADCAST.WE WILL HAVE OUR BRO.ANTHONY EL HERE TO DO THE KNOWLEDGE ON THIS ONE. PEACE  

In the mid-19th century, the Zanzibar slave market was notorious as the last place on earth where human beings could still be bought and sold.

  Black Resistance in the North While historians have endlessly debated the question of black docility under slavery, no such controversy has developed about the response of northern free blacks. Instead these Afro-Americans have until recently remained almost

Several days ago, a majority of the US House of Representatives approved a resolution apologizing for slavery. The Senate has not yet moved on such a measure, and probably has no intention to do so. That it comes today, some 143 years after slavery was prohibited in the Constitution (notice I said 'prohibited', and not stopped, for historians and scholars have uncovered that the trade continued long thereafter, as an underground one, kind of like drugs today), gives us some idea of how deeply slavery still resides in American consciousness, and how empty such an apology is in light of all that has intervened in the century and a half since the cessation of the Civil War. It's like robbing someone, growing fat and rich on stolen wealth, and then passing that person on the street, who is now homeless, destitute and starving -- and tossing him a nickel. (Except, of course, in the case of the US House resolution, there isn't even a nickel!). As the great Black historian, J. A. Rogers taught us (especially in his Africa's Gift to America {1961} ) the wealth of America was founded on African slavery. One need look no further than the brilliant young W.E.B. DuBois, who published his doctoral thesis, The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to the United States of America: 1638-1870 (1896). For, citing contemporary sources, DuBois quoted the following: "The number of persons engaged in the slave - trade, and the amount of capital embarked on it, exceed our powers of calculation. The city of New York has been until of late {1862} the principal port of the world for this infamous trade..." [p. 179]. Centuries of slavery, the intentional destruction of families, tribes, and nations; ripping people asunder from their religions, their clans, their spouses, children, lands and all that they knew and loved -- for centuries -- to build and enrich a nation of strangers -- who enforced the practices of slavery for a hundred years after it's supposed abolition; only to consign the grandchildren of these people to the bitter half-lives of sub-par education, poor housing, second rate health care, under/employment, the cruelties of mass incarceration and a cynical judicial and political system that endlessly engages in white supremacy (without the labels).... Yeah, a political apology should just about cover that. 8/9/08 (c) Mumia Abu-Jamal

A newly expanded version of the Transatlantic Slave Trade Database will be made available on an open access web site in 2008. It now contains details of 35,000 slaving voyages, one third more than in 1999 and much new information on other voyages that were included in the 1999 CD-ROM. This major addition of new data has made it possible to uncover new patterns in the transatlantic slave trade and present those patterns in visually compelling ways. It is now apparent that two distinct transatlantic slave trades existed, that the largest centers for organizing slave voyages were in the Americas, not in Europe, and that African resistance was a major factor in shaping the slave traffic. It is also apparent that abolition of the slave trade had a considerable influence over the composition and direction of transatlantic migration from the Old World to the New in the nineteenth century.
