Castrated African Slaves

Castrated African Slaves


Did you know that Arabs gutted over 10 million Black boys to get barely 200,000 eunuchs for their harems? 

"During the Trans-Saharan EnSlavement Trade millions of African men were captured from Darfur, Abyssinia, Kordofan, Zanzibar, and other African nations and then ultimately castrated in Arab-controlled regions in Arabian and Africa. I

ronically their lack of sexual function did not prevent them from obtaining privileges such as working as Harem guards and palace courtiers.

These forced castrations which made African boys into Eunuchs were done by Arabs known as the Chamba. Young boys, victims of raids and wars were subjected to the horrid monstrous, inhumane process of castration without anesthesia which had a 60% mortality.

To stop the bleeding hot coals were cast into the naked wound,  followed by the most blood-curdling alien scream a human could make. 

If the child survived this brutal act there was to be a life of influence and luxury; silk garments, Arabian thoroughbreds, and jewels were bestowed on them to reflect the wealth of their Arab masters.

These castrated African men served as guards and caretakers of mosques as well as administrators.

The Arab slave trade was the longest yet least discussed of the two major slave trades. It began in the seventh century as Arabs, and other Asians poured into northern and eastern Africa under the banner of Islam. 

The Arab trade of Blacks in Southeast Africa predates the European transatlantic slave trade by 700 years. Some scholars say the Arab slave trade continued in one form until the 1960s, however, slavery in Mauritania was criminalized as recently as August 2007.

Two boys in this photograph from the early 1900s, taken by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital in Leicester

Two boys in this photograph from the early 1900s, taken by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital in Leicester, UK, had been exposed to the same source of smallpox.  One of them had received the smallpox vaccine, while the other had not. Dr. Warner captured these images as part of his study on the disease. The smallpox vaccine holds historical significance as the first vaccine developed to combat a contagious disease.  In 1796, British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the milder cowpox virus could provide immunity against the deadly smallpox virus.  Cowpox acted as a natural vaccine until the modern smallpox vaccine became available in the 20th century. From 1958 to 1977, the World Health Organization led a global vaccination campaign that successfully eradicated smallpox, marking it as the only human disease to be completely eliminated.

THE LEGEND OF TRAPPER NELSON.

THE LEGEND OF TRAPPER NELSON. As you ride up the Loxahatchee River from its mouth in Jupiter, the canopy of slash pines and cabbage palms eventually starts to close in on you. Wildlife hides in the gnarled thickets of mangrove.  Everything about this place feels prehistoric. The turns become more and more hairpin, deceiving and disorienting you, as turtles and alligators eye you wearily before slipping beneath the murky water. Nearly eight miles up the northwest fork of the river, a weathered, wooden boathouse juts out into the dark water: the first sign of human existence seen for miles.  Alongside it is a dock that leads through a bamboo thicket into what was once the heart of wild Florida: Trapper Nelson’s homestead, zoo and jungle garden. The biggest attraction, though, was Trapper himself. Known as Tarzan of the Loxahatchee, he’d wrestle alligators, trap wildcats, and dazzle guests with his infallible good looks and stories of the wild.   He was a man who lived witho...

During the Vietnam War, one of the most dangerous jobs was undertaken by a select few known as "tunnel rats." These unsung heroes were American, Australian, and New Zealand soldiers specially trained as combat engineers, who crawled through Viet Cong underground tunnels to perform perilous covert search and destroy missions.⁠ ⁠ Tunnel rats gently prodded for armed mines in order to disarm them — and prayed that they survived with both their legs intact. Most men were volunteers and tended to be of smaller stature, making it easier for them to maneuver through the cramped subterranean spaces Don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
