'BLACK' 'WHITE' ORIGINS
'BLACK' 'WHITE' SLAVE COLONIAL AMERICAN ORIGINS
'BLACK' BEGAN AS A CONVENIENT COLONIAL SOCIAL CONSTRUCT THAT WAS CONCEIVED BY COLONIAL POLITICAL LEADERS/PLANTERS TO DIVIDE AND TO SEPARATE INDENTURED SERVANTS INTO CLASSES.
THERE WERE NO 'BLACKS' IN AFRICA. THERE WERE TRIBAL NATIONS. THE SAME WAS TRUE IN EUROPE. IT HAD NO 'WHITES'. IT HAD TRIBAL NATIONS. 'WHITE' BEGAN AS THE AMERICAN POLITICAL COUNTER-CONSTRUCT OF 'BLACK.'
WHITE' INDENTURED SERVANTS WHO WERE FREED AT THE END OF THEIR TERMS, WERE AWARDED ALLOTMENTS OF LAND, SEED, TOOLS, FARM ANIMALS, AS ''FREE LAW" BY LOCAL LAW, TO ENABLE THEM TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES. 'BLACKS' WERE NOT GIVEN "FREE LAW PAYMENTS" BY LAW. INSTEAD, THE LAW MADE THEM 'SLAVES' FOR LIFE.
