A Ghastly Horror
* Disclaimer: This article contains graphic content, reader discretion is advised.
There is a little known horrible fact that people have tried to ignore because it is so ghastly. I know many people that don’t like to hear about the horrors of slavery, or look at movies that tell the truth about the lynching of Black People, but it must be taught or political idiots will try to say that “slavery benefited black people.” This crazy comment has been pushed by the Florida Board of Education (miseducation) and that racist governor Ron DeSantis. There are always more discoveries to be made about the psychotic murder, torture, and rape of women and men by slave masters. One must know the details of oppression in order to fight the current day white supremacists.
It was a common practice to cut off the ears of enslaved people and to broil them and make fellow slaves eat these ears. Some slaves were whipped until raw and then salt poured on their wounds. Others used melted wax from candles to torture slaves that refused to work. On slave ships the crew and the captain would sometimes eat the flesh of a slave they cut up themselves in a show of bravado, like slamming whisky jiggers on a table. One slave was murdered for rebellion aboard a slave ship and others were made to eat his heart and liver. In this way, they hoped to quell any future rebellions across the Atlantic or upon arrival to plantations in America. Modern day racists sure as hell don’t want people to know about this. After the Black hero Nat Turner was captured, and sentence to death for a slave revolt, he was hung, skinned, and his body boiled to grease which was used as a cure for some aliments. In fact, this led to the belief that castor oil was from Nat Turner’s body.
One Kentucky slave owner, starved slaves in order to keep them thinking about food and death if they did not work the wealthy planter’s farm. This slave master, one Lilburn Lewis, tied a slave up for breaking a pitcher of water, cut him into pieces with an axe, and cooked his body parts over an open fire. He first cut off his ankles, and as the man screamed in agony as these part were thrown into the fire. Each body part was cast into the fire as the other slaves were forced to watch. All of this horror was fueled by the belief that whites were superior and a twisted sense of southern manhood and honor. This false “sense of southern honor” made it possible for them to torture and murder Blacks. We lived in a cannibal nation of white supremacists and this is why they often tried to make the world think that only Blacks were cannibals.
In 1821, on the ship Essex of Nantucket, when the crew ran out of food, they ate a Black man’s body. This was done more than once but when white sailors died they were not eaten. A racist named Edward Pollard; the man who created much of the false history about the Civil War said that getting back home after sailing overseas was a comfort upon seeing “Negroes” serving the needs of whites on the plantation. The image of “home” was that of slavery and how his laziness was justified by seeing Black people suffering on the plantation. This “sweet home” image can be seen in one of the most racist movies of all time, “Gone with the Wind.” This is why they want a false history to be taught.
