    When I was a kid we were called colored. Colored people didn't want to be called black because we were taught black was ugly and ignorant. James Brown made a song called *Say it loud I'm black and I'm proud* To this day I'm proud to say I'm Black because it brought us together. It really upsets me when I'm called African American because I was not born in Africa. I was born in America.. I am a Black American.

    • @D13vest
      @D13vest 3 роки тому

      The average african is a blk person so this was you way of calling them u g l y. I have always noticed this. You cant call yourself anything other than blk which why you moved onto calling a f ri cans ugly

    This is beautiful! I am so glad you shared it, brought back memories of my great grandmother as well. And so many people say slavery was 500 years ago, there are ppl still living today to tell you about the cruelties that were suffered. Hopefully we can be kinder to each other, because we are all human beings, as you Great Granny mentioned. Wishing her many more youthful years!

      +Shameless Maya I am not sure if you are aware of it, however you/your family may request a birthday greeting from the President. Here is the link www.whitehouse.gov/contact/presidential-greetings-request - the requirements are as follows: Birthday greetings are available for civilians celebrating their 80th (or greater) birthday and veterans celebrating their 70th (or greater) birthday. Please make your request at least 6 weeks in advance of the birthday. Include the following information in the comments box:
      Name and home address of honoree(s);
      Form of address (Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr., Miss, etc.);
      Exact date of birthday (month, day, year);
      Age;
      Your (the requestor’s) name and daytime phone number;
      Any specific mailing instructions if other than to honoree’s address.
      **Now I realize that her birthday has passed, however considering she is Centenarian I am sure they will make an exception. For your Granny to be 100 years young I am sure she would be pleased to receive a greeting from our current African American President. :-) Happy Happy Birthday Granny - i hope that you know you are valued and loved.

    • @A2APod
      @A2APod 9 років тому +4

      +Shameless Maya One more thing -- this video really touched me because I was raised by my late grandparents who were born in 1914 & 1916 respectively. If Grandaddy was alive he would be 102 and Grandma would be 100 - what a blessing you have in your Granny!

It actually made me cry a little, because we don't think about it but this lady lived in such a scary and hard time. My grandfather lived in Mississippi as well and he became a super successful business Man. It's just so amazing to hear about.

    @AliciaRodriguez_ 9 років тому +3

    Maya, this is so beautiful! And this is for two reasons: one, it's very interesting to hear someone who witnessed history tell you how it felt to live it. Two, you'll always have this memory of your granny and you will be able to show it to your grandchildren and cherish it forever.
    Your granny looks much younger and she remembers things clearly and articulates them perfectly. I literally can't believe she's 100 years old!

    I hope and pray that my grandmother lives to be that old. She's currently 63, her father past away at 99 after years of battling cancer and decided against any more medical treatment, and her mother past at 74 from a weak heart. My grandmother says she doesn't wish to live that long (born and raised in rural Alabama), but if I had it my way I'd keep her with me forever. Losing her mother (my great grandmother) was hard enough, I couldn't imagine losing her nor my mother.

    I love this.... My grandmother passed at 95 8 yrs ago and the gift of conversations of her upbringing was priceless. It made me more grateful and proud of the life I built today. Young people today truly don't understand what suffering is. My grandmother had a 6th grade education and raise 12 children all while cleaning houses. I hope the young people who view this interview take the time to speak to someone older and who has LIVED through the toughest times and survived. Trust me those words of wisdom will follow you for ever. Thank you +shamelessmaya this put a smile on my face✌🏾

I was raised by my Great Grandmother and she was born the same year as yours, u unfortunately, she passed away in 1998. She was also a living, breathing history lesson in my life as well. She gave me a lot of my Native American history growing up. Watching your Great Grandmother reminded me just how much of a blessing it is to know them and love them. Bless you both!

    My grandmother (born 1933-2014) Grew up working on a plantation as well. Her father was a sharecropper and her grandfather was an Ex slave. I believe some of the land they worked on now belongs to PVAMU (an HBCU). I really wish I was more interested in my culture's history so I could ask her questions like these. R.I.P. My VV
