That Time When Some Carcass-Worshiper Called Me A House Negro Because I Suspected the Motives of Muslims

I don’t mean to bash Mr. Yerby, who opined that “North American slavery [was] indisputably the most abysmally cruel system of bondage in the whole of human history,” but his opinion is objectively disputable. See what you think.

The following is from 2010. I was reminded of it when a guest in this post pointed out that Americans were not the first to export black Africans as slaves. I share it every now and then, usually when someone assumes that I know nothing about the 1400-year-long sacking of my father's home continent. But, with past slaving and slave-holding being all the rage of late, this information has become pertinent once again.

As for the shame-monger who referred to me as a House Negro because I gave the public side-eye to the Ground Zero Mosque -- which never got built -- it turns out that he is Philadelphia Family Court Judge Wayne Bennett. Bennett runs a blog called Field Negro.

A lawyer calls a veteran with a two-year degree a House Negro. Don't you just love the irony?

In 2008, I posted a YouTube video that had been part of a series exposing the truth about the Islamic Civilization with special emphasis on the horrors of the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade. My intent was to counter the exhortations of Barack Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and the like-minded who continue to excoriate America and the rest of Western Civilization for past sins against black African Slaves and Americans of African descent.

The owners of YouTube, however, have blocked the account of John Alembillah Azumah -- the man interviewed in the series and the author of the book, The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa: A Quest for Inter-religious Dialogue. One can guess that some people were offended by the series -- a state of affairs which often occurs when the truth is told.

Here's Azumah's preamble:

The success of Mohammedan Islam in deceiving, misinforming, deforming and contorting both history and reality over a period of almost fourteen hundred years has been astounding--that is, until now.

The greatest tragedy about this particular subject is that most of the descendants of African slavery--the black people in the Americas, around the world, as well as among the African blacks--are totally ignorant of the actual facts.

Before we lose the concentration of our visitors, I would like to make the following statement and then prove it: that the worst, most inhumane and most diabolical of the black African Slave Trade was initiated, refined, perpetrated and implemented by the Mohammedan Arabs and, later, aided and abetted by the black converts to Mohammedan Islam.

I predict that, as usual, the two subcultures--those of denial of facts and of Political Correctness--will attack us without once disproving a single statement and/or conclusion that we make.

And here are some pertinent excerpts:

While the European involvement in the African Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to the Americas lasted for just over three centuries, the Arab involvement in the African Slave Trade has lasted fourteen centuries and, in some parts of the Mohammedan world, is still continuing to this day.

(...)

It should also be noted that black slaves were castrated based on the assumption that the blacks had an ungovernable sexual appetite.

(...)

A comparison of the Islamic Slave Trade to the American Slave Trade reveals some extremely interesting contrasts.

While two out of every three slaves shipped across the Atlantic were men, the proportions were reversed in the Islamic Slave Trade: two women for every man were enslaved by the Muslims.

While the mortality rate of slaves being transported across the Atlantic was as high as ten percent, the percentage of slaves dying in transit in the Trans-Sahara[n] and East African Slave market was a staggering eighty to ninety percent.

(...)

While many children were born to slaves in the Americas--the millions of their descendants are citizens in Brazil and the United States of today--very few descendants of the slaves that ended up in the Middle East survived. While most slaves who went to the Americas could marry and have families, most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East were castrated and most of the children born to the women were killed at birth.

Azumah pronounces the denial of the facts concerning the on-going Islamic Slave Trade as 'obscene.'

There were slaves in Ancient Rome too. Kind of most of recorded history, there has been slavery.

It will be interesting to see the Muslims and the Chinese battle it out for world domination, once the liberals have destroyed America.

I think the person who runs the Etymology site never took Latin. He has servis but it should be servus (the feminine form was serva). He doesn't point out that the word "serf" comes from the Latin word which meant "slave."

Some one please explain to me what a “carcass worshiper” is. I read the article and did a search online, but I still don’t have a clue what this means.

Brazil/Portuguese imported 5 times the Africans as slaves as the US.

Huge difference was after arrival, their treatment by Portuguese was so brutal something like 50% died - thus the need to import more.

Good news today is that in the majority of Brazil - say 95% - prejudice is unknown for the simple reason that almost 95% of Brazilians have black blood and are mixed race.

But in upper crust business and government, the Europeans generally rule and the racism at that level is much worse than the worst here.

I didn’t take Latin, either, it’s all Greek to me. But then I didn’t study Greek, either.

I agree with you, particularly the comment on ‘serfs,’ and that most people don’t think of them as ‘slaves’ in the feudal system. They may not have been in law, but they certainly were in practice.
