Swing Low, Sweet Chariot - The Plantation Singers

[@In_the_moment90]

This gave me chills. Just to imagine my ancestors trying to keep positive creating these songs to communicate while working hard blood sweat and tears just to get through the day. And today these songs are timeless. 🎉

[@taraspicer1847]

Had to sing the truth. Got me isolated in suicide watch in Hancock county jail.. lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@slipperyslope5364]

How is it that slaves sang all the Israelite songs, well it is because we are the True 12 Tribes of Israel who were scattered to the four corners of the Earth.

They dont Look Black to me the queens dress does tho and OfCourse there Amazing singers because there Israelites/Hebrews APTTMH

[@nigelwoods187]

@@Damond_Warrior Gospel means good tidings. MY Ancestors sang this with FAITH. Nobody on the planet can sing like MY People but as like the walls of Jericho we can make any song sound any which way. This song of faith is definitely a Gospel song. Though some boneheads wouldn't grasp it.

I wish people filled with racism and hatred would understand that we cannot changed the ignorance of our past, but we can change the future, with hopes of the world becoming a better place. It has to begin with each of us realizing no one is superior to anyone else, we all live, breath, eat, love, feel pain, and die. No one is exempt. No one deserves superior treatment and no one deserves to be put down and degraded. With that being said, Michael, you have a blessed day and may the peace of the Lord find a place in your heart.

Deuteronomy 1:1 [1]These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. Deuteronomy 7:6 [6]For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. GOD made us, the so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans (actually Israelites) superior to everyone else upon the face of the earth.

George Vreeland Hill Singing this, busting rocks under that hot Georgia sun on a chaingang. Fuck Georgia and the United States. Fuck em all to hell... and fuck your nation. Since I won my appeal, which had my false conviction thrown out, for all that time in prison, I was basically a slave in the year 2003. Right in the middle of the god damn USA. Fuck everybody who says slavery isn't alive and well in the United States.

[@bread-circuses]

PC5032 the justice system here does suck here but there is none better. This country this world was ruined when Adam took a bit of the apple from the tree of knowledge and until this day we are to work by the sweat of our brow until he "Jesus" comes back but he is only coming back for his children. To become a child of God you admit you have sinned against him and your sorry and to plz take over your life.....and to take away all the pain and anger you feel and over time he will because to God of the bible never fails!

Fredo Sinsemilla You are right. The truth is very Unconventional, but it's not my interpretation. Matthew 7:14 Yahawashi said, "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." What is your Nationality if you don't mind me asking?

Our ancestors were so witty, these songs were code messages for freedom fighters coming to free slaves..Underground railroad brilliance. If you take the C off of the word “Chariot”...What do you have??🤔..The song “Wade in the Water” (Wait In the Water) would be if you were to escape and dogs were around, find water to hide in and the dog couldn’t pick up your scent..Masterminds!

Slavery still exists in the world just like it did then. Mauritania didn’t even outlaw selling slaves until the 1980s, and didn’t ban owning them until 2007, then had to do it again in 2015. It’s still rampant there. Look it up.
