Our Colonial Masters Used Religion To Enslaves Us by GodIsFoolish: 11:31am On May 26, 2017
Belgians reading a bible before hanging a 7 year Congolese child in Congo under king leopold.
The boy was hanged for not reaching his quarters in rubber harvesting which had child slaves. Some children got their hands chopped off others were lynched for not working hard enough.
Colonisation was evil and that is why we must decolonise our minds by any means necessary!

From 1885 to 1908, Belgian King Leopold II took control of the Congo. He turned the nation into a moneymaking machine by farming ivory and rubber and building a fortune on the labor of the people who lived there.

Life in the Congo Free State was a waking nightmare, the likes of which the world had never seen. Hopefully, we will never see it again.

he enslaved, dismembered, killed, overworked the citizens of the Congo, tortured women and children, killed them too!!!

below is the Letter from King Leopold to Colonial Missionaries, 1883


[b]You will go certainly to evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire above all Belgium interests. Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the niggers to know God, this they know already. They speak and submit to a Mungu, one Nzambi, one Nzakomba, and what else I don’t know. They know that to kill, to sleep with someone else’s wife, to lie and to insult is bad. Have courage to admit it; you are not going to teach them what they know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of administrators and industrials, which means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the best to protect your interests in that part of the world.


Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they won’t revolt when the recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parent’s teachings. The children have to learn to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their soul. You must singularly insist on their total submission and obedience, avoid developing the spirit in the schools, teach students to read and not to reason. There, dear patriots, are some of the principles that you must apply. You will find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the niggers so that they stay forever in submission to the white colonialists, so they never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing. Recite every day-“Happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them.”

Make them pay tax each week at Sunday mass. Use the money supposed for the poor, to build flourishing business centres. Institute a confessional system, which allows you to be good detectives denouncing any black that has a different consciousness contrary to that of the decision-maker.[/b]

More or less the same. Religion itself is bondage either way to colonialist/imperialist motives or ignorance. Ours, though not as vicious and bloodthirsty as the Abrahamic ones, weren't any good.

I wonder when my race people would start to assume responsibilities of their actions and inaction. As far as I'm concerned, our forefathers allowed themselves to be deceived and exploited by the west. No one can deceive and exploit a sane and sound person without the victim's consent directly or indirectly.

Were our forefathers really gullible? To me, no - evidences abounds that showed majority of them were intellectually sound in their own ways. That means, it wasn't their foolishness that made them victims to the west and its shenanigans.

Well, the cause of their exploitation by the west was as a result of their love for leeching opportunism and conceited attitudes.

Meanwhile, secret of the west remains their predaceous opportunistic attitude. A predator can never lose to a leech in the long run in any game. Both leeching and predatory are offspring of opportunism.

A typical example of a case of predators vs leeches is what you see happens between church owners/administrator and the members.

1. Commodore Matthew Perry; in 1853 he docked at Yokohama to intimidate the Japanese with the best of Western technology.

2. How did the Japanese respond to Perry? By exclaiming,"Bekee bu agbara" (the White man is a spirit) - & going to sleep for another century?

3. No, the Japanese said that they were human beings toolike the White man, and what the White man did, they could do to. It is that simple.

4. By 1900, Japan had reached near parity with the West. Female literacy rates skyrocketed. But the foundation was self confidence.

5. Far too many Africans lack faith in themselves, in their ability. If the White man cannot do it, leave it to God or some spirit.

6. The same self confidence exhibited by the Japanese, was repeated by the Koreans and now the Chinese. (A Chinese jetliner).

You should really read your history better cus you sound like a complete idiot right now . Africans fought hard and long, reaally long! The Ekumeku took 13 years to breach, Just like Japan lost WW2 and so is Germany, Africans exactly lost numerous long wars with them. the whole of Europe ganged up on us and we lost , thats all.

Must insult people before you argue?

Germany and Japan is among G7 (7 top countries with strongest economy) and the have the lowest youth unemployment rate even though they lost the second world war.

South Korea came from the ashes of Korea war to build a magnificent economy - Samsung, Daewoo, Hyundai, LG...

You are shouting Africa fought hard and long as if we were the only one that fought Europe. Go to twitter and follow the @crimesofbrits to get more info.

Have you heard about the opium war in China?

How about partitioning of India and famine war that caused the death of millions in India?

Let's keep deceiving ourselves here.

You speak as if you are ashamed to be black.


First, slavery was not wrought upon the Japanese and Chinese as compared to Africa.

Secondly, China and Japan were not as developed as they are currently some few decades ago.

Thirdly, India is a shithole just like Nigeria. It's just slightly better.

I am not ashamed to be black. what I am ashamed of is our lack of progress and development compared to other people in this 21st century.

Do you really want to blame slavery? you know I have had this argument before. The Jews were also dealt with mercilessly, Hitler comes to mind. Where are they today? well 40% of billionaires in US are Jews and Israel is a developed country.

How about the millions of native Americas that were killed in their ancestral land by Columbus and co?

So stop blaming slavery for even the so called slave trade is as a result of mental laziness. We are still making the mistakes our fore fathers made. The world has left us behind in both human and capital
development.

FYI: China has always been a great civilization. We built the great wall of China? Have you heard about the silk-road? Who built the first civil engineering canal?

Japan has always been a great civilization. Go and read about the imperial Japan.

India is still developing at least they have something to boost about - ICT and Pharmaceutical sector

Just to highlight your ignorance, please look up the duration of Hitler's punishment of the Jews and then the duration of transatlantic slavery.


Then also look at the skin colour of the typical Jews and the typical white American of today and tell me how easy it is to differentiate the two. Jews could pass as white and so, many were able to escape racism for. Other whites in the USA

By the way, have you asked yourself why the slave trade lasted for almost 4 century? (400years)?

(please answer this question)

As for the Jews, we look at the impact within that duration. About 6 million Jews were killed in gas chamber, their wealth confiscated, they were marked for humiliation. Before Hitler happened, they have been dealt with thoroughly throughout history. Do you remember the Exodus? Persecutions are rampant in their history

Read:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Jews?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C7057970598



Go and read "the Jewish Phenomenon" to understand where they are successful.

one of the phenomenon is that they value knowledge more than anything. The literacy rate is almost 100%.
