Allowing the mind to believe what sounds most logical at times can be deceptive, especially when one does not reconsider the logic by thinking things through. To believe that enslavement in America for the African man and woman was a "blessing in disguise" is such a case.

On the surface, and without any research or serious thought, the logic comes across as reasonable if one believes wholeheartedly in Christianity according to the white man. According to him, natural law included slavery as written "Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh" Colossians 3:22.

Not that the white man implanted this scripture into the Holy Bible, however, he did use it in the most deceptive of interpretations. The concept referred to those in debt only. However, the white Christian slave owner used this concept to indoctrinate his slave to believe that he was to submit to him in every instance.

Once the slave master convinced the slave to submit to his every physical whim, he was able to get the slave to believe his every word. And some of those words were spoken to convince the slave that his [the slave's] being and purpose in America was one of deliverance and benefit. Deliverance from the poverty, disease, and cruelties of African kings and that the Lord God saved them by bringing them to America to serve as the "good man's" servants.

A preacher of 15 years once preached from his pulpit to his all Black congregation that "if Africans had not come to America they would have never known about Jesus Christ" thus implying that slavery was the destiny of the Black African man and woman. To this day, there are brothers and sisters who believe this.

Some Blacks believe that not only was slavery a type of deliverance from Africa, but the other opportunities of American life were afforded to African and now African Americans such as education (the Western), opportunities to work and own property, and to the rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

They frown on Blacks who challenge and question the reason for the Mid-Atlantic Slave trade, its cruelties dispensed out to Blacks, and the oppression of 400 years to follow. Those Blacks hate the revolutionary or runaway Blacks because they cannot understand why they would want to be set free from this "good Christian country" had it not been for we would still be in poverty of Africa suffering disease.

Little do these "believers" know that the lies imparted and taught to unthinking people are just that, lies. That Western philosophy and strategy is to demean all other cultures to make them seem less promising. They write this doctrine into their textbooks and turn and teach this to our children, all children. It is the ways of an oppressive regime and ruler of any kingdom. Teach good about us and bad about them.

We must think twice before believing what is told us even if it sounds logical. Christianity was in Northern Africa; Egypt, Ethiopia, Syria, long before it reached the hearts of Europe and Rome, who then took it and twisted it to fit their own attempts at world conquest. The knowledge in the books we read while attending American universities is a knowledge twisted itself to fit the agenda of the West's conquest of the world and its goal of Imperialism.

Case in point, those books teach us that African Kings sold their people into slavery. Though it may seem logical that they may have, there is no actual documented proof they did; the only things documented are written in those same Western text.

People; do not believe everything that is told you or that may even sound logical. There is truth in life and spiritual revelation that is not written. See the light and know the truth. God reveals what He will to whom He will. Seek that truth and thank him for that.
