Response to Yusuf's question

The Middle Passage never happened as it has been written in American history. Moors have been here centuries before europeans ever took to the waters of their shorelines, as evidenced by the centuries-old Olmec heads, pyramids and navigational spheres found in south and central america.

Reconstruction after the Civil War was as much about rewriting history as it was about rebuilding the land. The numbers don't match up and numbers don't lie...people do. If each plantation had an average of 15 slaves, how many plantations would have to be built to house over 10 million slaves?

Don't believe the hype. The Middle Passage story is a ploy to get the indigenous people of this land to abandon their birthright by default and to steal the rights we have due to the law of nations. I'm still looking for confirmed evidence that you can hold in your hand, but this knowledge comes more from the inner spirit than from confirmation from a book. tqt
