“MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED YEARS …

Of Blood, Death and Genocide!

MORE THAN FIVE CENTURIES …

OF hypocrisy and lies!

MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED YEARS …

Of Terrorism, War and Slavery!

MORE THAN FIVE CENTURIES …

Of brutal Crimes Against Our Humanity!

From “MY WORST SONG EVER! (FIVE CENTURIES OF BLOOD, DEATH & GENOCIDE)!!!” © (P) Hotep Music *

This past August 2018, WE, tragically, recognized MORE THAN HALF A MILLENNIUM since Europe and later the united capitalist prison terrorist states of america’s immoral expansion of its criminal trans-Aethiopian ocean (aka, Atlantic) war and criminal enterprise against Alkebulan-Afrika! What has resulted is the Euro-centered monarchies, popes, capitalist corporations, militaries and other “white” terrorists’ horrific rape, colonization and destruction of our (and other Indigenous) nations and culture. As well as assaults on our planet and brutalities against humanity too numerous to mention in this brief expose. i have detailed more of these atrocities in my soon to be reprinted 6239 AAC/1999 JC-PG book “DRIPPING WITH BLOOD: European/ucpsa Capitalism’s First World War, Enslavement Maafa and Gang Rape of the Afrikan and Indigenous Nations.”

“MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED YEARS …

Of Afrikan Resistance!

MORE THAN FIVE CENTURIES …

Of fighting for our Freedom!

MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED YEARS …

Of building our revolutionary movements!

MORE THAN FIVE CENTURIES …

Of Self-Determination and Reparations!

From my latest recording “500 YEARS OF AFRIKAN RESISTANCE!!!” © (P) Hotep Music **

Since Europe first attacked Alkebulan-Afrika more than five centuries ago and kidnapped and enslaved our people in Portugal and Spain, WE have resisted! Conscious Afrikan people and our revolutionary allies continue to organize and mobilize for truth, love, self-determination, self-defense, justice, reparations and independence. WE ARE WINNING! And, MORE VICTORIES ARE ON THE WAY! Asé -O!
