America’s Color Crisis'

The Storm In America

“The Storm in America”

I awoke this morning from a dream where guns killed an Arabic man at a car dealership. The man was simply in tune with selling cars on his father’s property here in America. I say that the storm America faces comes from the ineffective realm of equality—the color storm of black and white, and not the absolute truth behind colonialism, slavery, freedom, and justice.

If you want to understand the history of the Arabs and American relationship, google George Dow; and then the Ottoman Empire; yes, they, too, held us as slaves or Slavs and serfs in their country; they fought the British against abolishing slavery in North Africa. But that’s not the surface of the truth; what I will tell you now will shock you.

During the complicated stories of slavery, we hear that blacks were underprivileged of all races; slavery has haunted us the worst, and we are still enslaved. History makes us believe we were held captive throughout our migration to America, but that is not true. African Kings sold enslaved people to Muslims. African Kings such as Dahomey, Whydah, and Gezo made a fortune selling us to Arabs.

Research also tells me that millions of white enslaved people were shipped to North Africa, and a fifth of the United States budget in 1797 went to North African Muslim nations. The great Ottoman Empire enslaved millions of Anglo-Saxons. Did you know Anglo-Saxsons, is a code word for a white enslaved person?

We can now understand the underlying problem in America comes from a universal evil that has ensiled our minds to draw us to the horror of just the Transatlantic Slave Trade. We have already discussed the widespread of slavery throughout ancient history, but slavery was a worldwide institution that has affected the lives of all.

All races, all religions, and all cultures participated in the slave trade, from the Indian Ocean Slave Trade to the modern-day sex trafficking slave trade. Slavery will forever exist, and the injustices of freedom will remain an open pit full of distraction and half-truths. Now the new form of slavery comes from lawless leaders encouraging you to weaponize and demonize your children through the encroachment of ideological programming.

Know your history and the facts behind who you are; if not, we will continue seeing the world as black and white. Equality should be for all, not just for the hardships of a kindred race that is welcomed by all but hated by many.
