The Curse of Ham, or Hamitic Myth
« on: July 18, 2020, 05:57:37 am »
The "Curse of Ham" is a reference to the Tanakh, specifically Genesis 9:20-27 where Noah's son Ham sees his father passed out drunk and naked. Upon finding this out, Noah gets furious and curses his youngest son to “Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants, He shall be to his brethren.”

[Nice traditional fatherly role model.]

Christian scholars of the Middle Ages interpreted the "Curse of Ham" with status: being in slavery.

https://noirg.org/articles/jewish-origin-of-the-curse-of-ham/

Quote
What is more arresting, there did exist a specific textual basis for utilizing the curse as an explanation for blackness — but it was a specifically Jewish rather than a Christian one. The writings of the great church fathers such as St. Jerome and St. Augustine referred to the curse in connection with slavery but not with Negroes.

It was then Jewish scholars and authorities on the Talmud, with their endless in-group bickering about details, that gave the interpretation of darker skin as part of the curse.

Quote
In contrast the approximately contemporaneous Talmudic and Midrashic sources contained such suggestions as that “Ham was smitten in his skin,” that Noah told Ham “your seed will be ugly and dark-skinned,” and that Ham was father “of Canaan who brought curses into the world, of Canaan who was cursed, of Canaan who darkened the faces of mankind,” of Canaan “the notorious world-darkener.”

It was this JEWISH interpretation that Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederate States of America, used in his Cornerstone Address that laid the motivational framework for the short-lived CSA.

https://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/cornerstone-speech/

Quote
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea [to that of the US Federal Govt]; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth..."

"...Many governments have been founded upon the principle of the subordination and serfdom of certain classes of the same race; such were and are in violation of the laws of nature. Our system commits no such violation of nature’s laws. With us, all of the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, are equal in the eye of the law. Not so with the negro. Subordination is his place. He, by nature, or by the curse against Canaan, is fitted for that condition which he occupies in our system."

So, basically: Dixie = Tanakh

Duh...???

Judaism = Racism!

Quote
The Old Testament (often abbreviated OT) is the first part of the Judeo-Christian biblical canon, which is based primarily upon the twenty-four books of the Hebrew Bible (or Tanakh), a collection of ancient religious Hebrew writings by the Israelites believed by most [JUDEO]Christians and religious Jews to be the sacred Word of God. The second part of Christian Bibles is the New Testament, written in the Koine Greek language.

Also of note is the rest of the passage: "Bless the Lord, the God of Shem; Canaan will be his servant. May God give space to Japheth; he will live in Shem's tents, and Canaan will be his servant." This gives the Jews the excuse to slaughter the Canaanites and steal their land, and confirms their 'whiteness'.

National Socialism ≠ Nazism

Aryan ≠ 'White'.

Race = Quality && Race ≠ Ethnicity.

History is written by the victors.

The truth fears no investigation.

Ignorance and Indoctrination of Westerners Kills Millions (Note: there isn't anything inherently evil about 'indoctrination', it all depends on whether the indoctrinating is being done with the consent of the indoctrinated and who is doing the indoctrinating in the first place. Example: Jesus and Mohammed attempted to indoctrinate their followers with the word of God after having been given consent to do so by said followers).

Quote
Our Planet Earth is heading straight towards the most dangerous collision in its history. It is not a collision with some foreign body, with an asteroid or a comet, but with the most brutal and selfish chunk of its own inhabitants: with people who proudly call themselves “members of the Western civilization.”

Again and again it is clearly demonstrated that Western culture, which the paramount psychologist Carl Jung used to call “pathology”, couldn’t be trusted.


This “culture” had already mercilessly slaughtered several hundreds of millions of people in all corners of the world; it enslaved entire continents, and plundered all that had any value, whether it was located above or under the surface of earth.

Inhabitants of Europe, the United States, as well as rulers of the client states, showed chilling indifference towards the suffering of their victims.

They also demonstrated utmost ignorance and the highest level of indoctrination!

For centuries, citizens of France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and other Western nations were staring at the battle ships leaving their shores, sailing towards Asia, Latin America and Africa … Mouths open wide; they were pretending that they did not really know what horrors these ships were going to spread. When the ships returned, packed with slaves and unimaginable booty, they shut down their brains, claimed ignorance once again, attributing thriving of their cities and states to some “Western ingenuity, enterprising spirit and hard work,” but definitely not to terror, **** and appalling plunder of the world.

What Germans did, gazing at the chimneys of the concentration camps that were regurgitating thick smoke of the victims of Holocaust and then claiming that “they did not know”, was exactly what all Europeans did for centuries and millennia, when their troops and “investments” into all sorts of Crusades, were looting and brutalizing everyone on the surface of our Planet.

Throughout the history, holocausts have been performed, again and again, all over Africa, in the Middle East, in Latin America, Caribbean, sub-Continent, and Asia Pacific, even in Oceania.

The Westerners never lifted a finger to stop crimes that their states have been committing! As long as they were getting fat, why should they? Their servile and cowardly intellectuals are still refusing, with some tiny exceptions that do not constitute even 1 percent, to depict gruesome destruction, humiliation and torment of “the others”. (TRIBALISM) Western philosophers are locked at the sclerotic institutions called universities, whoring for tenures, instead of describing the world in all its sickening dismay. The media and artists are not fairing any better.

The role of (JUDEO)-Christianity has been vast and monstrous. In a foreseeable future I will dedicate an essay that will describe its responsibility for the global genocide, as well as a slender but provocative philosophic book on the same topic, co-authored with one of the leading Christian theologians. Christianity (even its non-religious forms called “secularism” or “atheism”) has been spreading intolerance, bigoted dogmas, exclusivism and complexes of (FALSE)-superiority. It offered justification; it even inspired the crusades, colonial expansionism, mass murder as well as destruction of entire local cultures.

And yet, the same bandit nations, the same cowardly but sadistic culture, the same perverse religion, are still clinging to power, still torturing and murdering the millions.

Their gangrenous sisters, capitalism and nihilism, are brainwashing people all over the world, while driving them into dark valleys of despair.

It is because their weapons of mass destruction are the deadliest, their propaganda the most advanced, their opposition the most indoctrinated and their opposition almost non-existent!

*

War after war, genocide after genocide, the Westerners are still playing dumb! They refuse to acknowledge whet they are doing to the world.

When over 100 French people died during a bizarre recent string of attacks in Paris (who was behind them? West’s allies – jihadists, or maybe their own establishment?), Europeans began mourning their own victims – and pointing fingers at “the others”.(TRIBALISM) People all over the world, either too scared to say “no” or too brainwashed as well, began expressing solidarity with the French nation.

Our enemies provide insight into the mind of a colonial-era Westerner:

https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2021/03/24/sir-richard-francis-burton-explorer-linguist-race-realist/

Quote
Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821–1890) was a nineteenth-century British explorer made famous by being one of the first White men to venture into the forbidden city of Mecca, plumb the depths of Africa with Sir Jonathan Speke in search of the source of the Nile, and to complete a translation of the Arabian Nights.

Most descriptions of him tick off his long list of accomplishments:  world-class fencer, army officer, linguist reputed to have mastered dozens of languages, author of countless articles and books.
...
He cultivated a reputation for bucking authority.  He was expelled from Oxford for leading a group of students on a day trip to a steeplechase, and refusing to apologize for it.
...
At parties, he delighted in shocking his listeners with his exploits.  It was rumored that during his exploration of Mecca, he’d killed an Arab who’d discovered him to be merely posing as a faithful Muslim.  Whether this happened or not, he never denied it.

He is sometimes pictured in uniform;  other times, disguised as an Arab.  The National Portrait Gallery in London shows him with a massive scar on his cheek, the result of a Somali spear that pierced his entire face and smashed out two molars[1].

The spear-piercing was re-enacted in Mountains of the Moon, a 1990 movie starring Patrick Bergin as the rakish and mustachioed Burton.[2]   The same movie shows him ducking in and out of huts with African women, a nod to suspicions that when exploring a foreign land, he left nothing unexplored.
...
In many ways, Richard Burton might be described as one of the West’s first ethnologists.  What fascinated Burton more than the geography of the lands he explored was the people.  But one must dive deep to discover that Burton was a race realist of the first order.

OK, so what were his views?

Quote
Burton predicted that the “negro, in mass, will not improve beyond a certain point” and remains, mentally, a child.  He seems to suggest climate influence here, where the tropics “engender but few wants”

It is good to have few wants. It is even better to remain mentally a child. Of course, Westerners disagree, and look what Western civilization has done and is still doing to the world in consequence:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-right/if-western-civilization-does-not-die-soon/

Quote
Yet another journey—this one, through a diplomatic post to Brazil, brought him into contact with South American natives.  Paraguayans, he said, were “a palaeozoic humanity,”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleozoic (ie. before dinosaurs (wtf?))

Quote
The small province of Goa is a territory on the western edge of India.  After travels there, it became the subject of Burton’s first book, Goa and the Blue Mountains.  Published in 1851, it describes the racial decline of a colony owing to interbreeding with the locals.
...
The starting material was not great, Burton wrote of native Goans.  “This race is decidedly the lowest in the scale of civilized humanity we have yet seen.  In appearance they are short, heavy, meagre, and very dark;  their features are uncomely in the extreme;  they are dirtier than Pariahs, and abound in cutaneous diseases.”[33]

So we have a broad idea of what kind of people he dislikes. But what kind of people does he like? Can you guess?

Quote
Burton once famously wrote that “Had I a choice of race, there is none to which I would more willingly belong than the Jewish.”[37]
...
Among all Jews, he wrote, one finds those who are “fierce-eyed, dark-browed, and hollow-cheeked, with piercing acuteness of glance, and an almost reckless look of purpose.”  He attributed to the Jews immense passion, pugnacity, love of mysticism, symbolism, and the occult arts, as well as “abnormal powers of lying” and “excessive optimism”.[38]

Jews are “bold and resolute, persistent and heroic, but also subtle and unscrupulous.  They may be guilty of greed and craft, and even ferocity, but rarely weakness and never imbecility.”

...
Some descriptions have the Jews as racially pure and, as a result, powerful.  The “oldest family on earth, … indestructible and irrepressible life-power enables this nation without a country to maintain an undying nationality and to nourish a sentiment of caste with a strength and a pertinacity unparalleled in the annals of patriotism.”[43]

Those who drove Jews from Biblical lands are gone.  The Romans, too, are gone.  “Eighteen hundred years after the Fall of Jerusalem, the dispersed Jewish people have a distinct existence, are a power in every European capital, conduct the financial operations of nations and governments, and are to be found wherever civilization has extended and commerce has penetrated; in fact, it has made all the world its home.”[44]
...
Better, Burton says, is a quote from Saturday Review magazine, on what makes for Jewish power.  “They are: religion, the capacity for making money, and internal union. … They are like the tenants of a beleaguered fort cut off from the rest of mankind, and obliged to protect themselves and to help each other.
...
A few choice items from the book:
   
    He says that there are “six millions of Jews scattered over the face of the earth,” a number that seems to make multiple appearances throughout history.
    Higher-class Jewish women are “strongly and symmetrically shaped” though their features are not admired by the Christian eye.
    Burton considered Jews, at least the Ashkenazi kind, to be physically hardy. Ancient practices of walking and fasting bred out weakness, he claimed.
    He also thought they were resistant to disease, having avoided typhus in 1505, fevers in Rome in 1691, and cholera in London.
    High achievers among Jews in any field often outdo the high-achieving gentiles.
    Some old English families have Jewish blood.
    Burton describes the two great branches of Jews as the Sephardim and the Ashkenazim. The Sephardim are identified with modern Spain and Portugal and claim descent from the tribe of Judah.  Its three sub-orders are the Cohen, the Levites and the “Ammon Israelite.”
    Ashkenazim, meanwhile, are identified with more northern areas, and take their name from Ashkenaz, the son of Gomer. They claim descent from Benjamin.  They were present at the building of the Second Temple, described in the Book of Ezra.
    On the restoration of a Jewish homeland in Israel, Burton says that “wealthy and prosperous Jews openly declare that they take no interest in the matter.”
    But: those who “proved themselves hostile to Israel must be killed at all risk, either by the Jews themselves, or, better still, through the local authorities.”

Besides comprehensive information about Jewish treatment of "blacks", also covered is Jewish treatment of other "non-whites", for example:

Quote
Jews & Native Americans

European encroachment created lethal conflict with the indigenous communities of the Indian Nations, and
Jewish merchants not only marketed the items that aided in the ongoing genocide of the Native American but
often supplied the Europeans with weapons and critical provisions.

According to Rabbi I. Harold Sharfman, Jewish traders sold smallpox-laden
blankets to the Indians; bills of sale uncovered by Dr. Jacob R. Marcus show sales
of “scalping knives” to the white settlers. And Jews supplied weapons of war to the
colonial militaries that nearly wiped out the Indians.

A prominent Jewish senator ably and vociferously “represented the views of the
white, Southern agricultural plantation system... against the Seminole Indians.”

Quote
Jews ETHNICALLY CLEANSED the U.S. Labor Force of Blacks...and Asians
...
Jews, like Rep. Julius Kahn, were among the leaders of America’s anti-
Asian campaigns. The Labor Movement served as the hub of these anti-
Asian activities, which included a series of racist legislative initiatives, a vile
public-relations onslaught, and pervasive Klan-like mob violence.
...
Gompers successfully lobbied the United States
Congress to pass the Asian Exclusion Acts, which banned Asians—the main
economic competition for Jews—from the country for 20 years. These federal laws
were the first to discriminate against any immigrant group, setting a disturbing
legal precedent in the “land of the free.”
...
American Jews were intimately involved in the hate-
ful “Yellow Peril” frenzy, including many prominent Jewish figures: a su-
preme court justice, labor leaders, congressmen, bankers, rabbis, politicians,
newspaper owners, and journalists, as well as the Jewish press.

and most importantly their relationship with their non-Jewish fellow "whites":

Quote
Ku Klux Klan, Jews, & Freemasonry

Jews supplied the KKK terrorists with sheets, hoods, and guns.
Said one merchant: “I used to sell ’em the sheets, and Sam the tailor
made them into robes. Let me tell you we had a good business go-
ing.”

The most prominent Jew in the South, Judah P. Benjamin, financed the
Klan (by selling bales of slave-picked cotton).

Many renowned American Jews were Ku Klux Klan members,
sympathizers, and supporters.

Jews were a major force in Freemasonry and were probably the first to
introduce the movement into the country. One Jewish scholar could not have
been clearer: “At the turn of the century, a Masonic lodge was of
higher priority than a synagogue.”

At least one Masonic Lodge had a slave-auction room.

A Jewish storeowner reportedly paid the Klan initiation fees for his
employees.

A Jewish businessman was presented with fifty roses by hooded Klansmen at a public ceremony held
in broad daylight at a city park. They were honoring the Jewish merchant on his “golden business anniversary.”

Jewish lawyers handled legal issues for the Ku Klux Klan.

At the same time there were record lynchings of Black people, the Klan in Atlanta had an office next door
to the headquarters of the Federation of Jewish Charities.

The future Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black was invited by a Jew to join the
Klan.

One Southern rabbi claimed, “some of my best friends” are Klan members.

The most prominent Jew in America, and founder of the American Jew-
ish Committee, Louis Marshall, was a legal advisor to the American eugenics
movement—a pre-Hitler association of whites committed to the racial cleansing of
America. Marshall opposed the anti-lynching bill proposed by the NAACP.

A rabbi defended the Ku Klux Klan, who he said was “determined that the
negro should not wield the scepter of government over the white man.... It served its
purpose admirably. It functioned with a certain amount of law and decency.”
...
Prominent Jews were most often heard publicly sup-
porting the lynching of Blacks. The Jewish press de-
fended lynching: “[T]he white man is not only superior to
the black man, but will assert his supremacy at the proper
time and in the proper manner.”

Then the Jews can be categorized as "whites" rather than "non-whites", not like what many rightist say about them.

How can suddenly the Jews considered as "non-whites" seeing that they can work together with "whites" to enforce their discriminative society?

Since jews are jewish and "whites" are, for the most part judeo-christians, then jews and "whites" can be considered as spiritual cousins.

Historically, pre-Islamic Western ideas corrupting Islamic people

See the sentences which given bold by red, black, and blue color if don't have time to read

Quote
The favored treatment of mamluks is especially important because of the direction that the institution of slavery took in Islamic countries beginning roughly in the eight century. The legitimist impulse all but collapsed.43 Muslim patriarchs were, therefore, inhibited by few legal restrictions or social taboos in their paternalistic management of slaves, a development that resulted in hundreds of thousands of people, made captives by the wars of conquest, passing completely through the institution in about three generations to become fully integrated into Islamic society. Thus, Muslim slavery had few parallels in the degree of its paternalism. The "scandalous paradox" was everywhere in evidence as sons of slave mothers became sultans who governed through slave administrators, whose courts were protected by elite guards, entertained by highly trained musicians and dancers, all of whom were slaves. Though their servile status was more and enjoyed a splendid life style.44 Under the Fatimid caliphate of the tenth and eleventh centuries, for example, mamluks of mostly Turkic or Slavic origin administered Egypt and other countries of the Near East and North Africa.

Black slaves, or 'abid, however, were less expensive and consequently more expendable. Ten of thousands of black Africans, for example, labored on land reclamation projects in Iraq. Blacks were also used in the copper and salt mines of the Sahara. Wherever the work was demanding and the conditions harsh, black slaves were likely to be found.45 Furthermore, when slaves were emancipated, the old line of racial stratification that divided the servile population into mamluks and 'abid continued to affect their status as freedmen. Because of the almost unparalleled paternalism of Muslim slavery, patriarchs showed a marked tendency to assimilate fresh captives to Islamic culture, convert them, and later emancipate them.46 Although creating demand for freshly captured pagans, this process also produced a continuous growth of the freedman population. But blacks fared more poorly than whites as freedmen just as they had as slaves. Even the term 'abid still clung to them in freedom, linking them to the lowest stratum of the servile population. Behind this linguistic tie lay the reality that they had moved from the lowest stratum of the servile population to a corresponding position in free society. And 'abid no longer denoted their legal status; instead it identified their race. By the ninth century, therefore, the process of enslaving, assimilating, converting, and freeing Negroes had, in a series of Muslim cities from Andalusia to Persia, created a class of blacks who, though legally free, still worked as butchers, bath attendants, and the like, who still toiled in lowly occupations similar to those they had pursued as slaves.47 Emancipation did not dramatically change what one saw blacks doing ; in popular usage they were still 'abid, "slaves."

Despite the general polarization of Muslim society into low-status blacks and high-status whites, no clearly defined color bar emerged. Muslim countries have, therefore, produced some notable examples of the overlapping of racial status groups. Tenth-century Egypt, for instance, had a de facto black ruler. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, an elite guard of blacks held the balance of power in Morocco; two centuries later it was ruled by Sultan Mulay Hassan, whose mother was black.48 One of the most spectacular examples of black upward nobility is that of Kizlar Agasi Beshir (1650-1746), an Abyssinian eunuch purchased for thirty piasters, the price of a first-rate donkey, but who prospered unbelieveably during his long tenure as Ottoman secretary of the treasury. By the time of his death, he had amassed a vast fortune and had founded the Mosque of Aga in Istanbul as well as a number of schools and a public library.49

Muslim racial attitudes reflect the ambivalence of the system of color stratification in Islamic society, with its inconsistency, at times its seeming lack of color prejudice. Significantly in this respect, a body of Muslim literature emerged that treated blacks sympathetically or defended them against their detractors.50 Nevertheless, Muslims lived in a racially stratified society. If they, unlike people in later English-speaking stratified societies, had no clearly defined color bar, if they were correspondingly less disturbed by the occasional appearance of a high-status black, such violations of the prevailing pigmentocracy, or light-skinned dominance, did not happen often enough to discredit the assumption most people made about skin color and status : light meant superiority, dark meant debasement.51

Muslim attitudes toward blacks were mixed, but amid their ambivalence one can detect here and there most of those notions making up that cluster of ideas we recognize as modern Western racial prejudice. As Negroes came to occupy the bottom strata of both free and servile society and as the term 'abid came in popular usage to identify a race rather than a legal class, Muslims came to attach to blacks those ideas that Old World peoples had traditionally attached to slaves regardless of their origin. Negroes were thus stereotyped as lazy, lecherous, and prone to lie and steal. And, when humans are treated as domesticated animals, they are sometimes regarded as animallike. Thus, as the ancients occasionally denied the humanity of slaves, so could Ibn Khaldun, a historian of western Islam, write that "the only people who accept slavery are the Negroes, owing to their low degree of humanity and their proximity to the animal stage."52 But not very intelligent animals, a Persian writer thought : "Many have seen that the ape is more capable of being trained than the Negro, and more intelligent." A thirteenth-century Moroccan asserted that the blacks had another quality that seemed to make them especially suited to the debased status that his society generally accorded to them. They were "the most stinking of mankind in the armpits and sweat."53 And, according to a popular work on slave buying, blacks were "fickle and careless. Dancing and beating time are engrained in their nature. They say : were the negro to fall from heaven to the earth he would beat time falling."54 Thus the most important ideas justifying white dominance had been current in the racially stratified lands of the Medditeranean for several centuries before the northwest Europeans bought their first Negro slaves.

Though Muslims held many disconnected ideas and value judgments that lent stability to a previously evolved pattern of pigmentocracy, the closest they had to a theory of race relations remained the ancient Hamitic myth. During the first century of Islam, the "sons of Ham" had begun their migration to Bilad al-Sudan, the land of the blacks; but within their ranks were still a number of light-skinned peoples. Thus, the myth justified slavery more than white superiority, as it had done since early in the first millenium B.C.

History of the Behavior of Islamic Society in the Caliphate

In the history of the Caliphate we must accept the fact that Muslim society at that time also had racial discrimination against black people. Before feeling disappointed and hating the khilafah because of the depravity of its people's behavior, we need to know what is the cause of this societal attitude.

According to research from professors of historians from the West, the attitude of racial discrimination committed by Muslims during the era of the caliphate government was due to the fact that there were still people who followed teachings that existed before Islam came, namely the teachings of the Myth of Ham. This teaching was followed by Jews and Christians and made Arab, Middle Eastern, Persian and "North African" people behave racist towards "black" people. In Islamic teachings all human beings are brothers and there is no command to discriminate between people just because they have "dark skin".

Islamic scientists such as Ibn Khaldun were also influenced by this understanding of racism, which does not come from Islamic teachings. Even though there was an attitude of racism from the Islamic community in the caliphate government, their attitude did not become an official rule of society, it was proven that there were still "black" people who became high-ranking officials. It was even recorded that the financial secretariat of the Ottoman Turkish Caliphate was occupied by "black" people. ". Even though most of them still work in menial jobs or low-paid jobs, they can still be free from slavery and can become high-class workers. In contrast to Christians and Jews, especially those from Europe who enslaved them and did not give them freedom until the 20th century (Around the 1960s).

Conclusion :

The history of racism in the Khilafah Daulah is not due to the enforcement of Islamic law. But because of the ancient understanding of the Curse of Ham from Judaism and Christianity which is still followed by some people in the caliphate society. Of course, people with dark skin mostly hate teachings that teach racism. Why follow teachings that demean us just because we are dark skinned.

Talmudism

The Hamitic hypothesis states that everything of value ever found in Africa was brought there by the Hamites, allegedly a branch of the Caucasian race. This hypothesis was preceded by an earlier theory, in the 16th century, that the Hamites were black savages, 'natural slaves' - and Negroes.

In "Jews Had a Negligible Role in the Slave Trade" (letter, 14 February), Harold Brackman refuted the claim by Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, that Ph.D. the dissertation proves that the compilers of the Talmud "'created' racism by concocting the so-called 'myth of Ham.' " According to Mr. Brackman, "None of my conclusions are compatible with this heinous slander."

...

It cannot be denied that the Babylonian Talmud was the first source to read Negrophobic content into the episode emphasizing Canaan's brotherly relationship with Kush. . . The Global Talmud of the episode adds a dark stigma to the fate of slavery

Drapetomaniacs

Get Free or Die Trying

Before preachers, life coaches, and self-help gurus proclaimed they could cure crack smoking, depression, and infidelity with vision boards, self affirmations, and prayer cloths, Dr. Samuel Adolphus Cartwright mesmerized America with a pseudo-scientific breakthrough that would remain unmatched until the invention of the Shake Weight. Although he was previously best known for his staunch opposition to the wild idea that microscopic ghosts called “germs” caused disease,1 in 1851, Cartwright would become most renowned for presenting a paper before the Medical Association of Louisiana proposing an explosive new mental illness called “drapetomania,” or “the disease causing slaves to run away.” In it, he wrote:

The cause in the most of cases, that induces the negro to run away from service, is as much a disease of the mind as any other species of mental alienation, and much more curable, as a general rule. With the advantages of proper medical advice, strictly followed, this troublesome practice that many negroes have of running away, can be almost entirely prevented, although the slaves be located on the borders of a free state, within a stone’s throw of the abolitionists.2

Cartwright’s racist pseudo-psychology illustrates another delusion of whiteness: namely, the continued justification of oppression—statesanctioned ****, murder, and unending torture—by portraying Black people’s insatiable inclination toward freedom as a sickness or a criminal impulse. For everyone else, the irrepressible compulsion for liberty is viewed as a symptom of a craven, barbaric psychopathy. This nation’s history is pockmarked with examples of the idea that freedom is for white people.

Although most Enlightenment-era thinkers agreed that freedom is the natural state of man, they somehow carved out an exception for their belligerent negroes because, in their white minds, property rights were as important as individual freedom. The race-based forced labor system that built America into an economic power could only exist through violence and the threat of violence. In places like South Carolina, where the captives outnumbered the free, this state-sanctioned institution of racial dehumanization required constant enforcement. But every speck of evidence reveals that resistance—both conscious and subconscious—was interwoven into the fabric of life as an enslaved person. Through acts large and small, organized and individual, the search for liberty was a way of life for Africans in America. It wasn’t drapetomania, but a persistent and unyielding belief in their personhood that drove the enslaved Africans to seek out freedom.

Under Cartwright’s asinine hypothesis, this imaginary illness manifested itself in many ways. Some sufferers ran away to freedom, while others were mad enough to physically resist oppression. The most unhinged drapetomaniacs did the unthinkable—they tried to eliminate the source of their oppression. But according to this medical diagnosis, the contagion’s victims shared a common goal: to get free or die trying

It was sometimes impossible to tell when an enslaved person was struck with freedom fever. While the most popular stories of resistance involve coordinated violent events, the most common form of resistance took place in small ways on a daily basis. All across America, Africans coerced into bondage used understated and not-so-subtle methods to counteract the brutality of slavery. Some undermined their evil overlords’ financial goals by reducing productivity, sabotaging their work equipment, and planning labor strikes. Others played sick or worked in a slow, deliberate manner. When a generally dependable servant stopped taking pride in their work, drapetomania was a potential cause.

Of course, enslavers searched for cures for this malady. The city of Charleston, South Carolina, developed an entire “corrections” industry dedicated to punishing and reforming rebellious human property.3 Slaveowners could send insolent slaves to the “Sugar House,” an old sugar factory where city workers were paid to whip and reeducate the troublemakers and malingerers.4 The first execution in the Massachusetts Colony took place in 1681 when Maria, a “negro servant to Joshua Lambe of Roxbury,” set her master’s house on fire, as well as a neighbor’s. According to the Massachusetts Bay Colony’s court records, Maria “wittingly, willingly and feloniously set on fire the dwelling house of Thomas Swann . . . and presently went and crept into a hole at a back doore of thy Masters Lambs house and set it on fier also.”5 Maybe Maria was a cold-blooded murderer. Perhaps the desire to be a full, independent human being had driven her into a state of pyromania. In any case, there was only one antidote for Maria’s delirium. The compassionate people of Massachusetts had to burn her alive at the stake. They had no choice.

In a capitalist racket based on the theft of labor, intellect, and Black bodies, it may seem logical that Africans would resort to stealing things from the people who stole them, as well. But according to the rules of drapetomania, these people had a medical disorder that turned them into thieves. “One day, a group of us were working in the field,” Cecelia Simmons Green recalls of her time on the Grimball Plantation on James Island, South Carolina. “We heard Mr. Hinson talking to another white man; he was telling him: ‘You think them **** stupid but they have plenty of sense. I think some of them been going in my fields at night stealing my vegetables and selling them in the market.’ We would hold our heads down and laugh because we knew who was teafing the vegetables.”6 Apparently, in South Carolina, the person who sows, waters, weeds, and harvests a plant can somehow “steal” it from the people who did absolutely nothing to create it.

Since enslaved people were governed by property laws, running away to freedom was legally considered an act of theft, despite the ironic fact that the whole slavemaking industry was based on abduction. Sometimes these drapetomaniac slaves absconded to British-controlled Canada, free states, or wherever the Underground Railroad led them. But these weren’t the only places to run. Some of the most popular escape destinations in America for the enslaved were just anywhere away from white people. Sallie Smith, a woman enslaved on a Louisiana plantation, says she “stayed in the woods” half of the time of her enslavement, depending on the kindness of the other enslaved people in the area.7 Assuming her brother knew her whereabouts, Sallie’s former captor tortured her brother until he, too, bolted from the plantation and joined her in the woods. Unfortunately, there were no peer reviewed studies to investigate whether these recurring bouts of drapetomania were genetic.

The South was surprisingly also a viable option for some slaves who were infected with this ailment. There, entire communities were built that are still being discovered today, including Bas du Fleuve, a vast area between the mouth of the Mississippi and New Orleans that was controlled by runaways for most of the 1770s. During the colonial period, the all-Black town of Fort Mose in the Spanish-held Florida territory was a popular destination for those who wanted a permanent vacation from slavery. Spain had abolished slavery in the territory, and after the War of 1812, a fully armed British “Negro Fort” in Florida became the center of the Black resistance against the institution of slavery, forming its own army. The British Corps of Colonial Marines was made up of free Blacks and fugitive slaves who fought alongside Native Americans to protect the kind runaways who quarantined themselves to protect others from their contagious virus.

Perhaps the most remarkable of these oases of freedom was the Great Dismal Swamp, a million-acre area that covered southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Historians still don’t quite know how many escaped Africans built communities and lived free in the Great Dismal Swamp, but new research suggests that thousands may have lived there.8

In May 1803, a shipload of seventy-five captive Igbo people were purchased for $100 each to grow rice on forced labor plantations on St. Simons Island, Georgia. Apparently, the ship was infested with Cartwright’s disease, because the shackled passengers screamed all the way to America. When the captain would send members of the crew down into the belly of the ship to quiet them, the crew members were terrified to realize that the captives weren’t just screaming; they were saying one chant, over and over, in unison: “Orimiri Omambala bu anyi bia. Orimiri Omambala ka anyi ga ejina.”14 When the ship got close to the shore, the chants grew louder. “Orimiri Omambala bu anyi bia. Orimiri Omambala ka anyi ga ejina,” they prayed in unison. Then, somehow, they broke the chains, and threw the entire crew overboard. Led by a captured chieftain, the Africans then walked calmly into the sea, chanting, “Orimiri Omambala bu anyi bia. Orimiri Omambala ka anyi ga ejina,” drowning themselves rather than be slaves.

Some say the number was seventy-five; other sources put the number at thirteen. One contemporaneous account described it as a terrible loss of the plantation owner’s investment. Others describe the Igbo rebellion as a mass suicide. Whatever the case, witnesses watched while shackled slaves calmly walked into Dunbar Creek on St. Simons Island in Glynn County, Georgia, and drowned themselves, chanting, “The Water Spirit brought us here. The Water Spirit will take us home.” They were free.
