Jul 29, 2008 - My God, what an emotionally stirring of the soul, song and video. I have always loved Ship Ahoy, and understood the meaning of the lyrics. We cannot really begin to understand what our ancestors really went through, but this song really brings to life, what is must have been like. The images were astounding, and the freedom fighters at the end, was a great finale. Thanks to The O'Jays for putting together a great masterpiece.

Oct 8, 2008 - Guess what youngblood, history and common sense teaches us that not all slaves were "stolen." Most were sold by tribe leaders or other African leaders. So, who do you really blame: the white slave owner, the white slave trader, or the African slave seller? Get a lil more educated on that. Besides, you had Black slave owners too for a considerable time.

Mackdaddy901 Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - Being self professed Christian is VERY different than being a TRUE beleiver and follower of Christ. Satan himself believes in the deity of Jesus. He even undrstnds the whole death, burial, and ressurection. BUT he does NOT follow Christ and he definatley does not NOT profess Jesus as his Lord and Savior. So, technically, satan nor the slave traders/owners/sellers were Christians. Nor you if you do not take upon the cross of Christ and allow Him to come into your heart and chnge your sin nature

Mackdaddy901 Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - Histriclly, every race of peeps have been enslaved by one group or another. "Cracking whips on backs" has been the norm since the beginning of time. You can't be mad, just forgive and dont fall back into mental slavery.

Mackdaddy901 Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - You gotta remember this, thousands of whites died alongside blacks for defending blacks. all white folk didnt own slaves. and not all african (americans) were slaves. and not all white people are racist.

groove4453 Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - Good info, though it changes nothing. It was still done in the name of Christianity. Check the name of the 1st ship that brought back a slave--"Jesus" captained by Sir John Hawkins circa 1555

Oct 10, 2008 - Mackdaddy901 you are a fucking idiot. There's not even a body count on the number of black slaves who died on the Middle Passage. For you to try to compare the number of Whites who died beside Blacks is downright idiotic. Your other comment about historical facts (by the way this is how you spell historical) lets me know that you are an unlearned Negro aka stupid Nigger or a white boy posing as Black. Go study the facts, idiot.

Oct 13, 2008 - First listened to this "Back in the day"very impacting, i could visualize the events in my mind. thought about my "Mother's mother's mother's father's mother's father's father's...... etc (hope that they can see us today)

Mackdaddy901 Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - I'm Ivorian and i dont use spell check. By the way Seek, if you know anything about history, my tribesmen were among the first to be bought. I am a direct decendant of the slave trade. I have authority and absolute knoweldge over what I speak about concerning the middle passage (compared to what you think you will ever know). My families were taken to Spain and Portugual as well as several other countries in the trade. You have no clue you washed up ignoramous.

Mackdaddy901 Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - I was a little bland and archaic I admit groove. but mostly all of those Christians were actually catholic christians and not "real" christians. So, i should have clarified myself. Baptists then became more organized under Calvin and Luther in the US and in such, most slave traders were christian. Groove, you are on point.

Oct 17, 2008 - God. Bought this album for another track but once I heard this, was hooked. Am glad to say on my phone now too. Great to see it on youtube.This must be one of the most evocative and emotive tracks I ever heard. Still sends the same shivers to my bones when I hear it.An absolute classic, and wish I could have seen the vid that someone earlier requested, of them coming on stage with chains. And then hearing them sing it live.

Nov 8, 2008 - Now that the time has come to where we can evolve as a people, White America still has the need to place us even further down the line, they know they will never be able to get over the fact that an African American is going to run this country, but now they can live for the next four years knowing that America will be better than what it was eight years ago!!!! PRAISES TO PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!

sparky88uk Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Ephesians 6:12Hey MrPurrfect, don't know anything about Mr Obama except the fact that he is a man and as the Bible says there is no one righteous no not one.I hope that he will pass Biblical laws and put his trust in Christ alone for his and your country's hope.I know you have a so called race thing implied in your post but just to remind you we are all the one race the human race, Adam was the father of us all and just as sin came from one man so salvation came from one man Jesus Christ.

MrPurrfect68 Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - Well you might try picking up a book oor two so that you can learn about the man, and for your information no I don't only the white Americans seem to have this thing about race in the meaning that they always feel that they have to be in control, so I don't have issues like they do.

Nov 19, 2008 - Attention: Times are changing (for some relunctantly; For others whole heartedly).Remember..It was "TODAY'S AMERICA" that made the "Final decision" whom they wanted to represent "OUR" country, that they belived in for a change. Not only was he welcomed and excepted at home..the WORLD RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR HIM. A NEW ERA HAS TAKEN PLACE.
