THE KIDNAPPING CLUB-Asinine and Embolic Pro-slavery activities

 

This critical essay traces the facts of little known insights and Intel about selling freed Black New Yorkers into slavery by the City of New York cops. It is the recollection of an asinine outright act of racism met with financial opportunity by men like Isaiah Rynders, who accrued immense wealth, legally, but by nefarious ways and means.

 

As the nation’s most populist city amid most of its history, New York has been uniquely affected by such dynamic as this outrageous act of inhumane treatment of people of color. All during decades before the Civil War, when the Gotham’s police force was becoming regulated and professionalized, as the City of Manhattan erupted into riotous violence over the very meaning of diversity, inclusion and equality.

 

In a rapidly changing New York, two forces battled for the city’s soul: the abolitionists continued fighting for freedom. The Kidnapping Club: Wall Street, and all in Resistance on the Eve of the Civil War

 

We need only look to and reflect on the current clashes between protestors and law enforcements officers in Illinois, Ohio, Portland, Atlanta, up to Kenosha, Minnesota and other cities and states that are but flashpoints in the annuals of history of policing in America. While today’s police emerge from a diatribes of a hodge-podge of national and international display of iterations of vituperative attacks of behavioral patterns

 

Looking back on the by-gone era of the earliest and most storied forces, that of New York City police officers, which tends to offer the free world of modern American real upfront and close lessons in the intricacies of the problems between the Black Community and officers are sworn to uphold the law. Which chronicles a long history that is the bleak, inhumane, and demoralizing treatment of the indigenous populist of America?

 

Paradigm Shift for change

Moreover, these past situations also vividly remind us that real genuine and authentic change must be a need and has  to be supported when systematic racism and  oppression are met by others who bravely battles against abject racial discrimination-working toward Diversity, Inclusion and Equality.

 

No one individual embodied the brawling roughness of New York policing like Isaiah Rynders who would rise to become the Captain of the U.S. Marshals. He was known for his thunderous voice, a powerful memory, and a penchant for histrionics, Rynders made an immediate impact on New York City. Black New Yorkers was his main target of attacks and destruction. For decades he patrolled the streets looking to apprehend runaways who had escaped enslavement in the south and found freedom in Manhattan. There was a Fugitive Slave Clause that required free cities like New York for self-emancipated slaves to be returned to their southern owners, and NYPD officers like Rynders was more than willing to comply. He very conveniently absorbed their malice and hatred for Blacks into the reference for the nation foundering document-as a compromise over self-emancipated slaves, for which he and his men were paid very handsomely to do so.

 

This was a long history of bleak and demoralizing instances during that by-gone era.  Such situations and circumstances serves as a reminder that real change will only happen by learning the collective American experience, one in which those who supported systems of oppression was met by others who bravely battled against such injustices of discriminatory tactics

 

 

I digress; Rynders became a Democratic elder statesman during and after the war. As a matter of fact, New York City stood at the ready to defend the cotton farming trade with the Southern States. Rynders embraced and embodied the newspaper like The New York Weekly Caucasian, considered one of the nation’s most prominent promoters of white supremacist, its ideology, and was a most unfriendly place and atmosphere for African Americans.

 

One hundred and fifty years later, policing has changed somewhat-but the tensions between the nation’s Black Communities and policing are still evident and cast in the same old mold. People of color have been fully aware of such history for generations, due to being the object of so much of the violent quest for “law and order”.

 

Currently, there seem to be more Americans of the other persuasion, who are now interested in learning more about the fraught of history of the inhumane treatment of browns and blacks by law enforcement officers in America.

 

For the first time they have come to realize that since the incidents and happening of the latest killings of George Floyd, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor and other untold situations regard modern expressions of concern and sensitivity of the deeper and deadly struggles of oppressions being encountered by Brown and Black people stretching back to America’s earliest beginnings
