Revival History

1890s Woman Carrying Charcoal A very cheerful Japanese working woman, with one of her breasts exposed, is carrying three huge packs of charcoal on what appears to be a country road. During the summer, women in the countryside often had much of their body exposed when they worked. Many men wore only a loincloth. Even in the city. This was especially the case for laborers and poor farmers. Prudish Western visitors, used to Victorian morality, generally were greatly shocked by all this nudity and frequently wrote about it in their diaries and letters. Nineteenth-century English travel-writer Isabella Lucy Bird (1831-1904), who in 1887 (Meiji 20) travelled deep into Japan’s heartland, described in her book  Unbeaten Tracks  her surprise upon seeing the scarce clothing of the people1: I write the truth as I see it, and if my accounts conflict with those of tourists who write of the Tokaido and Nakasendo, of Lake Biwa and Hakone, it does not follow that either i...

She Was Deemed Unmarriageable—So Her Father Gave Her to the Strongest Slave, Virginia 1856 "They said I'd never marry. 12 men in four years looked at my wheelchair and walked away. But what happened next shocked everyone, including me. My name is Elellanar Whitmore, and this is the story of how I went from rejected by society to finding a love so powerful it would change history itself. Virginia, 1856. I was 22 years old and considered damaged goods. My legs had been useless since I was 8. A riding accident that shattered my spine and trapped me in this mahogany wheelchair my father commissioned. But here's what nobody understood. It wasn't the wheelchair that made me unmarriageable. It was what it represented. A burden. A woman who couldn't stand beside her husband at parties. Someone who supposedly couldn't bear children, couldn't manage a household, couldn't fulfill any duty expected of a southern wife. 12 proposals my father arranged. 12 rejections,...

53x farms during slavery & the effeminization of Black Men Did you know that during slavery the slave holders would buy male slaves to engage in forced homosexual sex acts…….? These male slaves were purchase based entirely on the prerequisite of them possessing a large penis. Black men were routinely raped by their gay slave owners.…… The process was known as “breaking the buck.”…… 💜🖤 It involves a strapping Negro slave, who was defiant, was beaten with a whip till bloody in front of his entire slave congregation. The slave owner would cut down a tree and, with the help of the overseer, would then pummel the deviant “buck” into submission. Once the slave was worn down, the master had the other Negro slaves force him over the tree stump where his britches would be removed and he laid fully exposed buttocks, he would remove his own clothing and proceeded to savagely sodomize the buck in front his wife, family, friends, and children……. “Homosexuality” & Slavery: The History of B...

I was shocked to discover that there are people who actually believe there was a person called Yakub (left) who created White people. You heard me right, created White people by breeding them with dogs or something.  Then I asked myself this sounds like Dr Frankenstein giant story of him creating a Human monster. This Yakub story has similarities with Dr Frankenstein story and Jewish folklore of creating a Golem.  Let us look at something here. Yakub creates White people and takes them to the Caucasus mountains and leaves them there. They leave the mountains, come down and find Black people, whom they invade, enslave, steal their lands and kill them. So this Black man Yakub, is the reason we have been enslaved for 400 years, the Transatlantic Slave Trade to America and the colonisation of Africa. Black man seriously you want to believe this myth perpetuated by the Black Religious group called the Nation of Islam? And look at his forehead, he looks like an Alien to me

“There Is No Such Thing as a ‘Black American’… Only Africans Who Survived Kidnapping.” The phrase sounds simple. But it carries centuries of pain. “There is nothing like a Black American. There are only Black people who were kidnapped from the shores of Africa and taken to America.” Behind that statement is one of the largest forced migrations in human history. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, an estimated 12–12.5 million Africans were violently taken from their homes and shipped across the Atlantic in what history calls the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Entire communities were raided. Families were torn apart. Languages, names, and identities were stripped away. When those Africans arrived in the Americas, they were not seen as people. They were turned into property. Over generations, something extraordinary happened. Despite brutality, despite laws designed to erase them, those Africans built new cultures. They blended memories of Africa with the harsh reality of the Americas. From ...

The Stomach-Churning Events on Slave Breeding Farms When the sun rose on the plantations, the enslaved persons of America woke on dirt floors with only hard labor till sunset ahead of them. One figure lauded over them, watching their every move – the overseer. A haunting figure that could be cold indifferent professional, or a loose cannon of cruelty and wanton violence. For slaves in the antebellum, the hostile and unpredictable was everyday.  Any slave could be favored by the master, set against the rest to watch over them as driver – leaving any and all trust a broken dream. In a cruel and costly turn of fate, just as the European western world turned its back on the slave trade, America would double down. When the shores of Africa were outlawed as a slave market, America protected its slave stock by creating its own internal market by breeding slaves. What lay ahead for the enslaved people of America holds shame history can barely look at; stolen autonomy, bodies, children, you...
