blackourstory: But everyone has suffered slavery at some point in history…is a commonly-used cliche often heard from people who don’t want to acknowledge the evils done to stolen Africans who suffered the never-before-practiced form of North American Race-based Chattel Slavery. Don’t let people who don’t actually know what they’re talking about when it comes to the history of slavery in other times and whether or not that has anything at all to do with what happened to stolen Africans in North America from 1619 to 1865 bluff you into silence.EVERYTHING has a history… including slavery… and if you’re descended from formerly-enslaved Africans you have A DUTY TO YOURSELF AND YOUR PEOPLE to know enough about that epoch in our history to be able to explain and defend yourself.Happy Black History year.
