While I personally don't subscribe to the flat Earth theory (my name is khal, not Kyrie Irving), I respect B.o.B's determination in proving that the Earth is flat, which included crowdfunding some satellites to see for himself (NOTE: the GoFundMe has been increased to $1 million, and has raised $6,392 at the time of this writing). B.o.B, who judging by his Instagram is forever questioning everything, has raised another question: were slave ships real? If so, where they at?
"They say slavery lasted 400 yrs," B.o.B wrote in the caption. "America is only 250 yrs old... You ever seen a slave ship?" Not a bad question, especially when you pair it with facts like, "They can find a billion year old dinosaur bone but can't find any slave ships." B.o.B also shared a gang of hashtags, including #AseerTheDukeofTiers, #apparently, and #SlaveryIsNotInMyDNA. He also used the stroking chin emoji, because accreate.
The video features a man discussing how maps are essentially fucked up, and that when the Europeans went into power, they switched up the names and places on the map to confuse everyone to "disorientate us." The video then switches to someone saying that the map is fucked up, with places named Morocco and Japan sitting in America somewhere around Illinois.
I take it B.o.B's initial question about not seeing slave ships, in relation to all of this map mumbo jumbo to mean that if we dug deeper, these would be some kind of construct that the white man put on the black people of the Earth. Some forums have asked the same question, and while there have been stories of ships used to transport East Africans across the Atlantic being brought to the Smithsonian and being turned into gunboats back in the 1800s, some people just need to see/feel it. I respect it, and fully expect B.o.B to start another GoFundMe to raise money for submarines so he can comb the ocean floor and see if these slave ships really did sink.
