Equianos and Bannekers journey

       Benjamin Banneker is no different from any human being, when it comes down to feeling , 5 senses etc. This is a man who just had the misfortune to see his kind (African American) tortured , starved, abused and any inhuman thing you can think about. Banneker was just looking for answers to his questions, and trying to understand how can humans be so cruel to others just because of the color of their skin. Banneker basically wants Jefferson to feel some type of compassion and to put himself in these slaves shoes. Try to understand and and also look back to what happened to his people in great Britain. Equiano is no different. But he did experience these types of abuse and neglect first hand. Equiano was exposed to human cruelty, humiliation, desperation, anguish etc. He did not give up and being so he also had many unanswered questions.
      Banneker said that all humans no matter were you com from what you look like and the language you speak all feel emotions the same. It makes people wonder if we all do feel he same, why did these white folks put slavery and cruelty in practice? Every one has there all opinions. But not all white people were so mean as they say. There were al ot of evil people at that time and reason was because slaves were never stable with one slave master. They were always rotating fro home to home family to family. Eventually these slaves experienced a little of everything throughout their kidnaps for years ad life time. But what also surprised theses slaves wasn't only the way they were treated but the way white people treated their kind also. For example while eqiuano was on the boat/ ship he saw how it did not matter who died on that long trip they would all get thrown into the sea black or white.
