I never said islam is ok,it is arabic,they were just as bad slave trader as well as mental enslavers.

The truth is in your hands bruv,only you can free yourself,what does this people think of us?,they think we are too primitive to have sane judgement,that we should either be enslaved or colonized and i don't think we are proving them wrong because we are still dancing to their tunes as well as still not been able to stand on feet just because we fail to realize what it is all about due to the mental slavery.

People are blind to reality,thus the chaos and human miseries in africa today.Change to us can only be made possible by the illusive whiteman or arab god.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our mind.

You will only be a slave when you choose to. There is a supreme being that rules over all. He is spirit not physical and all must acknowlege His being and worship Him. If you now allow other people to dictate how you enjoy relationship with your maker, you may be enslaved to them but let those who know how to worship Him show you how to without you worshipping them rather than your maker.

If you dont acknowledge God and worship Him, you will worship man and images and become the worst slave.

How about when you choose to be the god,you know,everything centers around you?You are not hurting anybody for that.

Your being is your consciousness,your existence is what you can handle and the only thing that belongs to you is the best.Define your needs,no body knows,you got to work it out.

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

f you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
