Today we discussed the process of reconditioning Africans who were taken slaves. Why these people are taken as slaves, as well as a little about what happened when they reached the new world.
How do you condition the Africa out of the African? The process began from the time that they were captured. The helplessness of captivity. Being led to the coast. Crammed in the belly of the slave ship for up to three months. They were then brought to the new and unfamiliar world where they were further conditioned to rid themselves of whatever made them African. They lost their culture, their religion, their name and their history. The African wasn't allowed to fill this void themselves rather this empty was filled with a slave mentality based on the value system geared towards the benefit of one group at the expense of another. The slave mentality was created as a way to control Black people without chains or bonds.
Look at earlier post in this blog for more information on the slave mentality and is effect on the Black community.
