About the Book

Creating a model Negro slave became the challenge of those who occupy the most favored positions. This could only be done as a fiction that gave the appearance of reality. This fiction could be made real. First there would be distinctions made between equals. The human form chosen to make this distinction was the European. Europe became the model of distinction. It was so honored with the White Position (as in chess) as the original and most favored position. With the European model occupying the White Position, British offspring came to occupy the original position in British North America. This occurred while class war struggles were happening throughout Europe. As the struggles became more manifested, marks of distinctions were made between geographical regions, cultural formation, language development, and a social bias rendered as melanin based complexion. Containing the least amount of melanin, Northern Europeans were superior to Southern Europeans and all others. Why? Having less melanin within these Homo sapiens meant a greater social acceptance as being intellectually, and correspondingly socially superior. How was the superior intellect determined? Simply, by designating those occupiers of the most favoured position, with superior technology as demonstrated with their superior military weapons, superior intellectual ability acting in complementarity, made the European the superior race. In this instance, superiority means, one who controlled the waterways of the world, the economies to be established, the state formations to be organized, and slavery of three continents. Europeans were obviously the superior race. The lesser the degree of melanin, the greater the ability, greater the degree of melanin, the greater the degree of inferiority assigned, with negative distinctions made. The process was later named, eugenics or racism. The name chose to describe this inferior being was Negro. Negro, as a descriptive word, became famous as the name used to indicate people from the Dark Continent, land of the black, to be called Africa, for purposes of sale. A new object to be sold had to be given a name all potential buyers might pronounce without difficulty. For commerce, according to C.L.R. James, in his seminal work, The Black Jacobin, the name Negro was used to serve commercial purposes. One had to know the name of the object to be purchased. The idea of distinctions based on the positions won through kidnapping allowed the most favoured to give the black position a common name that all buyers would use to indicate the person wanted for enslavement. No matter the language one spoke, one could say, Negro, and everyone understood, "oh yes, slave. Or, the slave, oh yes, the Negro." Negro and slave became a redundancy because in their simultaneity each identified the other. Negro, as in the case of the name prostitute was a name used for commercial purposes, to buy and to sell. Yet, it became the official, legal, and scientific name of people who were from the land of the black. People from Balid al Sudan, i.e., the land of the black, were immediately placed in the least favored position as Negroes. As occupiers of the least favored position, the Negro was assigned The Black Position (as in chess) by the most favored. Can you imagine a commercial name for a product to become the real name of humans who are sold into bondage? That product was Homo sapiens sold as cargo. This cargo was unique. It was human capital, sold as creative, technical and physical labor all at the same time. It would be a Negro assigned this contradiction from the position of a slave. The Negro was expected to play this role of an inferior being. Negro met all of the qualifications expected of one who occupies the least favored position in society, in the new world economy. Negro was a commodity. Large sums were borrowed to secure a Negro as slave. Millions were moved.
