There were black/brown indigenous people all over today’s Europe/‘western world’ (e.g. the black aboriginal australians & native indians in america). I am not arguing for the supremacy of one race over another. Race is a man-made concept. I am an advocate for a world that embraces people of all colors as equal humans. Let’s look for commonalities instead of fixating on differences. The injustices of the past can never be repatraited for enough. However, the least history can do is to get its facts right. Why is an inclusive future a threat? It’s not even about wealth/income - because Africa is bursting off her seams with indigenous wealth. It’s about power and privilege. The fear of losing power and privilege is what has fuelled a vile system of oppression for years.

Today marks the start of Black History Month! Black history is American history, and there is always more for us to learn. Early in the period of U.S. slavery, benevolent societies were created to care for the sick and bury the dead with dignity. In 1787, the Free African Society was founded in Philadelphia by freed slaves to provide aid. This organization and others like it were the forerunners of the first insurance company organized by African Americans.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is a day dedicated to commemorating the liberation of enslaved Black people from slavery in the United States. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gwqu7264

History and Truth should enlighten us so that we do better in our quest for a more just and free world.

THE GLOBAL AFRICAN AWAKENING ASE' By any means necessary, historically, "White Supremacy" has intentionally put systems in place to oppress and suppress those of African descent and people of color across the globe. This systematic racism ranges from Education, health, mental health employment, food, economic, media, equal rights and legalities. To mention a few: 1. Cointel pro 2. Three strikes Laws 3. Apartheid 4. Segregation 5. Colonization 6. Jim Crow Laws 7. Tulsa and more- Destruction of various Black communities 8. Tuskegee Experiment 9. House Negro & Field Negro 10. Willie Lynch Letters 11. Berlin Conference - Colonial Borders to divide Africa 12. Transatlantic Slavery 13. Universal Eurocentric scholarship & ideologies 14. 22 Cues of African Leaders against Colonialism 15. Assassinations of rising of "Black Messiah". 16. Demonizing Pro Black Terms like: (Woke, Civil Rights, Afrocentrism, DEI, Affirmative actions, etc). 17. Redlining & Blockbusting 18. Highway Act - drive highways directly through Black & Brown communities. 19. Intentional exclusion 20. Hierarchy Science 21. Caste System 22. Groups who became "White" to increase the race numbers: i.e Arabs, Jews, Turks, Italians, Irish, and even some North Africans and Asians. 23. Buckbreaking 24. Social Services 25. For Profit Prisons - The new Slavery 26. Slave Catchers - Origin of Police in USA And so many more... (Feel free to Post below those I failed to mention) To be clear, White Supremacy (Elite racist Groups or some call "the 1 percent" that controls the world) does not apply to ALL "WHITE PEOPLE" but it is important to note, that those ushered into the race classification of "White" have benefited from "White" privilege that Non-whites have not. This is why knowing your History is so important... the Truth Hurts, the Truth separates one from the lie, the Truth causes for Action & Reform, the Truth can get you Killed, but the Truth is Freedom. We must restore the Truth! #blackhistory365 #blackexcellence #knowthyself

Now what

June 19th, 1865 is the day enslaved Texans learned of their emancipation… two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It’s important to understand that the work of achieving and communicating emancipation fell largely on enslaved people themselves. And it’s important for us to acknowledge and celebrate this day because it’s how we begin grow out of leaving the work and responsibility for restoring and/or acheiving the American principles of freedom and equality to marginalized and systematically disempowered groups and individuals. It’s a good day to remember that Black History is American History, and it’s all of our work. https://lnkd.in/g6C_he8t

DO BLACK LIVES REALLY MATTER? Conflicts involving Black people don't receive the attention they deserve. The media often focuses on wars in Ukraine and Gaza, but conflicts affecting Black communities receive little to no coverage. Take Sudan, for example. The country has been at war for years and is on the brink of collapse. This crisis will cause multitudes, including children, to suffer from starvation. Despite this, there is no outcry from the media or African Diaspora. Why are African Americans crying out for Palestinians but not for Blavks in Sudan? Other African countries like Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, and South Sudan are also experiencing conflicts without any attention from the media or outraged African Americans. It's time to ask ourselves: do Black lives really matter?
