– David Walker, Walker’s Appeal, p. 71:
«Let no man of us budge one step, and let slave-holders come to beat us from our country. America is more our country, than it is the whites — we have enriched it with our blood and tears. The greatest riches in all America have arisen from our blood and tears: — and will they drive us from our property and homes, which we have earned with our blood?»
Y fue más allá diciendo:
«The whites have had us under them for more than three centuries, murdering, and treating us like brutes; and, as Mr. Jefferson wisely said, they have never found us out — they do not know, indeed, that there is an unconquerable disposition in the breasts of the blacks, which, when it is fully awakened and put in motion, will be subdued, only with the destruction of the animal existence. Get the blacks started, and if you do not have a gang of tigers and lions to deal with, I am a deceiver of the blacks and of the whites. «.
«If you commence, make sure work — do not trifle, for they will not trifle with you — they want us for their slaves, and think nothing of murdering us in order to subject us to that wretched condition — therefore, if there is an attempt made by us, kill or be killed. Now, I ask you, had you not rather be killed than to be a slave to a tyrant, who takes the life of your mother, wife, and dear little children? Look upon your mother, wife and children, and answer God Almighty; and believe this, that it is no more harm for you to kill a man, who is trying to kill you, than it is for you to take a drink of water when thirsty.».
Impresionante discurso. Una pena que un continente tan inmenso como América haya florecido según nuestra concepción occidental de florecer gracias a los mares de sangre, lágrimas y sudor que han vertido sobre esas tierras cuerpos esclavos, y digo cuerpos, porque no hay cadenas que logren atar el pensamiento. Al menos nos queda eso VIVAN LAS MENTES LIBRES, aunque sea en cuerpos atados.
Si señor muy buen discurso… Si te interesan este tipo de héroes abolicionstas te recomiendo que te leas la vida de Steve Biko y de Nelson Mandela.
Negro, abolicionista y rojo, joder sólo le falta ser del Madrid, vaya joyita!
KKK, absténte! No derrroches tus palabras, no desperdicies tu tiempo y tu inteligencia escribiendo verdades como las que escribes. No sé quién eres, pero a no ser que sea una broma no quiero volver a verte. Lárgate!
