WOow 😳 do you realize that all those names are Biblical and come from the Real Bloodline DNA 🧬 Modern-Day Descendants of The Ancient Children of Yisrael.... Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Yisrael....The European Moorish Jews are the Real Descendants from The Royal 🏠 House 🏡 of King Dawid/David The House of "JUDAH". The Afrikan Diaspora are the Real Children of Yisrael. Shalom, Salaam my Hebrew Yisraelite Misphacha. 💋💕💘🥰🕎😍❤️💞👄

I never thought about the idea that we kept slave master's last names or our birth plantations names in order to find other family members lost to slavery and sold away. gives one a whole other away to thinking about why to change or not the names we were given. I also am thinking how powerful it was that our Ancestors actually CHOSE new names after slavery sometimes from the names available to them in english, the only language most knew. That means our names are not all slave names if our fathers chose sometimes to leave the names given to them by whites. Powerful stuff! Thank you!!!!
@BlackExcellist

That was a big revelation for us as well. It also demonstrates the different levels of forced assimilation. It’s very profound to imagine a free man electing to wear the name of a person that he or she emphatically hates for the slight possibility to reconnect with a person that he or she unconditionally loves.
@BlackExcellist
@BlackExcellist 2 жыл бұрын
“That means our names are not all slave names” - I have a different take on that. Many would argue that any English name was a “slave name”. There were not able to change their names back to their ancestral African name either due to fear, strategy, municipalities prevented them, or it’s highly likely they didn’t know their African family name. Very unfortunate. But ultimately they had to bear the name of people who benefited from chattel slavery.

All proper Scots-Irish or English surnames. I remember years ago, my family received catalogs through the mail celebrating our "Irish" heritage. My ancestors paid a heavy price to have my family name imbued in perpetuity. My mother's maiden name is Lewis. I'm actually surprised that didn't crack the Top 10, along with Freeman, Peterson, Morris or Stevenson.

But my mother’s maiden name was Melton. But I remember my mother’s mother, my grandmother’s name was Miller. I’m sure there were marriages involved in the name changes because my aunt (my father’s sister) was known as Robinson.

When are we going to get over the color separation issue? There are good people and bad people of all colors. If we focus more on being kind and civil to eachother and raise our children right we don't have to worry about how light or dark skin. We all originated from 2 people.

My family's last names (maternal and paternal) are not on the list. Paternal has Irish origin and not common (in any race in the US), and maternal has French origin (also not common in the US) I am currently conducting an Ancestry search to find out how/when my Black family ended up with Irish and French last names.

Four of these surnames are Welsh. Jones Williams Thomas Davies. There were many Welsh abolitionists in American in the 19th Century. Wishful thinking that many took Welsh surnames of those trying to abolish slavery? The Welsh were barely involved in slavery and mainly colonised in the North (Pennsylvania) where slavery wan't as common.

What bothers me about the slavery days, and there are multiple reasons about what I consider H-o-rr-i-B-l-E and horrific of any human being owned by ANYONE!! Here's one of the main reasons about when black people were torn away from their families and brought over here to the US, to be sold SMH 😐, and the slave owner would give these slaves their last names, I can't even fathom this!! Not only were these humans stolen from their whole way of life, (as if this wasn't brutal enough), torn away from everything that they loved and knew, but to then be brutalized over & over again by those who treated them like animals, this totally BREAKS MY SOUL 😭. Even today in 2022, how many people who believe that their last names are actually theirs is beyond WRONG!! Every slave that was bought and sold, and had their names changed to whomever bought them, these people had their own last name way before they were forced into slavery!! If it was me, I'd do all that I could to find out what my true name was, and immediately have my name changed, to stand tall and be proud of who I truly am. There is so much damage of those times, that pointing out just one atrocity after another seems a small feat!! I love all people, all of us are human beings made in God's own image, never ever should this have happened in the first place!! It breaks my heart to no end, and my soul aches for all humans who have had their entire lives ripped apart because of indecent monsters!! God bless those who are still suffering today because of the monsters of yesteryear's mistakes. This is putting what really happened to these beautiful souls lightly!!

Thank you for caring. It wasn't yesteryears mistakes. This was yesteryears intention. Also, if African Americans could trace where they actually come from and what their last names were they would. The slave traders never kept the records on each person or the records were destroyed. These people who did these awful things were less than human people. Thou they felt they were superior beings. God has watched all of this and he's still watching.

Can you imagine a slave having the name of a king or prince and the slave owner rubbing that out? He probably couldn't even pronounce it. Names have meanings and that's important.

Kal halal YAHAWAH ba ha sham YAHWASHI: We(as in the people kidnapped and TRANS-ported in cargo-slave ships around the world not just here USA) are the HEBREWS that wrote the scriptures that the world has stolen, and redistributed as "The Bible". You see it was prophecied that we would go into bondage among our ENEMIES in Ships! Deut:28vs68 And that NATIONS would enslave and separate us from our NATIONALITY. More particularly my tribe JUDAH(Yahawadan) or socalled Af-Am. Those Freemason colonials WORLDWIDE knew EXACTLY who they were destroying......AND WHY. They themselves knew they were on the other side of prophecy. WE(Yasharalah/ancient Israel) ARE BACK TO RECLAIM OUR TRUE HERITAGE. With that comes the fulfilling of the last ENDTIME prophecy. The arrival of the Messiah during WW3, the deliverance of the raiment of Israel 144,000+ a few chosen gentiles........MOST IMPORTANTLY.....The Messiah gets his revenge first against "those that pierced him"...........THEN ISRAEL(True Israel, the HEBREWS) LED AWAY ALL NATIONS/REPUBLICS.....INTO CAPTIVITY. So the fact that we're even here with CHANGED NAMES PROVES EVERYTHING I WROTE....DOESNT IT?? Don't take these words out of hate, or 🤬 because they are simply TRUTH. Me and my brethren are sick of the existence we understand the ART of war and WHO our enemies are in HIGH places, but we know we must obey what our Heavenly Father has ordained. But we're almost at the the end of the greatest true-life SAGA in the history of HIS creation...........THE RETURN OF THE ANCIENT ONES
