Did you know that the Negro arrived in the New World (Americas) free from tuberculosis, syphilis and any other type of serious disease? According to the famous Scottish missionary and medical doctor, David Livingstone, syphilis dies out in the African interior of the body. It seems incapable of permanence in any form in people of pure African blood. Syphilis (STD) originated in Europe in 1494, when there was a great outbreak of the disease. As this was two years after the discovery of the New World, it was believed that syphilis had been brought back to the Americas by the sailors of Christopher Columbus. Blacks lived in the Americas hundreds of years before Columbus made his voyage here in 1492. The first White men to reach American soil tell of seeing Blacks here. There has always been speculation on whether or not Columbus discovered the Americas. According to “real” facts that have been researched, it’s really impossible that he did.
Thomas Jefferson is known for being a writer of the Declaration of Independence and the 3rd President of the United States, but there are other facts that are quite interesting and appalling at the same time. Throughout Jefferson's adulthood, he had over 600 slaves that he owned; working as house and field servants; 600 SLAVES!!!! His estate at Monticello was built and furnished by all Blacks. They not only built his lavish home, but they created all the landscaping, did the cooking, the sewing, and everything else in between. His slaves made sure he was taken care of, but Jefferson gave no credit. In one of his writings, Jefferson stated, "that Blacks will remain inferior in mind and body". In other words, he felt Blacks will and should always be beneath everyone else. Jefferson's Black slave mistress whom they called "Black Sal" that we all know as Sally Hemings, had six kids with Jefferson but at the time of his death, he freed his children, and not Sally. According to 1930's historian, J.A. Rogers, Thomas Jefferson was the father of a "large" number of Black children. Is it possible that he had relations with more slaves other than Sally Hemings that we don't know about??
