    About this ebook

    Perspectives: The Evolution of Africans in North America The Three Phases of Permanent Perpetual Slavery uses history from a quasi-clinical perspective. Although this book is not intended as a purely scientifically qualified approach it nevertheless uses elements by observing patterns of events shaping socio-environmental conditions impacting on a targeted group. Breaking the evolutional changes into phases should help to structure a view of the symptoms presented at this point in time. From that you can begin to diagnosis the pathology resulting from the long-term traumatic events. For that reason this book will observe the Peculiar closed system of slavery institutionalized in Colonial America and extending into the core foundation of the American Society as it is today. Hopefully this crude analysis using the three phases of perpetual slavery will bring some understanding of the present day functioning of the identified group, African Americans, and will assist with predicting what path for treatment would most impact the greatest healing.

      Foreword

      With unflinching candor The Evolution of Africans in North America is like a picture of the origins of reported histories of slavery throughout the world. The beginnings of Slavery in North America based on documented facts and hurting poetry, is a foundation for fulfilling the black potential and the black conscious to understand the evolution of racism towards blacks. Slaves were not brought out of Africa. Africans were captured and then enslaved and brought to the Americas. The context of the book slavery is no trumpet fanfare, and no fluttering doves. The psychosomatic forces associated with contents are in conflict that reveal the most unimaginable human pain in connection with the crucifixion. The hypnotic western consciousness associated with the origins of slavery/racism has shaped western thinking about the concept of slavery. Black people don’t want to entertain the objective slave issue however, Evolution of Africans in North America can be a new and powerful psychological tool that can encourage a new introspective spiritual connection to understand the real consciousness about the realities of slavery in America.

      Preface

      WHO AM I?

      AFRICAN AMERICAN OR an AMERICAN AFRICAN

      Why is it important to understand the difference?

      If you are of African descent, how do you prefer to be identified… as Black, Black American, Negro, Negro American, Afro American, or just simply American? Lets’ not leave out some of the other selections such as Colored, Niggra, Darkie, Coon, or the ever special Nigger? Now bear in mind that these are just a sampling of some of the labels assigned to identify a unique group of people at a specific time in world history. So many to choose from. This special group of people all comes from the continent of Africa and reflects their experience in their relationship with America.

      We will start with the use of simple logic coupled with an understanding of basic human function as we observe that the core essence (or spirit) of a person to a large degree is derived from a firm sense of knowing who you are. It’s widely understood that a persons’ identity or how they are identified by others is intrinsic with your personal view of yourself, and your perceived role and association within the world around you. With this agreed understanding, we can then also agree that your core identity which is formulated on your highly important belief system. Our belief system regulates and develops our worldview. That is to say what we believe to be right and wrong, how valued we are and what is our role as we and others perceive us. These critical functions operate on both a conscious and sub-conscious level and together establish our level of pride in self, which is also very directly correlated with your level of pride in whom is also associated as being your people, past and present. As an example, most Americans are proud to be an American because the accepted worldview of the people and country is one of wealth, strength and leadership. Obviously, and despite being a country made up of many different people from many different other countries of origins, most Americans have established what can be called multi-levels of pride. One such level is justly tied to their current country, America. But, in most cases and just as important, most have established and maintains a profound sense of pride in their LAND of origin, and more specifically, the land of their ancestors from which they originated before forming this, their current country. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is quite healthy to hyphenate your American heritage with that of your ancestral heritage. We know that major principles in psychology dictate that a person must have an accurate self-knowledge and self- acceptance of who they are before they can successfully complete their development into a healthy and whole person. A healthy identity will allow for a healthy perception of self and thus, personal validation as a worthy person with a positive role and contribution in the world around them.

      However, on the other hand, research strongly suggests that otherwise by withholding, distorting, and manipulating such important identity–forming information as described earlier, it is very likely that a person’s ancestral origins and natural qualities of being a valued human being can be adjusted to something totally different. By withholding and replacing positive and accurate information with false negative and inaccurate information in a controlled social environment, such manipulation can only cause a formation of negative perceptions of self, worthiness, and a people’s role in the world. Once accepted, it will create feelings of inadequacy and lack of validation creating an unhealthy identity development. Predictably, the obvious results will be reflected in that group of peoples’ subsequent and on-going unhealthy attempts at self- validation and worthiness. Recognizable symptoms possibly would manifest in their futile attempts to assume another’s group identity obviously not their own or better put, adopt the identity of their oppressor. Dislike of self, and those people who are alike and within their socially prescribed role and worldview as a people will on multiple levels cruelly react with subtle and/or overt self-destructive behaviors. Behaviors that are born from perpetual frustrations and failed attempts to avoid and deny those negative perceptions of self will develop the norm. A created false identity when re-enforced over many generations by hegemonic forces from the broader social order with the use of laws and customs allowing the generational perpetuation of that false identity of which it created in the hidden past conceivably can perpetuate itself until interrupted and corrected.

      From this frame of thought as we move forward into understanding the purpose of the this book Perspective: The Evolution of Africans in North America, the Three Phases of Perpetual Slavery, keep in mind the absolute necessity for a person to be grounded with accurate knowledge of their ancestral land, culture, and especially, those from whom they descend. BLACKLAND, NEGROLAND, COLOREDLAND, or NIGGERLAND are no such places on this earth . . . they simply never existed. Now what do you think would become of those people who don’t have knowledge of a positive ancestor nor LAND to descend from? This material will start the investigation into the who, what, when, where, why, and how for the purpose of

      No Slaves Were Taken Out of Africa-They were MADE in America - Elvis Sonny Gibson

      From the aforementioned perspective hopefully now its better understood why, as a people, Africans in America seem to stay in a perpetual state of identity confusion. Those labels seem to have taught American born Africans to have absolutely no healthy or positive connection to their ancestral land culture or people. If one would take a moment to postulate that without accurate knowledge of land, culture, and especially ancestors, it would be theoretically possible to re-create a large identified and isolated
