On April 6th in Hoodoo History: The New York City Slave Revolt of 1712 🔥✊🏾

23 enslaved Afrikans set fire to NYC one year after the slave trade markets officially opened by the East River on Wall Street.

• On the night of April 6th, 1712, 23 Afrikans armed themselves with swords, knives, guns - laced with prayer & faith - and fire against White Slavers in the streets of NYC. They set an outhouse ablaze at the home of Peter Van Tilborough on Maiden Lane, at what was then the northern edge of Manhattan. They then picked off any White Slavers nearby who tried to stop it, from the cover of darkness. 9 Slavers were killed and 6 others were injured by nights end.

• On the following morning, the Governor of NY ordered two militias to "drive the island" aka capture & kill the rebels. 6 Afrikans took their lives in protest. The rest were burned alive or "broken" at the wheel. This unprecedented event hitting the streets of NYC quickly spurred the NY State Assembly to pass an act that would permit Slavers to punish Afrikans to the extreme measures by "not extending to life or member", thus cementing a new precedent for their cruelty in the North. In addition, Slavers would now be required to pay $200 dollars in security fees to the State & annuity for any freed Afrikans. Despite these stringent laws, NYC would see more slave rebellions in the next two decades; the next being in 1741.

To be of Hoodoo is, and has always been, to fight back. Let this be a reminder, forever to be drilled into our psyches: We been fighting. We been sacrificing. We been spiriting. We been victorious.

Today, 83 Maiden Lane sits in the infamous Financial District of Manhattan & now serves as the headquarters of the AHRC (Association of Help for Retarded Children). But beneath the cloak of modern amenities & reconstructive efforts, the once-scorched Earth still remembers the night of April 6th. This is where we made our stand. This, & the streets along the northern edge of Manhattan, is a place of power.

It is important to remember the when & WHERE of this event (and those that followed) as many to this day falsely believe that the North was somehow the righteous exception to the Eurocentric cruelties of Maafa. The North was not the exception then & is not the exception now. May we:

• Meditate on the cost of true freedom that these Ancestors paid in blood so we wouldn't have to.

• Pour libations for them, especially those of us residing on or near the Financial District, as this is where our Ancestors were bought & sold from the docks on the East River to Wall Street.

• Remember our plight & presence in the Northern states that have lightened their reputation with the mask of progressive thinking.

MAAFA - Because We Are (@maafahardcore)

 

[ausetkmt]

okay see I try to stay in my lane cause some folks get triggered bout somethings, but I am also one of those people who sees certain things and has these bad memories that keep comin back to me, like the M A A F A ..

Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT RIGHT?

MAAFA is used to describe the history and ongoing effects of atrocities inflicted upon African people, particularly when committed by non-Africans (specifically by Europeans and Arabs in the context of the history of slavery, including the Trans-Saharan slave trade, the Indian Ocean slave trade and the Atlantic slave trade) which continues to the present day through imperialism, colonialism and other forms of oppression.

YEAH We Black People consider this an ongoing holocaust against us in global terms because it doesn't matter where you look - we are the victims of choice; and the collateral this crime is built upon.

such a strange and sadistic twisted circumstance to be still entwined within since the late 1400's; and still unable to get any Reparations for the conditions - yet alone corrections to the conditions we continue to endure today.

Referred to as a "trade", this prolonged period of persecution and suffering is rendered as a commercial dilemma, rather than a moral atrocity

yes I'm I guess you could say a bit salty, so..

go ahead if you feel the need to respond cause I'm ret - and waiting,

somebody gotta do it, so why not me

The Maafa, the African Holocaust, the Holocaust of Enslavement, or the Black Holocaust are political neologisms which have been popularized since 1988 and used to describe the history and ongoing effects of atrocities inflicted upon African people, particularly when committed by non-Africans (specifically by Europeans and Arabs in the context of the history of slavery, including the Trans-Saharan slave trade, the Indian Ocean slave trade and the Atlantic slave trade) which continues to the present day through imperialism, colonialism and other forms of oppression.

For example, Maulana Karenga (2001) puts slavery in the broader context of the Maafa, suggesting that its effects exceed mere physical persecution and legal disenfranchisement: the "destruction of human possibility involved redefining African humanity to the world, poisoning past, present and future relations with others who only know us through this stereotyping and thus damaging the truly human relations among peoples".

The Canadian scholar Adam Jones characterized the mass death of millions of Africans in the Atlantic slave trade as a genocide due to it being "one of the worst holocausts in human history" because it resulted in 15 to 20 million deaths according to one estimate, and he claims that arguments to the contrary such as "it was in slave owners' interest to keep slaves alive, not exterminate them" are "mostly sophistry" by stating: "the killing and destruction were intentional, whatever the incentives to preserve survivors of the Atlantic passage for labor exploitation. To revisit the issue of intent already touched on: If an institution is deliberately maintained and expanded by discernible agents, though all are aware of the hecatombs of casualties it is inflicting on a definable human group, then why should this not qualify as genocide

The usage of the Swahili term: Maafa, lit. 'Great Disaster' in English was introduced by Marimba Ani's 1988 book Let the Circle Be Unbroken: The Implications of African Spirituality in the Diaspora.It is derived from a Swahili term for "disaster, terrible occurrence or great tragedy". The term was popularized in the 1990s. The Maafa represents a way to discuss the historic atrocities and impact of the African Slave Trade.

The term African Holocaust is preferred by some academics, such as Maulana Karenga, because it implies intention.[19] One problem noted by Karenga is that the word Maafa can also translate to "accident" and in the view of some scholars the holocaust of enslavement was not accidental. Ali Mazrui notes that the word "holocaust" is a "dual plagiarism" since the term is derived from Ancient Greek and thus despite being associated with the genocide of the Jews, no one can have a monopoly over the term. Mazrui states: "This borrowing from borrowers without attribution is what I call 'the dual plagiarism.' But this plagiarism is defensible because the vocabulary of horrors like genocide and enslavement should not be subject to copyright-restrictions".]

Some Afrocentric scholars prefer the term Maafa instead of African Holocaust[21] because they believe that indigenous African terminology more truly conveys the events. The term Maafa may serve "much the same cultural psychological purpose for Africans as the idea of the Holocaust serves to name the culturally distinct Jewish experience of genocide under German Nazism". Other arguments in favor of Maafa rather than African Holocaust emphasize that the denial of the validity of the African people's humanity is an unparalleled centuries-long phenomenon: "The Maafa is a continual, constant, complete, and total system of human negation and nullification"-

The historian Sylviane Diouf posits that terms like "Atlantic slave trade" are deeply problematic because they serve as euphemisms for intense violence and mass murder. Referred to as a "trade", this prolonged period of persecution and suffering is rendered as a commercial dilemma, rather than a moral atrocity. With trade as the primary focus, the broader tragedy becomes consigned to a secondary point as mere "collateral damage" of a commercial venture. However, others feel that avoidance of the term "trade" is an apologetic act on behalf of capitalism, absolving capitalist structures of involvement in human catastrophe. Roger Garaudy accused America of genocide up to an estimated two hundred million Africans

This is absolutely hilarious.

I was just informed that someone is accusing me of calling for the extermination of black babies in the womb in order to prevent the Great Replacement Theory from happening.

Obviously the accusation is entirely fabricated and the person making it is making crap up to try to cause infighting among pro-lifers on tumblr. But anyone who believes it obviously…

1. Has not read any of my posts ever about abortion

2. Does not actually know what the Great Replacement Theory is (or thinks I don’t, at least)

So anyway, in case there’s any confusion:

- No one should be aborted (including black babies)

- Eugenics is bad

- Here’s the Maafa 21 documentary (which I have posted numerous times on this blog) that explains how eugenicist groups conspired to use birth control, forced sterilization, and abortion to “control” the black population (and again, to be perfectly clear, I am saying this is a bad thing)

Oh did I mention already that eugenics is bad and I want all preborn babies given equal protection under the law?

Despite many African people writing about the MAAFA from being enslaved themselves, experiences of the diaspora both outside & inside of Africa, or from a historical perspective, many African people are indifferent or don't know about what happened to some of their own Ancestors

Today we venerate Ancestor "Phillis Wheatley" on her 270th birthday 🎉

Her masterful talent & revolutionary use of words in poetry, spawned her storied success in becoming the first Afrikan descendant poet to be published in U.S. History.

I place quotations "Phillis Wheatley", because that was NOT her name. "Phillis" was the name of the slave ship that robbed her of her home, dignity, & identity. "Wheatley " was the name of the European slaver who "owned" her. Both names are a lie (as are many of ours today) forced upon her as a reflection of her circumstances. I feel compelled to emphasize this as the dark truth of our history & how it presently affects us generations later, is consistently ignored. Sadly, we will never know her true name. Yet she remains a shining example of how Black excellence always perseveres despite circumstance or any interruption to our history.

Born in Senegal/Gambia, "Phillis Wheatley" was just 8 years old when she was kidnapped and sold into Slavery. She was taken to Boston, MA where she was purchased by the Wheatleys as a hand servant. Even at such a tender age, "Phillis Wheatley" showed exceptional intellectual promise. At the Wheatley's instruction, she learned to read Greek & Latin. At age 12, she discovered Alexander Pope, who she'd begin to model her own literary work after. She was first published at age 13 when her work was featured in a Rhode Island newspaper.

As her prominence grew, the Wheatleys sought a publisher to release an anthology of her work. They pursued her publication in England. There, she garnered the interest of many & the support of a Countess, who was a pro-abolitionist. A publisher approached the Wheatleys with interest, but demanded proof that it was indeed "Phillis'" work. Shortly thereafter, a literary trial unsued. A young "Phillis Wheatley" endured 18 White male arbiters in Boston who were tasked with validating her work; none in the U.S. believed that an enslaved young Afrikan woman was capable of articulating her thoughts into such impeccable work. Of course, she proved them all very wrong. 11 months later, "Phillis Wheatley's" 1773 anthology was published.

Her work was deeply attuned to the societal issues of her time; from Slavery to the Abolition Movement, to the warped irony of the European transplants writhing to escape their British dominants in the wake of the Revolutionary War. Though her classical eurocentric literary training emanated from her work, it never diminishing her voice. Her masterful use of allegories - drawn particularly from Greek mythology- affirmed her perspective as an enslaved Afrikan Woman. Due to her growing popularity & growing wealthy patrons, John Wheatley caved into the pressure to emancipate her. With her life as her own for the first time in her life, "Phillis Wheatley" sought to pursue a career in writing poetry. However, the Revolutionary War quickly redirected the financial resources of her wealthy patrons on both sides of the Atlantic.

"In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance." - "Phillis Wheatley"  

We pour libations & give her💐 today as we celebrate her for her perseverance & revolutionary words, and elevate her in healing. May be remembered for her truth spoken through the power of words & the truth in her identity.

Offering suggestions: libations of water, read/share her poetry, & foods/music from Gambia/Senegal

*Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.

Rapper Boosie Badazz says if he were back in the antebellum South, he would probably be a slave.

During an interview with former battle rapper turned talk show host Math Hoffa, the “Wipe Me Down” chart-topper was asked about the almost equally controversial Kanye West.

Boosie shares on the “My Expert Opinion” show that he was “p##### off at Kanye West” last year when he made several inflammatory statements about the Black Lives Matter movement, George Floyd, the Jews, and slavery. He said he was so upset that he could not stop tweeting and “misspelling words” trying to get his outrage out on Twitter.

“I don’t like what Kanye do to our Black race,” the Louisiana recording artist said. “I don’t know what Blacks done done to him, bro.”

Math Hoffa jumped in and asked if he was referring to the White Lives Matter shirts— which caused an uproar with the other guests in the barber shop setting.

Still, Boosie didn’t get distracted. He was clear on what he feels Kanye’s perspective on is on Black people.

“[Ye] said slavery was a choice,” the guest blurted out.

Math Hoffa dropped a bomb and said he felt the same way, shifting the conversation to what he would have done if he was a victim of the Transatlantic Slave Trade (the MAAFA).

“I don’t,” Boosie said, vehemently shaking his head “no,” and mimicking what a whip might look like going against an enslaved person’s back.

Hoffa tried to challenge that and ask why didn’t people rise up and fight back or stop Europeans from going into Africa and stealing his ancestors. He asked why people didn’t risk their lives or choose death.

Boosie (nor many of the other guests) jacking Hoffa.

“I don’t agree with nothing Kanye West says about Blacks. I feel as a person, from what I seen him do and talk about Black people, I feel like he has no love or respect for the Black race,” the rapper said, adding, “I feel he loves the white race more.”

To this point, Math Hoffa brought the infamous 2005 Hurricane Katrina telethon and Ye’s comments about the then-sitting president.

Boosie was clear.

“He said ‘George Bush doesn’t care about Black people,’” the rapper said, “but he shows he doesn’t love Black people.”

One of Boosie’s problems with Kanye is that he believes the artist has a dynamic platform but has chosen to use it multiple times to tear down and “disgrace” Black people, particularly pointing at his comments regarding Floyd.

As the conversation intensified, Hoffa asked Boosie if would he have fought to the death to not be enslaved or have his family members enslaved.

“At that time, I am going to do what I have to do to stay alive,” Boosie said. “If I run, I’ma die.”

“Now let me flip it on you. If a million of your brothers and sisters got burned up in a fire, would you like somebody talking about them or saying anything that is not supporting them?” he asked Math Hoffa.

Hoffa didn’t answer the question, perhaps not understanding that Boosie was referencing the Jewish Holocaust.

During the discussion, Hoffa continued to be challenged, even by his co-host who said, “You’re speaking from the perspective of a free man. You don’t know what it feels like to be in captivity. You have no idea what that is like and to sit there and judge someone who was…”

Boosie jumps in and says, “You don’t know if you’ve never been in captivity. Some people not gonna run if you over them with guns and whips on your back.”

Hoffa asked, “What you gonna do?”

“I wouldn’t know. I wasn’t in captivity,” Boosie, a man from the deep South, answered.

“If I run, I’ma die. I probably would have been a motherf##king slave,” he said. “If I was born in captivity…”

Math interrupts and says, “You? That’s hard to believe.”

The consensus of Boosie and the other host, “It’s hard to think about being born into captivity.”

“That’s just like me being born in the hood and staying a hood n##ga. If I was born into captivity and all I know since a child is praising and being took care by a white man I probably would have been a f##king Django or a slave overseer. I would probably be f##k up,” he said.

.....Mhubiri 3:1.....

JE, NINI MAANA YA MAJIRA NA NYAKATI?

1. MAANA YA MAJIRA.

Baada ya kujifunza nini maana ya majira, Tuanze kuchunguza.

Je, majira haya manne kwa mwanadamu kiroho yana maana gani?

1. (d). MAJIRA YA MASIKA (SPRING SEASON)

....Huu ni msimu wa mvua nyingi, machipuko na kustawi sana hasa uoto.

Msimu wa mvua pamoja na kuonekana mzuri, lakini ni muhimu kuchukua tahadhari kwa sababu mvua za ajabu unyesha na kusababisha Mafuriko na maafa makubwa hutokea.

Kiroho msimu huu ni mzuri sana na nyimbo nyingi uimbwa kama vile.... NIMENYESHEWA NA MVUA YA BARAKA... ni wakati wa kicheko, kufurahi na kusahau huzuni, MUNGU anyeshe mvua ya baraka kwako.

......FURAHINI, basi, enyi wana wa Sayuni, MKAMFURAHIE BWANA, MUNGU wenu; kwa kuwa yeye HUWAPA ninyi MVUA ya MASIKA, kwa KIPIMO cha HAKI, naye HUWANYESHEA mvua, mvua ya MASIKA, na mvua ya VULI, kama kwanza.

....Yoeli 2:23....

Wakati unafurahia masika kuna mwingine majira hayo mvua yamezuiliwa kwake hayapo, Hajawahi kujua kwamba kuna mvua ya baraka kwake ni Ukame, maangaiko, Mashaka ya kesho nitaishije, itakuwaje nk.

.....Tena NIMEIZUIA MVUA msiipate, ilipobaki miezi mitatu kabla ya mavuno; nami nimenyesha mvua juu ya MJI MMOJA, NIKAIZUIA mvua ISINYESHE juu ya mji MWINGINE; sehemu moja ilipata mvua, na sehemu isiyopata mvua ilikatika.

.....Amosi 4:7...

Mwingine ananyeshewa na mvua, ila muulize ni mvua gani inanyesha kwake (Ni mvua ya gharika, Maafa, uharibifu) na yenyewe ni mvua pia

....Badala ya mvua aliwapa MVUA YA MAWE, Na MOTO wa miali katika nchi yao.

.....Zaburi 105:32....

Wakati unaomba usiombe Mvua, bali Tambua unaomba mvua ya aina gani. Ukiomba Mme /mke, tambua Mme /mke wa aina gani. Ukiomba mtoto, sio ilimradi mtoto - hata kibaka ni mtoto pia, Ukiombea Uchumi bainisha wazi unaomba upi na MUNGU atanufaikaje nao, la sivyo unaweza kupewa na usijue kama umejibiwa au ukakulemea (ukakuangamiza). Tunaomba kwa roho na kwa akili pia.

....Imekuwaje, basi? NITAOMBA kwa ROHO, tena NITAOMBA kwa AKILI pia; mtaimba kwa roho, tena nitaimba kwa akili pia.

.....1 Kor 14:15....

ZINGATIO KWENYE MAJIRA

(i). Je umetambua upo majira gani kwa sasa na unaelekea majira gani? (Jibu)

(ii). Tambua wazi kwamba majira na wakati yamewekwa na MUNGU, hivyo kila mtu uwe unamjua MUNGU au humjui MUNGU lazima utapita kila majira (Iwe kiangazi, Vuli, baridi au masika) hauwezi kukwepa hata ukikemea ni jambo lililoamriwa na limefungamanishwa na maisha yako.

.....Muda NCHI IDUMUPO, MAJIRA ya KUPANDA(Masika), na MAVUNO(Vuli), wakati wa BARIDI(Kipupwe) na wakati wa HARI(Kiangazi), wakati wa kaskazi na wakati wa kusi, mchana na usiku, havitakoma.

.....Mwa 8:22....

2. MAANA YA NYAKATI.

....Tutaendelea....
