Every time, without fail, that I watch a telling of the Transat-
lantic Slade Trade of African people, I struggle with the faith I
profess in Christianity. Yesterday was one such day. I finally sat
down to watch the movie “12 Years A Slave” with my husband.
And I was traumatized.
I know there are some that will immediately think, “not
another black person bringing up the past again!” but I fear that
it is a reality that will always torture us. To undermine its
importance is really just to perpetuate the oppression that it was
and deny the humanity of the millions who died and suffered
at the hands of those criminals, who never saw the inside of a
jail! I’m sorry, but the most you can do, especially if you belong
to the privileged white race, is just apologize again and again
for the cruelty caused by those before you, even if you were not
involved and would have stopped it given a chance.
