This essay needs to go viral, especially in Africa.

In the USA, the following need courtesy copies: the White House, the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakan, Quannell X(please forgive spelling errors), all parts of our educational and penal systems.

This is not to be confused with the enslavement and castration of conservatives and conservatism by the Republican Party.

Go viral to be read ?

Would not your target audience need to be able to read ?

A very large percent of them are barely literate

Two different passions have been the cause of the adoption of slavery; the idleness and profligacy of the Mussulman in the one case, and the money-making mania of the Anglo-American in the other.

A highly relevant point. Slavery in America was a profit-making enterprise. Slavery in the Muslim world was generally, though not perhaps exclusively, a form of display or ostentation. It was not capitalistic in motivation.

while the Turkish negro turned into a tool proper to support the luxurious life of his master is doomed to perish, the American negro being made an agent of cultivation and industry, prospers, and his progeny multiplies.

It should be pointed out that down thru history slaves have seldom reproduced themselves, and maintaining the stock, much less expanding it, always required imports.

This was apparently as true in Rome, Brazil and the Caribbean as in the Muslim world.

Only in the United States did the slave population not only maintain its numbers, but match the free population in one of the greatest population explosions in history.

While I make zero excuses for the practice of American slavery, its unique history of population growth seems to indicate some reduced severity of the institution compared to is competitors.

Very interesting. That some blacks consider Islam to be somehow “liberating” versus “the oppressive Christianity of the slave master”, even to the point of casting off their family names in favor of Muslim ones, is incredibly ironic considering the role Christianity played in abolishing black slavery not only in the West, but also in the lands of Islam as well. Not to mention that Christians never did anything as cruel, sick and twisted as castration on a systematic basis.

Interesting article. I have long known that the Islamic world was the last to reject African slaves just within my lifetime (if they even have completely done that today) but I was always puzzled as to why American blacks would be drawn to Islamic religion and especially the Arabic names.

It never made a damn lick of sense to me for some guy from Louisville, KY changing his name from that of a noted, and very brave abolitionist named Cassius Clay and instead take the name Muhammad Ali, a man who personally enslaved thousands of Africans for the Ottoman Empire.

Just never made any damn sense to me.

Why not see if you can get an AP US or World History teacher to present a paper on it at the national meeting?

Disseminating this history might do wonders.
