A woman that has questions, but has yet to be given answers including from prayers. I use this account to share tweets related to me or that deserve awareness.

We should see the new year as a new chapter to our life. A new chapter to learn and grow as an individual. I ask myself frequently what am I doing to help me grow as a woman? Self-improvement is a form of self love and in 2023 I want to grow and make changes in my life.

@AfricanArchives It wasn't worth it when all she endured was racism in close proximity. You never saw the Auschwitz Jews send their children to be educated by Nazis, so why were our people comfortable sending innocent children into racist environments to be educated? Make it make sense

Hoping we see media attention for Congo as much as we have seen for Palestine.

I have said for years that this type of rap should be protested, as encouraging the youth to rap about sex at 9 years old is not the way. I feel bad for this boy

@khaledMuradd Horrific. This is another story I read recently where a woman was harmed for not wearing a hijab. They can't boldly lie that wearing the hijab is a choice when you brutalize or murder women over it.

The fact that Oklahoma is denying these people their rightful reparations is all you need to know about these people.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

These beautiful souls are Hughes Van Ellis, 102, Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108, and Viola Fletcher, who just turned 109. They are the oldest living survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre. They have received $0 reparations.

And now Judge Caroline Wall has dismissed their case.🤔

The Arab Slave Trade.

The Arab slave trade was the practice of slavery in the Arab world, mainly in Western Asia, North Africa, East Africa, and certain parts of Europe (such as Iberia and Sicily) during their period of domination by Arab leaders. The trade was focused on the slave markets of the Middle East, North Africa and the Horn of Africa. People traded were not limited to a certain race, ethnicity, or religion, and included Turks, Iranians, Europeans, and Berbers, especially during the trade’s early days.

During the 8th and 9th centuries of the Fatimid Caliphate, most of the slaves were Europeans (called Saqaliba) captured along European coasts and during wars. However, slaves were drawn from a wide variety of regions and included Mediterranean peoples, Persians, peoples from the Caucasus mountain regions (such as Georgia, Armenia and Circassia) and parts of Central Asia and Scandinavia, English, Dutch and Irish, Berbers from North Africa, and various other peoples of varied origins as well as those of African origins.

Toward the 18th and 19th centuries, the flow of Zanj (Bantu) slaves from East Africa increased with the rise of the Oman sultanate, which was based in Zanzibar. They came into direct trade conflict and competition with Portuguese and other Europeans along the Swahili coast. The North African Barbary states carried on piracy against European shipping and enslaved thousands of European Christians. They earned revenues from the ransoms charged; in many cases in Britain, village churches and communities would raise money for such ransoms. The government did not ransom its citizens.

SCOPE OF THE TRADE
Historians estimate that between 650 and 1900, 10 to 18 million peoples were enslaved by Arab slave traders and taken from Africa across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert.The term Arab when used in historical documents often represented an ethnic term, as many of the “Arab” slave traders, such as Tippu Tip and others, were physically indistinguishable from the “Africans” whom they enslaved and sold. Due to the nature of the Arab slave trade, it is impossible to be precise about actual numbers.

To a smaller degree, Arabs also enslaved Europeans. According to Robert Davis, between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured between the 16th and 19th centuries by Barbary corsairs, who were vassals of the Ottoman Empire, and sold as slaves. These slaves were captured mainly from seaside villages from Italy, Spain, Portugal and also from more distant places like France or England, the Netherlands, Ireland and even Iceland. They were also taken from ships stopped by the pirates.The effects of these attacks was devastating: France, England, and Spain each lost thousands of ships. Long stretches of the Spanish and Italian coasts were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants, because of frequent pirate attacks. Pirateraids discouraged settlement along the coast until the 19th century.

Periodic Arab raiding expeditions were sent from Islamic Iberia to ravage the Christian Iberian kingdoms, bringing back booty and slaves. In a raid against Lisbon in 1189, for example, the Almohad caliph, Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, took 3,000 female and child captives, while his governor of Córdoba, in a subsequent attack upon slives in 1191, took 3,000 Christian slaves.

The Ottoman wars in Europe and Tatar raids brought large numbers of European Christian slaves into the Muslim world too.

From a Western point of view, the subject merges with the Oriental slave trade, which followed two main routes in the Middle Ages:………..

It’s 2023, and I’m shocked we even have to say this… slavery did NOT BENEFIT Black people. This country was built on our backs — America benefitted from Black people. ✊🏾

The British almost eliminated the entire Tasmanian Population of Australia in the 1800s by kidnapping, enslaving, torturing and murdering them.

If that is Noah's son, the bible already confirmed what his lineage was and he's not Arab or Caucasian. To me, this is why they need to DNA tests on the ancient Egyptians to debunk these lies on who were the first people there.

In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant.

All children born in the penitentiary to blacks were property of the state.

At 10 years, they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children.

During the Arab slave trade, the male captives were castrated to avoid procreation. The enslaved male was meant to serve one, singular purpose alone: to work and work till the day he drops dead.

@_Pammy_DS_ Exercising and self massages have been helping me this year. Coming from a victim that was abused and feared touching for a long time, doing a massage helped ease that fear along with alleviating the stress I've been having.
