      For 400 years, here at least, they called us black and we even got so brainwashed we called ourselves that. I ask you now...how many time have they asked us to prove that we are "black"? Were is the nation of black? What was the language and culture of the people who lived in black? They never asked that did they? They never cared that billions of people shared the same heritage as a crayon. We don't claim to be jew-ish. We are Israel. Let them ask the people of black to prove themselves first. Many "white" folks are looking for answers today.

    simple concept basic logic if life is not free why the hell would death be any cheaper it's not. So the question one may wonder is the spiritual cost to one's own soul and spirit for having lived and died to the lowest standards of quality for so many years now global pollution has diminished the quality of life to the point where today's people are living, dying and yielding the worst spiritual kickback that has ever been manifested since the beginning of life only getting worse. The polar opposite extreme to that is today's people should be living and dying to the highest standards of quality which would make each and every moment physically, mentally, financially and spiritually beneficial.

    A thought on reparations…The financial legacy that enabled
    some families to build on and pass on to their descendants, is still very much
    in evidence and can still be seen to this very day. While the zero financial
    legacy of those that provided that free labor had nothing to pass on to their
    descendants, labor being what it is, an intangible substance.

    • @fritzjackson4336
      @fritzjackson4336 5 років тому

      What evidence? Most white people here descend from post-slavery immigrants or are only made up of about 1/16 or less of a slave-related family. On top of that, most of the south was dirt poor and only slave owners were really raking it in. The poor whites were just pro-slavery because they saw themselves as prospective slavers, but 90% of them were unsuccessful in ever even owning a slave at the height of slavery. It's quite literally impossible to scientifically work out for every person and illegal in many respects to our 4th Amendment rights.

    Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave. It was a political move by Lincoln that so called "freed" slaves in the Confederate States where of course he had zero say so. southerners laughed and went on with their business. When the 13 amendment was passed years later it abolished slavery EXCEPT as a punishment for a crime. Of course this makes "Juneteenth" utterly useless and distracting. black people don't have time for anymore distractions.
