    I LOVE the history of the civil war. It’s so complex. It really tells the story of how jacked up our history is in America.

    Bravo GG. This eloquent woman makes listening to this complex war oddly pleasing. She's delivers the quotes effortlessly. It demonstrates just how close this time period is in relation to Time. This is indeed the beauty of History.

    It’s interesting she juxtaposes the role of Black men in the army as being given institutional power with the vulnerability of dependents, while not speaking to the reality that Black troops were likely to die by both enemy combatants and “friendly” fire.

      ​@KiamKweli there's a book about this called "They were here property." Those chicks were alot of times worst than white men when it came to harming black people.

      @@omalone1169 Of course it's not. But apparently it wanted to be part of one at one time. Isn't that what the problem was? That it acted like one? Wasn't that one of the reasons for the so called, "Civil War"?

    This woman is beautiful, literally. It's refreshing to hear a history where the input of Black men was centered, and not rendered to oblivion by an agenda. Seems like the questioners tried to.

    Let’s have grace for Nigerians & Black Americans (ADOS), because Europe fought each other over land for hundreds of years. And the two greatest wars of all time WW1 “war to end all wars,” & WW2 “the great patriotic war.”

  • @brucesmith1754
    @brucesmith1754 Рік тому +3

    When Ms Fields is speaking of her favorite general Benjamin Butler ,
    I cant help but think of how her words could possibly refer to Trump 2024:
    "He was an SOB, An opportunist,
    a showoff, a man you would think of rather small ideas. And that in a way makes him a perfect example
    of how a situation that demands higher stature will sometimes call it forth from people you least expect
    to expand to that stature."
    @43:14
    If Agent Orange were to make it back into office, Wouldn't it be something if he was the guy to write the executive orders
    for an Anti-Black Crime bill and Got reparations going to FBAs?🤔

      What? You clearly haven't watched Fields and Adolph Reed completely dismiss reparations as even a practical utopianism
