DeleteWhat! What the hell! This is inhuman. I
ReplyDeleteAh!!!! This one shock me.. with monkeys!!such horrible wickedness by humans!
ReplyDeleteNot surprised he took his life because it's a sick treatment anyone can bear. Lord have mercy on us all.ðŸ˜
It's obvious some people here, did not do history in class or read some slavery books, or even watch some old slavery documentaries; not the recently whitewashed documentaries being showed on National geographic or other channels.
DeleteThere were many of them like this young man shown up there. Even women, twins and children that were used as exhibition display to excite the white people.
They were treated worse than animals.
We thank God for His mercy and forgiveness....
Ms. A.....
DeleteTHANK YOU. A lot of Nigerian youths are not aware of African history and our story. Thank you SdK for posting this. Please post more so people can know about their history.
I read about him, even an African woman with an unusually big back-side also used as exhibition.
ReplyDeleteJoys of history channel.
That woman is Sarah Baartman,a South African.
DeleteU know Southy women have huge backside,no wonder our Nigerian men are rushing there.
That’s why hiv patients don ful Nigeria so. South African used to be top when you talk about countries with highest hiv rate! Nigerian men don go buy market from there, then come give Nigerians sick up and down.
DeleteAnd through out the suffering, your God in heaven didn't even come to his aid... Imagine the pains African slaves went through... The people he supposedly created....
