Beautiful one there @humanearl. I really like how passionate you are about your posts.
It is really pathetic how we were robbed of our traditions and origin. A lot really happened. The one that really made me see how a lot of future was tarnished and very little was know about grandparent was the few instances in which slave women were released from field work for extended periods during slavery. Even during the last week before childbirth, pregnant women on average picked three-quarters or more of the amount normal for women.
Infant and child mortality rates were twice as high among slave children as among southern white children. Half of all slave infants died in their first year of life. A major contributor to the high infant and child death rate was chronic undernourishment.
Africans are way better than what is portrayed. We have great potentials
May your endeavors be fruitful. You are an inspiration.
I think this overworking and undernourishment of black people still goes on today albeit covertly. I was very moved to write this post although it was tough and somewhat painful to think about. Your kind words are humbling and thank you.
I understand how tough it was @humanearl. Slavery and colonialism enriched Europe and reduced Africa to abject poverty. The riches of Africa and her raw materials fuelled the economies of imperialist countries. But really happy for how far we have come. We only have to be grateful to God for thus far. Thank you
