BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY: HOW THE ART OF NEGATIVE IMAGES OF BLACK PEOPLE ASSISTED THE SLAVE TRADE AND SLAVERY:

Was it planned ? or was it stumble by accident the classic negative images of the Black Race as the bot of every jokes, race images that can only be called so racist, that one cant even call it politically incorrect as the word it self may give the wrong idea that these people who printed all these negative images may have had the hand of the Government Establishment to establish this propaganda to make certain the White Race feel no guilt about their action as Slave Masters, Slave Merchant, Slave Owners, Slavery, developing the art of creative cruelty ready to be used on board the Slave Ships, the holding houses in the ports and towns of the Caribbean and the Americas, then the cotton fields of the plantations.

Even today the news paper still carry negative cartoons of Black People in a very stereo typing of how some people think that the Black Race still  behave in a certain manner and a certain way as seen from the White eyes. Most of the Images of Black People in the Negative context still show the Black Race with the Big Red Lips, some times very similar to monkeys or apes in most of the posters and post cards, even the news papers of the time still carried the cartoon characters of  Black People in Negatives Manner.
