THE MOORS IN WESTERN ART ARE SYMBOLS OF BLUE BLOOD AND BLACK SUPERIORITY

 

Many persons are not aware of the many images of Blacks in western art. They are often misunderstood, and labeled slaves or servants when they are not real people, but heraldic symbols of blue blood and Black superiority. The Spanish Moors were Muslims, and do not show up outside Spain. The talk about Spanish Moors is confusing as it leads to think they were the only civilizing Blacks in Europe. The christians they confronted were the brown and black complexioned European elite. As the Spanish Muslim Moors were driven out in 1492, they did not play a roll in European history after this date.

The Racial Hierarchy, showing Blacks just above apes. Apes were considered degenerated humans. The Blacks they were targetting were the nobles who identified as black and superior with images of heraldic Moors. Because they oppressed whites and bourgeosie they were considered morally evil, and became degenerated. As Blacks they were one step away from apes. Some whites still look at blacks as a kind of apes, and this is how it got started. Nobles were earlier likened to apes, and 16,17th century paintings by Tenier, show nobles as well dressed apes in taverns.

 

Madame de Kerouaille was a mistress of King Charles II Stuart and the mother of his natural son. She belonged to the French aristocracy, and here self-identifies as Black and noble with a little Moorress. The child offers her pearls and red coral. Pears symbolise purity of noble blood. her face and hands are whitened.

 

The Coburg Moor. The British Royal family are Germans, and used to be called Saxen-Coburg-Gotha, but changed it to Windsor.

Encyclopedier Jean de Ronde D'alembert. Named after the church De Ronde, where his noble mother left him on the stairs as a foundling. His looks show classical African facial traits considered proof of noble blood.

 

The banner of Corsica. The headband was introduced by Alexander the Great who did not want to wear a crown. So this Moor is a royal Moor: a Black King.

 

A heraldic Moor

 

A Black Madonna, also a symbol of Black superiority. Another clue that the European Elite identified as Black. Their elevation in 1100-1200 began with Black religious imagery. When they were defeated with the French Revolutions these were destroyed. And in 1848 when whites were finally emancipated, they changed the portraits to white.

Westelijke grens[bewerken]

De westelijke grens van Suriname werd vroeger aangewezen door een paal, halverwege tussen de Corantijn en de Berbice geplaatst, ingevolge een overeenkomst tussen Cornelis van Aerssen van Sommelsdijck en Abraham van Pere. Later werd als grensscheiding aangenomen een lijn lopende Z.t.W. door de mond van de Duivelskreek in het tegenwoordige Berbice. In 1799 sloten de Gouverneurs De Friderici van Suriname en Van Batenburg van Berbice—beide koloniën waren toen in Britse handen—een overeenkomst waarbij het land bewesten de Corantijn aan Berbice werd afgestaan en de de Corantijn de grens werd, met dien verstande dat de eilanden in de rivier en de post Oreala op de westoever tot Suriname bleven behoren. De gehele Corantijnrivier bleef dus onder Suriname vallen.^[5] Bij de Vrede van Amiens in 1802 werden Suriname, Berbice, Demerary en Essequebo aan Nederland teruggegeven, maar zij bleven niet lang onder Nederlands bestuur. In september 1803 gingen Berbice, Demerary en Essequebo weer in Britse handen over, en zijn nooit meer van Nederland geweest; Suriname werd in april 1804 bij verdrag aan de Britten overgegeven en bleef tot 1816 in hun handen. Bij het Verdrag van Londen gesloten op 13 augustus 1814, bekrachtigd door de Vrede van Parijs van 20 november 1815, werd Suriname aan Nederland teruggegeven, zoals het was op 1 januari 1803, dat is met de Corantijn tot westelijke grens.

Tigri-gebied[bewerken]

Zie Tigri-gebied voor het hoofdartikel over dit onderwerp.

De grenzen van Brits Guiana na de expeditie van Schomburgk. De grens met Suriname langs de Koeroeni wordt hier nog als onbetwist aangegeven.

Van de bovenloop van de rivier wist men echter niets. In 1843 ondernam Robert Schomburgk, op last van de Britse regering, een verkenningstocht in Brits Guiana, waarbij hij, van het brongebied uit, een van de bronrivieren afvoer en daarna de gehele rivier tot aan haar monding. Hoewel hier van een behoorlijke exploratie geen sprake was, hield men de opneming van Schomburgk en de door hem vervaardigde kaart voor juist, totdat in 1871 Charles Barrington Brown de rivier opnieuw onderzocht en de Nieuwe rivier (Boven-Corantijn) ontdekte, die, volgens zijn opmetingen, de voortzetting van de hoofdrivier is. Van dat ogenblik af bestond er dus discussie omtrent de westelijke grens van de kolonie.
Op 4 oktober 1899 deed een scheidsgerecht uitspraak in het grensgeschil tussen Venezuela en Brits Guiana en liet zich—zijn mandaat overschrijdende—incidenteel uit over de vraag of de Koetari-Koeroeni dan wel de New River de grens was tussen Brits Guiana en Suriname. De Nederlandse regering deelde daarop aan de Britse mede zich niet gebonden te achten door deze incidentele uitspraak.
In 1936 werd een gemengde commissie ingesteld om de grens tussen Brits Guiana en Suriname vast te stellen. De commissie stelde dat Nederland soevereiniteit bezat over de gehele breedte van de Corantijn, maar gaf het Tigri-gebied aan het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Het verdrag dat de bevindingen van de gemengde commissie rechtsgeldig moest maken werd door de aanvang van de Tweede Wereldoorlog echter niet ratificiceerd.^[6] Ook in 1936 ondertekende de Nederlandse vertegenwoordiger Conrad Carel Käyser, aangesteld om de grens tussen Suriname en Brazilië te bepalen, samen met Britse en Braziliaanse vertegenwoordigers een kaart met het drielandenpunt op de plaats van de Koetarigrens.^[7]
Toen in 1961 opnieuw onderhandelingen werden opgestart weigerde Nederland zich neer te leggen bij Britse positie die was gebaseerd op de bevindingen van de gemengde commissie van 1936, en bracht daarentegen het tegenvoorstel ter tafel waarin de Corantijn via het talwegprincipe werd verdeeld, maar waarbij het Tigri-gebied bij Suriname werd ingedeeld, en dus overeenkomstig normale internationale grenzen. Deze positie over de soevereiniteit over de Corantijn is na de onafhankelijkheid nooit herhaald door de Surinaamse overheid en vormt de basis voor Guyanese claims op een deel van de rivier.^[8]
In 1969 dreigde het conflict uit de hand te lopen toen op 19 augustus grensgevechten oplaaiden tussen Guyaanse troepen en Surinaamse milities. In 1971 verklaarden Suriname en Guyana zich bereid om hun troepen uit het gebied terug te trekken.<sup>[9]"

                 My play Maria Susanna Du Plessis (1749-1795), a mix of history and fiction,                       to highlight the republican independence movement 1742-1753. Part of her bad reputation might be linked too the fact her father was a spokesperson for this revolutionary movement.

He was called the Black Boy, and described in a wanted poster as A tall black man.

This is the Sack Dress or the Robe á lá Française our 18th century ancestors wore.

Its the most formal dress, for every day they had more simple styles. This dress required a corset, and two joined wicker baskets to widen the skirt. It was a skirt, a corset or bodice, covered in from with a piece of fabric, with decorations, and next the over dress, with lace on the sleeves. It was light and not hot. It gave the women an illusion of a narrow waist, and the ladies of the French court took little steps, so it looked as if they glided. Men wore an equally ornamented style of coat of silk, a vest, a lace decorated linen shirt, and tight half breeches, and silk stockings. Often high heeled shoes. The men were equally colorful as the women. They wore a wig, which was powdered, and wore make-up.
