Why is it that African Americans seem to think that their race was the only race enslaved?
To answer your question why African Americans think they were
the only group of people that were enslaved are do the following:
1) The racist propaganda that was pepectuated during and after the
slavery period in America. African American were told that they
were inferior to whites and all other people; that they were cursed
in the bible, "The curse of Ham", which stated that blacks were
cursed with dark skin and would become the lowest of slaves, (
servants of servants) This myths was first orginated by Europeon
Jews and is untrue. The bible tells us that God's punishes a nation
to the third and fourth generation. Also, the curse was on Caanan
not Ham's(3) other sons Egypt, Put, Libya, Furthermore, this
prophecy was long fulfilled when King Solomon of Israel conquered
and enslaved the Caananite people. They were titled the servants of
servants because the Hebrew were slaves in Egypt, but eventually
enslaved the Caananites. The Caananite people were of Hamite shock,
but were a mixed raced do to intermarriage. (2) Do to ingnorance
and lack of knowledge many African American do not realize that all
races of mankind were enslaved at some point in history. Even,
Eastern and Southern Europeons ( white people) were enslaved by
Arab invaders in the 7, 8, and 18th century in North Africa and
Arabia, and along the Barbary Coast.
