America owes Black people $300 billion for forced labor on African humans between the years of 1600-1800, which with a conservative 6% interest, is $50 trillion+. This does not include financial opportunity loss from the civil war era, Jim Crow, stolen intellectual property and stolen land or domestic terrorism against Black businesses and communities which were “repeatedly” destroyed by racist White mobs without justice, remediation or financial repercussions. This does not include the “slavery remix” of “unchecked” police brutality, mass incarceration and utter atrocities against Black men, Black women, children and families, creating generations of opportunity loss, broken families, mental, physical and spiritual duress, trauma and attempted cultural obliteration, while “hijacking” trillions of dollars of wealth from cultural appropriation. Not to mention robbing ALL of humanity the knowledge of “true” and “actual” history, Black history, world history, based on “facts” for the purpose of “erasing” the greatness and contributions of Black people throughout all time for the sake of easing White guilt and manufacturing Black “amnesia” in hopes of maintaining the generational continuity of this insidious, God-less, system of GREED 🎯 Author: Jeanine Taylor #humanitykindnesshope🌸 #reparations 👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾 #REPARATIONS 😤✊🏿 #americanhistory #blackhistory #worldhistory #greed #culturalappropriation #stolenintellectualproperty #stolenhistory #historicalpropaganda #domesticterrorism #systemicracism #generationaltrauma #40acresandamule #americaowesblackamericatrillions 👈🏾 #TRILLIONS👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾 #criticalracetheory 🤥📚 #notonmywatch✋🏽🛑

Interesting article about Africans that decided to die instead of being slaves. Which doesn't make sense to me. To me, if you going to die, die for a reason. Die for a cause. Die fighting to help save others, not jumping to your death without even trying. I learned Black History from The Klans, Muslims, and the President of the United States of America. Click below to read about my version of why slaves jumped to their death. https://lnkd.in/e8VncvNf

Reflecting on #Juneteenth and the ugly reality of slavery in American History. Black Americans have faced impossible odds and relentless injustices. We cannot deny the stain of slavery on our history but we can be proud that the rights that we have in this country were fought for, they were not handed down by a benevolent ruling class. A quote from Toni Morrison keeps ringing in my head today: The function of freedom is to free someone else. What can you do to help free others? Who have you not invited to the table? Whose voices can you amplify? Are you listening to the folks who are greiving an America who has not lived up to her promise of liberty for everyone? With freedom comes responsibility to push the arc of American history towards justice.

Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, is a time to commemorate African American freedom—and emphasize education and achievement for African American individuals and communities.

This is so interesting because the gentleman making the statement later claims “without the race of men who build America,” but was most certainly not talking about black slave labor lol This statement sheds light on a concerning issue regarding the misinterpretation of history and “patriotism.” Emphasizing "Taking back our country" with confederate flags ignores the historical context: that the Confederacy LOST. The association of “Patriotism” with white nationalism is troubling and further perpetuates bigotry. This has nothing to do with freedom. It’s legit bigotry. The Klan without hoods. To put it simply: A bunch of dweebs. #History #Patriotism #Inclusivity #SocialTalk #Faculty #Professor #afroamerican #CRT #americanhistory #ushistory #banned #criticalracetheory #Blackpeople #Black #blackhistory #historylovers #DoddsEducates #dei #diversitymatters #UnitedStates #USA #UnitedStatesOfAmerica #Polialertcom #segregation #intergration #Education

There were black/brown indigenous people all over today’s Europe/‘western world’ (e.g. the black aboriginal australians & native indians in america). They were systematically erased from world’s history over time. 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. Don’t try to act like black people were savages with no history beyond slavery, poverty and oppression. What is history afraid of?? That if we understand and accept the evidence that all humans share a common African ancestry and that ancient civilizations across the world have African origins, the narratives of white superiority that have been used to oppress and marginalize Africans globally will be undermined? 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.
