R.U.F.F. RIDER?S

(The Lost Story)

By Brooklen Borne

People have treated other people inhumanely since the prehistoric times. The so called superior race would treat their captives as sub-human. The captive people had their lives altered when they were taken from their families against their will, never to see them again. The reason for the mistreatment was because of ones race, color, creed, gender or nationality. Only some of these atrocities are documented in history books across the globe.

Those who fiercely resisted against their captors, were decapitated and had their heads placed on barrels at the gangplanks, to deter others from getting any ideas; of being resistant. Crowed on ships and chained together with not an inch between them to move, the freedom they once enjoyed, was a delicacy of the past; never to have again. Once on the high seas, going to a far away land of the unknown, with so much fear and sickness amongst them, many died where they lie; still chained to the barely living. For others that were healthy the beatings, the rapes, the deaths of family and friends were just too unbearable; so when they got the chance, they jumped into the deep blue salty water, trying to swim back to their familiar land. Unfortunately, it was a jump to their death, by way of drowning or a meal for the sharks.

When the ships reached Jamestown, Virginia, the human cargo had their language and identity completely taken away from them. These people were being treated so ill willed with extreme prejudice it resulted in thousands of them being murdered daily, for the reason of just because. Just because of the color of their skin, the texture of their hair and the way they spoke. These people now called niggers were looked upon as goods, services and property. Their captors created this holocaust on colonial soil and continued these heinous crimes for hundreds of years to come.

One evening, a group of men gathered together in a dimly lit room and said,

?Enough was enough!? and came up with a plan to change these horrific acts that have become a part of their daily lives. With their fait in Gods hands and nothing to lose, these men set out in the cover of darkness to bring an end to this madness. They called themselves, ?RUFF RIDERS.? This is their story?

(This is just the opening.  Be on the look out for the rest of the story.)  Coming Soon.
