I was mentaly building with some brothers the other day, and I asked a question nobody was able to answer. We were talking about the trans atlantic slave trade. Every where we look in history, we see pictures of blacks working in the field as slaves. We even see pictures from the civil war. Yet nobody have noticed that there are no pictures of Africans being sold on the auction blocks. I see photo prints of posters announcing the sell of africans, but where are the actual picturee? I see many slave photos, but no pictures of our ancestors standing on an auction block. When I look up slave auction photos on "GOOGLE", all I see are drawings, and some artist imagination of what it must have looked like. White folks took pictures of everything in the 1800's, yet no shred of evidence, such as auction block photos? Hmmmmm that is intersting, as well as odd.
Could it be as the MOORISH SCIENCE TEMPLE describe, that we as blacks were already here? Was there really a mass transit of human cargo to the new world? I have studied the OLMECS/OLD MEXICANS, and books written by DR IVAN SERTIMA, "THEY CAME BEFORE COLUMBUS".
If slavery existed, why no pictures of our being sold? You mean to tell me that nobody brought a camera to such an event?
I'm starting to have my doubts on the subject.
But if anyone can, please post a real photograph of our ancestors standing on an auction block. If they have slave photographs of our ancestors woking on the plantations and living on them, then we should also have photos of our comming off the slave ships, as well as our standing on the auction blocks.
AS OF YET I CAN'T FIND EITHER !
