Dope documentary about the Haitian Revolution

[Ziggiy]

millions of of innocent African men, women, and children were enslaved and treated inhumanely...

But they don't hear you though.... The White Cacs would've EVENTUALLY seen the error of their ways and the black Haitians and White Oppressors would've held hands and sang Kumbaya

The Revolution was not only necessary, it was 100% Just.

The commentary in this thread

Yall nikkas got me googling names and shyt looking like

Why the fukk didnt they teach us this shyt in school

Also, a real quick book to learn a lot about African history is J. A. Rogers World's Great Men of Color

Goes from Ancient Egypt all the way to the 20th century.

The same reason they never taught about Marcus Garvey and the UNIA, O. W. Gurley and the Black Wall Street, African kingdoms of Kush, Nubia, Ethiopia, Zulu, and Asante.

Because they have to keep the perception that blacks are inferior to whites by nature.

Read up on Fort Mose breh, it was a colony in Florida of ex slaves before the Emancipation Proclamation was even written. They like to pretend that the only slave rebellions here was Nat Turner and Africans were just sitting around waiting to be freed. There were revolts and riots all over this country.

No lie my nikka...I'm starting get angry,

I feel like of been robbed of my pride

I'm bout read up on some this shyt

I can never take Nas' militant stands too serious

Why is that?

 

[intruder]

So, whats up with the beef between DR and Haiti?

Does it still exist 2013 or is that some old shyt?

1. They're our next door neighbor. You always hate your neighbor
2. We invaded their land and occupied them for 42 years. Our excuse was "to prevent the european powers from trying to infiltrate through the East side of the island and take over Haiti" but one of the major factors for it was simple: Haitians got greedy.
3. The other thing is Dominican culture is very ANTI-BLACK. Their Popullation is mostly mixed because they had laws PREVENTING 2 blacks from marrying eachother in order to prevent more new black babies. Haiti having kicked out most of the white population out during the revolution is well over 90% black

Anybody else wanna read up on some rarely talked about slave revolts then you need to look up Gaspar Yanga. He lead slave rebellions in Mexico and took his followers up into the mountains where they established a maroon community. They used to be on some Somali pirate shyt ambushing Spanish caravans that were delivering food and what not. The Spaniards finally had enough and sent a militia up there but Yanga and his goonies bodied em all After they saw he wasn't nothing to mess with they asked for peace, Yanga laid out an 11 point program by which the Spanish had to abide by (Reminds you of the Panthers 10 point plan dont it ). The town, which was named after Yanga, was the first free town in the Americas.

One of my favorite books last year I read was this book by this dude named Supreme Understanding.

It's a fun easy read that talks about alot of black history from the indian dalits and Moors to present day stuff.

He even has a Spanish one called
La Brega:Como Sobrevir en el barrio.

You never hear about people like General Takahashi from Japan who showed up to the states and began meeting with the NOI leaders talking about how Japan was commited to the black man's struggle in America. Eventually dude was snatched up by the gov't I heard.

We never learn about things like the Non Aligned Movement which currently has 120 members that's against imperialism, racism, colonialism and neo-colonialism.

Well back to my original point. The revolution was over and the whites were
Leaving the country. Haiti basically already won and all was left was the few thousand white that were unable to leave the country. the oppression was over, all they had to do was say ALL GET THE fukk OUT or STAY BUT live under our rules. instead the hero Dessalines wanted his revenge and that was to kill every last one of those whites at the time they couldn't put up a fight. Men women children massacred for nothing. Kind of like when the concentration camp were told to kill all Jews when the Americans were approaching. Shooting fish in a barrel. How you expect to lead a new nation when you resort to the same violence that the previous leaders forced on you.

Toussaint Louverture = Hero
Adolf Dessalines = scum bag murderer

Couldn't you say the same thing for the massacre of haitians in 1937?
30 thousand innocent men and women killed.

Ironic that you say how can they expect to lead a nation when you resort to the same violence that the previous leaders forced on you.

Breh, not too many people know about the Maroons. They were the ultimate trolls . In Jamaica they had successful rebellions for 150 years. They lived in the mountains and they'd come out, free a bunch of slaves, burn down the plantations and land, then run back into the mountains.

Queen Nanny was one of the leaders of the Maroons on that island. She's on the Jamaican 50 dollar bill and was from the Ashanti tribe. She was so thorough they thought shorty had magical powers and shyt. She was just bout dat life

 

[Ohnoits]

Jean Jacques Dessalines massacred thousands of innocent men women and children

Who cares? They didn't care when they were eating off the plates of people that they stole the children of, chopped off their arms, tortured and raped.

Boo hoo I wish I fukking would cry over that.

This is like feeling sorry for the Germans when their civilians got murdered in WW2.

Shouldn't have killed and gassed all those innocent people
