Omar Ibn Said : How the autobiography of a Muslim slave is challenging an American narrative(video)

Posted by theone on 12/20/2024, 3:20 pm

This autobiography of Omar Ibn Saiid exposes the lie about African slaves being uneducated and uncultured. Except, "hahaha", the only thing I've noticed about Omar Ibn Saiid as a Muslim African slave was the fact that he saw himself being captured and enslaved by Christians in a Christian world, hahahahahaha, apparently Omar Ibn Saiid had NO idea that he was BLACK!! LOL

Although not conclusive, there is some evidence that Frederick Douglass' original slave name Bailey is derived from the common Muslim name Belali.

Belali was the name of the Black slave who was a muezzin, a caller to prayer, much admired by the prophet Muhammed.

This leads me to believe that his slave ancestors were educated people, too.

Yes, America’s flattened narrative is being overturned.

It could be, Maestro, very possible. Bailey is not far from "Belali" in terms of pronunciation I think
, although the real name of the man in question is "Bilal"(photo below) his full name is Bilal ibn Rabah. Yes he was Prophet Muhammad's best friend and according to the narrative Bilal was set free from slavery by Prophet Muhammad.
