"CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS MAN WAS AN ATTRACTION AT A NY ZOO???"


  

          

HOT DAMN!!! Just you think that you have heard it all, I mean you thought that you have heard the worst of the worst, you hear about this!!!>>> https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/03/the-man-who-was-caged-in-a-zoo

My sister just called me a couple of hours ago and asked me had I heard about this 2 hours ago, and she told me about this man, Ota Benga??? She told me that this African man had been locked up as an animal attraction at a zoo in NY. I looked up "Ota Benga" online and found out that this story is really true!!!...

"The black clergymen who had been summoned to Harlem’s Mount Olivet Baptist Church for an emergency meeting on the morning of Monday 10 September 1906, arrived in a state of outrage. A day earlier, the New York Times had reported that a young African man – a so-called “pygmy” – had been put on display in the monkey house of the city’s largest zoo. Under the headline “Bushman Shares a Cage With Bronx Park Apes”, the paper reported that crowds of up to 500 people at a time had gathered around the cage to gawk at the diminutive Ota Benga – just under 5ft tall, weighing 103lb – while he preoccupied himself with a pet parrot, deftly shot his bow and arrow, or wove a mat and hammock from bundles of twine placed in the cage. Children giggled and hooted with delight while adults laughed, many uneasily, at the sight"...

Yes!!! It is true that a human being is the lowest being on Gods earth!!! I don't have a lot to say about this and the more I write about it makes me feel sad and depressed. Brownsugar, (me), did not post this to make you feel as bad as I do but we all need to know as much about history as we can and I am not just speaking about Black history because there is truly people of all nationalities through human history that are and have been lower than the dirt we walk on and demanded respect as humans...???

This is just a piece of history I think we all need to know about, if you had never heard of this story before, please check out my links in this post...



I LUV U 2!!!
