    I saw that same video last night and I was a little upset but I couldn't get it off my mind. She said when they killed a slave or one die, that's what the master would say the next day. So, in doing my research, you came up, so thank you for your help with these sick, selfish people who only want to go viral and so many people have viewed your video but no likes because they don't want the truth any more. Lord help us please 🙏

      Thank you. What is happening right now is that we are living in a New Dark Ages where many people today are confused, angry, and bitter, which is understandable. The problem is that there is no sincere and intelligent leadership today on a Martin Luther King level to give the people the guidance to give their emotions the right direction into solving real problems. Many find it easier and more profitable to play on the people's emotions and lack of historical knowledge than to educate them constructively. This is my way of lighting a candle instead of cursing the darkness.

    It's so funny that you say to research because that's exactly what brought me to your video. At work yesterday a young co-worker told me a far fetched story about how the phrase "Good morning" came to be and I immediately thought, "that doesn't sound right." and here I am doing my research trying to see if there was any truth to this story. Of course they saw it on TikTok and took it to heart because only fools believe everything they hear on tiktok 🤦‍♀smdh. This is our future people. I feel sad for this world especially now that I've heard about people pulling their children out of school letting THEM decide what they want to learn. We live in the age of idiots.

    Hello, I’m a linguistics student from South Africa at the University of Pretoria and a hobby historian. I really enjoyed your video and appreciate your active effort in teaching and preserving the truth. Just a small correction: Guten Morgen made its way into Middle English, not Old English, so this would be around 1150-1500 (years are off the top of my head), with the earliest evidence from the latter part of the era. Otherwise, I love your content and aspire to be like you.

    I agree however, I don't use "good morning" because I see my Risings as Grand...Great Awakenings. So that's what I spread...if "good" is enough for the masses...I leave them right there✨️

Don’t believe what you find on the internet etc true but if you research enough you will learn it’s a negative word to keep us in low vibrations. Mourning is connected to Grieving period

      The word mourning comes from the Old English word murnan, which means "to mourn" or "to be anxious". It is related to the Old High German word mornēn, which also means "to mourn", and the Greek word mermēra, which means "care". These aren't even the same words.
