The song is "Work Song Medley" by Voices Incorporated from the album, Roots: An Anthology of Negro Music in America. I found a second album on Freegal and YouTube with Black American slaves' folk music, but it is like a condensed musical introduction to Black American history from the slave ship to popular Black American musical expressions. The album has narrations in between the music as though it was intended for a non-Black American audience. Listen to the album and decide whether the album was made for Black American slave descendants or non-Black Americans. I don't like the idea that an album about Black Americans was designed specifically for non-Black-Americans, but I appreciate their preservation of Black American folk music. For those of you, who are street artists, you, too, can preserve Black American slaves' folk culture for sale to libraries and museums, so the rest of us can research it, analyze it, write about it, and enjoy it. #blacks, #music, #history, #slaves, #slave, #culture, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans. less

Listen to song, Voo Doo American, by Alex Foster and Michael LaRue. There is not any competition in the performance of Black American slaves' folk culture today. A man is singing something unclear before mentioning "troubled water." If any of you can recall, Simon and Garfunkel sang a song, "Bridge over Troubled Waters." I wonder if they took that expression from a slave song. Maybe? Maybe not? I don't presume to know. I am just asking. If any of you know for sure, inform me. I have suggested that Black Americans spark a cultural renaissance focusing on Black American slaves' folk culture and to sell those reproductions of art, music, dance, etc. to libraries and museums for profit and/or for religious worship. One person has already shot down the suggestion as if everything else African-American leaders have been doing on our behalves has been working to our benefit. American Negro Slave Songs is the only album I can find on Freegal about Black American slave music. Maybe there are others. I am just letting Black American slave descendants know that Black American slaves' folk culture is a market with little or no competition. There should be money to be made here. Yes, I believe if something is not broken, we should leave it alone. However, African-American leaders, who are chosen, financed, and elected by whites and immigrants, have decided things for the Black American poor and under their leadership, social conditions for Black Americans in poverty never get better. Things are only getting worse. Most of us have heard the expression, "It is insane to repeat the same things over and over again and expect a different result." Most Black Americans use the same old solutions for the same old problems and expect a different result. Most Black Americans are unwilling to try new solutions for old problems. One has called me a reverse racist against Africans, stupid, uneducated, and ignorant for suggesting new solutions to old problems, because Afrocentrism simply is not working economically, politically, or culturally to the benefit of Black American slave descendants. Let Obama's election as the first half-white, African immigrant president be a testament to how well Afrocentrism is working for Black American slave descendants. Obama won by Black Americans' votes and then, told them they don't deserve reparations for slavery. Perhaps, sparking a Black American renaissance based upon the best aspects of slave culture could change the course of Black Americans' future if we studied it, reproduced it, sold it, and practiced it. There is money to be made in folk arts and culture by selling to libraries and museums. For those of us, who are practicing artists, please consider preserving Black American slave culture in the ways Alex Foster and Michael LaRue has done. I found their music on Freegal through my library and then, I looked it up on YouTube. #blacks, #music, #history, #culture, #slave, #slaves, #slavery, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans, #folk, #folkmusic, #folkculture, #folkways. less

The song, "Follow the Drinking Gourd," by Alex Foster and Michael LaRue is marketed as American Negro Slave Songs. One line in the song says "Follow the drinking gourd for the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom." It sounds as though it is an instruction to find an underground railroad conductor. I have no way of knowing for, but this is something for a Black American musician, musicologist, ethno-musicologist, or music historian to study and teach the rest of us. It came from a folk album. There is not a lot of competition for Black American folk music, dance, arts, crafts, and food ways. A group of Black American artists can combine their myriad skills and produce streaming media and sell it to libraries, so independent researchers and students can have access to it from library e-media contractors. Many of us don't want to think, remember, or study Black American slavery, but many of us love to complain when a white person does it for us. I don't know the race or ethnicity of Alex foster and Michael LaRue. I can't find any pictures. I don't think they have a Wikipedia page either. Regardless of what they may be, their voices sound inauthentic or culturally detached. However, I appreciate their preservation of those slave songs. Please share these Black American slave songs with others. #blacks, #music, #history, #slave, #slaves, #slavery, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans. less

If so, what kind of impact do you think that worshiping a white god has on a Black mind? Is it positive or negative? Does it breed black-on-black racial oppression? Does it perpetuate the use of the n-word being used as a weapon by blacks, who think they are racially, culturally, or economically distinct, against impoverished blacks? Does worshiping a white god perpetuate a slave mentality and/or Stockholm's Syndrome for Blacks? Would worshiping a Black god be psychologically and socially healthier than worshiping a god, who looks like our oppressors? Do you think that worshiping a Black god will perpetuate intra-racial peace? #religion, #god, #psychology, #sociology, #doll, #experiment, #slave, #stockholm less

Thank you to those, who have, but before we can act or strategize for our liberation, we need to know what we are thinking as individuals in order to form one group that won't fracture under internal and external pressure.
