The very brief relation of the Devastation of the Indies

What would be if there were two groups of people in this world?

 Just two. 

One group is the superior one. They can do whatever they want to do, in a country that is not even theirs. The other group is kept as slaves to work and work until they die. And that is meant literally.

Imagine you would sit at home just doing all the things you do everyday and suddenly there would be men kicking in the door and just take over your life, make it their life. They can do whatever they want to do with your life.

It sounds kind of ridiculous but  it is nearly the same as it happened before. Not just once. Not twice. It had happened often in History. One example of this is the suppression and devastation of the Indies. 

What happened to this people still happens today. Not in the same way. There is no Spanish man on a horse that tries to stab you to death with his sword but still people get suppressed, hurt, beaten or even killed just because of their race or sex.  

When Spanish people came to America in the fifteenth century, they started to take away women and children from the indies, misuse them and force them to do things for the Spanish people.

So the Indies started to try to get the Spanish people out of their land but as their weapons were just to weak against the Spaniard's weapons they were not really successful. 

Even though the Indians did no really have a chance, the Spaniards swore something. 

For every single Spanish person killed by a Native, the Spanish will kill a hundred Natives. 

So as you can tell it ended that a lot of Indians died and they lost a big amount of land to the Europeans.

When the Spanish people took the Indians away from their home and their familiies, they made them work very hard. Unwillingly.

They had to work for white people until they were dead, caused from too much work, starvation or diseases. When an Indian was too old they said 'Why do you give him to me? To bury him?" or when he ws to weak they said 'Do you gve him to me to make him well?'.

They were not treated like humans anymore. They were just things. Things you can deal with, you can refuse, you can treat however you want to, because they belong to you.

A lot of the Natives has to work as divers for finding pearls.

They were just thrown into the ocean to dive and when they wanted to come up again, exhausted and tired from work, they were just thrown in again and again.

It often happened that they never saw the sunlight again, eaten or deadly hurt by a shark and actually nobody cared because you can just replace them with another Indian thing.

Their hair, which was usually black was turned gray from all the salts in the water and so they looked kind of scary to other people, just as a monster or another species.

Although all the things that happened were against the law. Even back in that time.

But noone stopped it. 

No one.

So what would be if this happened again?

It still sounds ridiculous but it really happened and as some people say: History is cyclical.

It could happen again. it coul. It doesnt have to.

Do something against it and dont let it happen again.

What would this world be if you are slaved for other people you do not even know.

What when you just get killed for being ill or too old?

Do not let it happen again because this you are a part of this world and you can change it with everything you do and say.
