The Black Founding Fathers of the City Chicago | Aboriginal Excellence






Although Chicago was not chartered as a city until 1837, its founding took place many years before when Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable born to an African-born Haitian mother opened his trading post beside the Chicago River. Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable was born in San Marc, Haiti, in 1745. Not very much is known about Du Sable's early life. It is known, however, that Du Sable's mother was probably killed by the Spanish when he was ten. After moving to New Orleans with a good friend they met their future trading partner Choctaw an aboriginal(Native) American.



Portrait of a Choctow Indian man by Alfred L. Boisseau (C.1850

After establishing a few trading post, Du Sable, his Haitian friend Jacques Clemorgan and his indigenous Choctaw friend moved to Illinois where they learned the ways of aboriginal(Native)Americans. Choctaw taught them things of value for their entire life. They learned how to set traps and where to find martens, small animals trapped for their fur.


While trapping one spring day with Choctaw, Du Sable met Chief Pontiac, an important aboriginal(Native) American leader. Little did they know that they would gain the respect of all the Indians of the Midwest in the weeks to come. Pontiac asked Du Sable and Clemorgan to arrange a peace treaty between the Ottawa, Miami, and Illinois tribes. Du Sable eagerly arranged the meeting in order to restore peace between the tribes.


Du Sable and Choctaw stayed a little longer than expected, but Du Sable was thankful, for it was during the stay that he met Catherine, a Potawatomi(Aboriginal American). Du Sable and Catherine were later married and he joined her tribe. They had two children and lived in a cabin built by Du Sable and Choctaw. This cabin was built on a waterway that is now called the Chicago River. But Du Sable called it Checagou(Eschicagou), the name given to it by the aboriginal Americans(Indians).

An Emblem of America

http://pin.it/22xvJrC


The Americas had always been a land of Black People who sailed from West Africa over 50,000 years ago to become Black Native Americans. Only 5% of African slaves arrived in North America to join Black Native Americans and Black Native Europeans

LaDolceVita:
Propaganda to erase black African history of the Americas? You assert this without providing any sort proof. Why would there be propaganda?

Plus the idea that 'they' are trying to erase black African history while being perfectly fine with 'asian' history of the Americas doesn't make sense. So they're racist against blacks but not Asians?

Wait if Columbus had called them Africans that would prevent him from claiming the Americas? Why?That doesn't even make sense. Europeans claimed Africa didn't they? And Africans were there. Also if Africans being there stops him from claiming the Americas, why wouldn't Asians being there do similar?

Anyway that's all beside the point. The fact you didn't bother to provide supporting links from either cited Academic papers or at least reputation magazines means this is a non starter.

And most of the Afrocentric movement is completely pseudo scientific - like your ridiculous post.

The Euro-Caucasian-centric movement is as pseudo-scientific as their Darwinian Creed. Do not expect "scientific" papers from those who risk biting the fingers that feed them. You can get some papers on uranium and carbon-dating from this blog.

Intelligent human existence in Mexico dated to 260,000 years ago.

In the 1960s, sophisticated stone tools rivaling the best Cro-Magnon works in Europe were discovered by Professor Juan Camacho Armenta and Cynthia Irwin-Williams in Hueyatlaco, near Valsequillo.

"HueyƔtlaco is a dangerous site. To simply speak publicly of the geological evidence of such age is enough to jeopardize one's professional career. Three of our geologists can attest to this. Its very existence is blasphemous because it challenges a fundamental dogma of Darwinism, the dominant philosophy (or religion, if you will) of the Western scientific world for the last 150 years."

We have probably watched Hollywood Cowboy and Indian Films that depict Native Americans as exclusively "Asian" looking.
That was a propaganda to erase the Black African History of the entire Americas.

For at least 45,000 years, Africans had sailed from the West African Coast to the land now called the Americas.
Some had naturally straight hair like their dark-skinned counterparts in India, while some had our typically Nigerian kinky hair.

Christopher Columbus sighted these Black People when he arrived the Americas. He called them "Indians", because of their dark-skinned
complexion. He did not want to call them Africans, because that would prevent him from claiming the Americas by right of "discovery".

The Media does not talk about these Aboriginal Native Americans. The school-book curriculum teaches that Native "asian-looking" Americans
migrated from Siberia across the Bering Strait, a few thousand years ago. The new school-book theory teaches that the migration was in boats
towards the Pacific Coast. Both Theories are ignoring the ancient pictures, paintings and archaeological evidence of Black indigenous Native Americans.

There is a refusal to acknowledge that the First Americans were Black People from Africa. The aim of this refusal, is to label all Black-Americans as descendants of recent arrivals from Africa during the transatlantic slave trade. The Black Native Americans are being obfuscated by the broadcast media.

omonnakoda:
Really , Hm
is there no French word for face and why do Igbos like the name so much>

Good question. The French word for face is 'Le visage'. But I believe that it is also 'face' in older French or an older European language e.g. Latin.

Some European names tend to be more common among certain Nigerian communities because the earliest Catholic missionaries concentrated on certain communities.

I used to think it was Igbo language

Bon-i-face, 'bon' in French means fine. Therefore, Boniface means fine face.

The name is used in predominantly Catholic populations.
Crime / Re: 2,000 Nigerians Dying In Chinese Prisons by jantavanta(m): 3:20pm On Nov 21, 2016
dermmy:


My sister this is not about drug trafficking alone.. From what i read there they treat black people like animals that's how it is in every country outside africa when a black is imprisoned either for drug trafficking or minor offence they treat them like animals. Even in China if you do evangelism you would be arrested. This is a country that does not respect human rights. I just pity those guys over there coz our govt can't do anything to help them. I'm a yoruba and i'm not saying this to indulge drug traffickers but China is part of the country that treat black people like animals. It's better to die of hunger in one's country than to be a slave in other country.

Who sent the person message? If they had allowed evangelism, external powers would use it to slow down China's development.

Evangelism is a tool of neo-colonisation.

No 1., Be extremely sensitive and careful with relationship matters, that is, avoid sexual assault issues, spousal wahala, breakups, child support or out of wedluck births otherwise you will pay alimony and child support the rest of your natural life.
The State is always willing to come in after men who want to live according to African traditions in foreign land

redsun:
Never feel completely at home in a foreign land because you will lose your root. And when that happens,you become a nobody,hopeless,disillusioned and encased like most of the citizens of your sojourning land.
Hope is the weapon that keeps the dream,the heartbeat of life and that's what separates ordinary Africans from ordinary westerners.

Properties / Re: Recession Forces Down Abuja Rent (daily Trust) by jantavanta(m): 8:04am On Nov 07, 2016
bootstrap:
The reason for the drop in rent in Abuja given in this thread is not entirely true.

1stof.. recession is everywhere, why is it only Abuja tent that is dropping.
2ndly, Abuja being largely a civil servant town and salaries are not owed... The effect of the recession isn't really as high as compared to other business towns

The real reason... Public servants are beginning to find it increasingly difficult to steal and embezzle govt funds cry(partly because it's not even there to steal and also govt is abit more vigilant) and for the politicians that do rent for gfs and at whatever prices... The feat of efcc harassment no be here.

Also, Abuja rent has always been unrealistically high... I think when it comes down to it sef.. and the public servants live within their means, it wld even reduce further

That is the real reason why rents went up with the beginning of democracy.

The economy of Abuja was based on procurement scams, which has become more difficult.

In 10 years time many of these empty houses will expire, and require renovation/demolition.

341 Flavius Julius Constantius persecutes "all the soothsayers and the Hellenists." Many gentile Hellenes are either imprisoned or executed.

346 New large scale persecutions against non-Christian peoples in Constantinople. Banishment of the famous orator Libanius accused as a "magician".

353 An edict of Constantius orders the death penalty for all kind of worship through sacrifices and "idols".

354 A new edict orders the closing of all the pagan temples. Some of them are profaned and turned into brothels or gambling rooms. Executions of pagan priests.

354 A new edict of Constantius orders the destruction of the pagan temples and the execution of all "idolaters". First burning of libraries in various cities of the empire. The first lime factories are being organised next to the closed pagan temples. A major part of the holy architecture of the pagans turns to lime.

357 Constantius outlaws all methods of divination (astrology not excluded).

359 In Skythopolis, Syria, the Christians organize the first death camps for the torture and executions of the arrested non-Christians from all around the empire.

361 to 363 Religious tolerance and restoration of the pagan cults declared in Constantinople (11th December 361) by the pagan emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus.

363 Assassination of Julianus (26th June).

364 Emperor Flavius Jovianus orders the burning of the Library of Antioch.

364 An Imperial edict (11th September) orders the death penalty for all those that worship their ancestral gods or practice divination ("sileat omnibus perpetuo divinandi curiositas"). Three different edicts (4th February, 9th September, 23rd December) order the confiscation of all properties of the pagan temples and the death penalty for participation in pagan rituals, even private ones.

I am one. For over 20 years I have been a vegetarian. Jollof rice without beef/chicken/fish or stock. No maggi cubes. Instead use locust beans, or soy sauce.
For protein; there is tofu/wara (soya cheese), cashew nut or groundnut (I like mine roasted and unpeeled).
For greens; cucumber and cabbage are in season, to alternate with ugwu(pumpkin) leaves or effirin (scent) leaves.
In other African countries, hotels cook their buffet in a way that allows for vegans to choose food that is not mixed with non-vegan food. But in Nigeria, only few hotels do that.

Culture / Re: Black African Nobility Of Ancient Europe by jantavanta(m): 10:26am On Oct 16, 2016
On the matter of credibility: On first reading, readers of these pages generally feel amazement, the concept of Blacks being the original settlers, and builders of the first civilizations everywhere, including Europe, is particularly unsettling to them. Both Black and White, because they were taught that there were no Blacks in Europe until the Romans brought them. Then some Blacks correctly say: Uh huh, I knew the Whites were lying, and then go on to enjoy their edification. But Whites remain incredulous, they say: this is simply Blacks with no accomplishments, trying to steal White accomplishment and history! They say, if this was true, my Teachers and Professors would have taught it to me. So either this is lies, or the information is so new that my Teachers and Professors don't know about it yet!

Well No, though it may be comforting to believe that your Teachers and Professors are of sufficient character that they would not lie to you, the facts do not support that conclusion. The fact is that European scientists had evidence, and knew from earlier that the 19th century, of the Black mans central role in settling and establishing civilization in Europe and everywhere else.
