Van Stone: Trick Question- Movie History? Was Sidney Poitier A Negro Or A Bahamian Or Both? White Women Were Slaves To Black Royalty?

 
So, hey, movie people. Can you tell me who is the Black guy in the image below? That was 1964. Ever seen heard of the movie, The Long Ships? No point in messing around with this. That’s the so very beautiful, young, talented, Sidney Poitier, that’s who. My main man. Our main man.

In the movie the White woman is his slave- not Slave as in Slavery. But it looks like the White woman enjoys belonging to the Black man.

Any way, back to the Black guy in the movie. So, his parents were of Haiti, moved to the Bahamas and then, one fine day went for a short visit right across to Miami.

You tell me then. In America all Black peoples, be they male or female, are Negro in 1964. That’s it. It was Jessie=the-sellout-Jackson, not American who announced that all Negros of America prefer to be name-called or identified as African American!

Ok. Sidney Poitier, one of the oldest Black activist and Civil Rights pioneers of the 60’s, born 1927- Goddamnit Jessie Jackson, - had no say so about whether to be or not to be, that is the question, identified as African American. I mean, Poitier, French naming, could very well be royalty as in Sir Sidney Poitier of Europe instead.

You still don’t see it do you? Let’s try it this way… Black France royalty plus Haiti leadership, plus first Bahamas peoples, plus born where? Born in Miami. Well then, that whole combination unarguably means Sidney Poitier is a Negro, a Black man, Black of America who is one of the greatest legends alive representing groups of Black peoples.

In the movie, The Long Ships, Sir Poitier, plays the role of a royal Moor during the Viking period. So, we, Black peoples of Americas were ruling Europe during a time when the Vikings were said to be notorious big for running the Spanish, the French, and the English out of Europe.

But, the original advertising for this film stated “Sidney Poitier in his first non-negro role.” Where do you think they got this from, that the Moors were not Negros? Unbelievable. But don’t go blaming Hollywood for doing that.

In America, Negro Race and Black Race are the same. In America. In America. In America. Outside America, to be Black is one of the worse identities a person of Color could choose to self-identify. But this goes way back when to the early 1900’s.

But, groups of White people didn’t come up with this nonsense- to self-identify as a Black person is a no, no. it was, yes, you guessed it, groups of Black peoples who came up with this so-called I am not a Black person identity.

Instead of keep fighting Racism, Discrimination, Prejudice, and every other thing we Black folks had to stand up too, not phony #Metoo Movement today, a group of Black peoples demanded of all other groups of Black peoples that YOU identify what is a cultural identity, being a Moor.

But I Van Stone am a Moor. I was 2 when my main man, Sir Poitier made it clear what the Moors were all about. That was good enough for me to see someone who looked just like me as the Moor. But my mother and my father and my grandparents told me who I was- A Black person. Black people are part of so many, many cultures. The dark-skin or the light-skin will never limit US or define who we are or where we have been or what role we have played as the top folks worldwide. Past or present.

All I know is one thing for sure, groups of Black Americans refusal to self-identify as the Black Race, hasn’t advanced the People of Color Experience in America, not one bit. Go Sir Poitier! Go Moors! France! Go Haiti! Go Vikings!

Come to find out, the Vikings were actually both White and Black. Check out the movie, if you can find it.
