African dishonest Revisionism at it again
Commenting
on https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15dTc3p4ij/
The Facebook Upload is ‘dishonestly
revisionist’©
How
has what this young Guy wrote here https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15dTc3p4ij/
debunked the Reality that “Africans sold Africans” into ‘racial Slavery’©, and
laid the Continent open to ‘racial-Colonization’©? Is Betrayal of the African
by the African not perennial with the African Psyche? Even in modern times, is
the ‘African Betrayal of Africans’© not how Persons like Patrice Lumumba, Thomas
Sankara, and Muammar Gaddafi got murdered, and Idi Amin displaced? I am African, by the way, and must
own up that I contributed to Gaddafi’s Demise with my Writing, and ridiculed Amin
(and probably wrote some condemnatory Words about him) until I wised up. Are we
not trying the same thing presently with Ibrahim Traoré?
This
Facebook Upload denying that “Africans sold Africans” into the “Atlantic Slave
Trade” looks like the Collection of different Cuts and Pastes; the Remarks are certainly not integrated to argue the
Uploader’s Disagreement with the Fact of Africans selling Africans to European
Imperialisms. The seeming Cuts and Pastes are also not severally sound to
support this young Uploader’s Sentiment. It is agreeable that the racial-Slavery
of Africans did not start with Africans selling Africans. The racial-Slavery of
Africans commenced from opportunistic Raids along the Coast of Northwest
Africa. Within 50 Years, it had become the Reality of Africans selling fellow
Africans. It was not always for Reasons of Profit. My intended
Magnum Opus, started around the early 1990s or very late 1980s, but which I cannot
now complete, dealt with this “Problematic” intensively.
This
Uploader is just being ‘dishonestly revisionist’©, and I doubt if he is
educated enough to engage himself in the Discussion of “Africans sold Africans.”
His Remarks are commonplace, but he has not even made good Job of rehashing
them. No “history books [would merely] repeat the phrase ‘Africans sold
Africans’.” Academic Writings do not repeat “Phrase[s].” They either argue
Propositions, that is, they explain whatever Claim they make or regurgitate
extant Claims with attendant Explanations. Even the non-academic Historian would
not just “... repeat the phrase ‘Africans sold Africans’” without
contextualising it either by regorging extant Discussion(s) or planting own
Conclusion(s).
The
Uploader’s “Africa didn’t fall because its people lacked unity; it fell because
outside powers learned how to profit from our divisions” is ‘cognitively
disoriented’©, ‘semantically
contradictory’©, and ‘philosophically amiss’©. How can you have “Divisions” and
still possess “Unity?” Besides, the Upload is replete with Excuses for, and
‘Culpability Denial’© of Africans selling Africans into Slavery. The Uploader
has not rebutted or refuted the Reality of “Africans sold
Africans” into racial-Slavery or has he of the other Reality of Africans
facilitating the Capture, and Sale of Africans into racial-Slavery. Those of us
who have visited the Loci of European Entry into Africa, and Departure from
Africa in the Slave Trade Era recognize the absolute Truth of “Africans sold
Africans,” as there were no other Ways of Europeans breaching the natural Defences
of those Locations without full Participation from, and the ‘unstinted Support’©
of Africans.
Which Books?
Quite
frankly, and the Uploader might be contemptuous at this, I have never come
across “history books” claiming “Africans sold Africans.” I will be very
grateful if he would name them for me, and quote from them how they “repeat[ed]
the phrase “Africans sold Africans” without explaining or even describing the
Circumstances. I will not read the Books, but only note them as new Information
for me. I have made this Request of him because as far as I know, it is myself
who started making this Claim in the 1990s onwards on my Websites, and Google+,
and perhaps also on LinkedIn, and Twitter. I was tired of the
Dearth of Admission to this “Self-inflicted Ruin” by Africans on Africans from
Academics we could usefully hail as Africans, i.e., ‘African-African’©,
African-American, African-Arab, African-Asian,
‘African-European’©, ‘African-Oriental, et cetera.
