The Law of Affirmation that illegally convicted our ancestors

[Pragmatic]

The role of Affirmation during the illegal detainment and conviction of African peoples was tantamount because convicting African people's without due process and skin color was in itself a solemn declaration to forgoe trial of prisoners of war who conscientiously would have objected to taking an oath.

Long before 1695 the right to give an affirmation has existed in the United Kingdom. This right has developed since the 17th Century (An Act that the Solemne Affirmation & Declaration of the People called Quakers shall be accepted instead of an Oath in the usual Forme William III, 1695-6) and is now embodied in the Oaths Act 1978, c.19

BLACKNESS AND SLAVERY

The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled. Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard; and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers

Spiritual aspect of integrity

The essence of the Testimony of Integrity is placing God at the center of one's life. Quakers believe that the Spirit is in everyone. Integrity means focusing and spending time listening to the small voice of the Spirit and being open to being led by it - whether the Spirit is speaking within oneself or through another.


The Testimony of Integrity designed by George Fox (July 1624 – 13 January 1691) who was an English Dissenter and a founder of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as the Quakers began to preach publicly In 1647, The beginnings of persecution forced Fox to develop his position on oaths and violence which means refusing to place things other than God at the center of one's life - whether it be one's own self, possessions, the regard of others, belief in principles because Quakers believe in speaking the truth at all times, and so the act of only swearing to truth in court, rather than in everyday life would imply double standards. (such as rationality, progress or justice) or something else. It is the understanding that even good things are no longer good when they supplant God as one's center.

the double standard?

Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart ; 7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them , forbearing threatening : knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

It wasn't until 1661 that a reference to slavery entered into Virginia law, and this law was directed at white servants -- at those who ran away with a black servant. The following year, the colony went one step further by stating that children born would be bonded or free according to the status of the mother. Three servants working for a farmer named Hugh Gwyn ran away to Maryland. Two were white; one was black. They were captured in Maryland and returned to Jamestown, where the court sentenced all three to thirty lashes -- a severe punishment even by the standards of 17th-century Virginia. The two white men were sentenced to an additional four years of servitude -- one more year for Gwyn followed by three more for the colony. But, in addition to the whipping, the black man, a man named John Punch, was ordered to "serve his said master or his assigns for the time of his natural Life here or elsewhere." John Punch no longer had hope for freedom.

Whether or not the negative value of blackness was the cause of anti-Black sentiment, and whether or not anti-Black sentiment led to Black slavery, it is clear that already by the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade in the fifteenth century Black and slave were inextricably joined in the Christian mind. Over and over again one finds Black enslavement justified with a reference to the biblical story of the curse of eternal servitude pronounced against Ham, considered to be the father of black Africa.

How to break the nigger into submitting "unwillingly":

1st: By not respecting them:

Favoritism is incompatible with the faith

..."neither is there respect of persons with him".

2nd: By forcing them to accept your belief in yourself as GOD

ED note: Your mind of the "White" master is now conceeded to "Omnipotentence": CONDITIONING the mind to except HIS identity with, containing and/or exemplifying unlimited capacity, power, authority and infuence, surpassing obvious contradictions of logical consequences that are inconsistent with reason
* See below a valid argument is used to derive a false conclusion from false premises. The inference is valid because it follows the form of a correct inference.

A valid argument can also be used to derive a true conclusion from false premises:

All fat people are musicians
John Lennon was fat
-------------------
Therefore John Lennon was a musician

In this case we have two false premises that imply a true conclusion

Next:

All White men are Christ
Christ was a white man
___________________
Therefore all the White men are *GOD


........ "be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto "Christ"....

3rd: By doing everything but "having" to threaten them to "submit" unwillingly:

......9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them , forbearing threatening **ED note: A Master will NOT bribe or express intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage or make empty indications of something impending.

..."The law of Charlemagne was based on Salic Law, an influence as great as that of Greece and Rome. Through that connection, Salic law has had a formative influence on the tradition of statute law that has extended since then to modern times in Central Europe, especially in the German states, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, parts of Italy, Austria and Hungary, parts of Eastern Europe, i.e., (Romania and the Balkans).

The Salic Law codified inheritance, crime, and murder. In a kingdom with many ethnic groups, each expected to be governed under its own law. The detailed laws established damages to be paid and fines levied in recompense of injuries to persons and damage to goods, e.g., slaves, theft, and unproved insults. One third of the fine paid court costs. Judicial interpretation was by a jury of peers. These laws and their interpretations grant insight to Frankish society;


Salic Law establishes that an individual person is legally unprotected by law if he or she does not belong to a family."

1. Who's "family" did you belong to "after Emancipation"? How about now?
   
   
   
2. Did "belonging" to a "family" "legally" protect your ancestors?
   
   
3. If the "Roman population" under Germanic rule (*Salic slave laws)
   continued to live under Roman law, for law was regarded as "personal, not territorial". And the Franks under "capitularies": decrees and written commands of the Carolingian kings of the Franks for there subjects.
   
   4. Is there any record of Europeans following the "laws" and customs of there African "subjects"?
   
   5. What are the "laws" that Africans provided for there personal relationships that governed public law, during captivity of "African Prisoner's of war in African Customary Law? "European" colony's?
   
   6. How come they were not "adhered" to?

..."The focus on one’s own culture may serve different purposes. It may be a pretext for covering otherwise "unacceptable behaviour" or it may be used to legitimise political and societal strategies of identity (re-)construction".

..."Scholars of anthropology and sociology have been "creative" in interpreting political movements of this kind and in offering conceptualisations for their understanding.

There are two important scientific discoveries that are of special interest to "legal and political anthropology" for the analysis of the "re-appropriation" of traditional governance and customary law .

The first discovery is referred to as the invention of traditions, or more precisely: the societal enactment of practises based on and developed out of what is said to be tradition in that particular society.

We know from working in the field of African customary law that there are rules, which traditional authorities submit as having been in place since time immemorial, but are ...nevertheless results of ..."recent legislative actions".


That recent legislative acts are "said" to be in existence for long is only a "contradiction" for those who do not understand the operation of tradition as a ..."socio-political concept".


As such, *tradition can marry recent enactments with so-called tradition said to be in "existence since time immemorial" , as long as the enactments of today find their foundation in that tradition.

1. Is there a history of Africans practicing "race slavery" as a principle of "custumary law" in any Dynasty, medieval, classical era?
   
   
2. Are Europeans conceiving to find a foudation of "racial slavery" based in African Custumary Law?
   
   3. Is *racism a social-political concept?
