@Marcel4Congress @Lucycan22 Not only were they paid, they were given the choice to stay in America or go to Mexico. Some stayed and some went to Mexico.
@NewsToter Just to be clear, #Freedmen is the only term that connects us directly to the legacy of the 4.4M ppl freed from enslavement in 1865. The root of our #Reparations claim will forever be tied to US chattel slavery. https://t.co/xW2eFGeR60
@Moe_APHG @upthenodge @eno_agbor @oye_bade @Joe__Bassey Whitewashed crap! But I though the nose was the weakest point? If that’s the case, how come none of the noses are gone on the European looking ones? Why are they so of PERFECTLY preserved?
@Moe_APHG @Path73207044 @Faith75884317 @MayadaMaher_@RealThorhammer @iamlexstylz Bust of Queen Tiye 1398-1338 BC. She was the daughter of Yuya and Tjuyu. She became the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III. She was the mother of Akhenaten and grandmother of Tutankhamun.
@EgyptAnthro All these modern day sources only prove one thing and that is that whitewashing remains in full effect. I have sources from Herodotus (the so called father of history) and Josephus that say differently. This is laughable 😂!
@doritegrocery Absolutely! This is why we must always be in the room when these kind of conversations are being had. Whether it be by pure ignorance or purposefully, without our oversight, the story always gets skewed.
WATCH: @TonyDokoupil reflects on how his family benefited from government housing policies that were denied to Black Americans. He looks at how those policies contributed to America's wealth gap and asks what should be done about it.
@nikki20188065@CBSThisMorning@tonydokoupil Yes, I’d say it is quite a head start. Here’s some perspective. It will take Black people, the descendants of freedmen, 228 years to catch up to the wealth of White people and that’s if White wealth stands still.

@MrAliBey@misbrown2u@camglamming @SandyDarity They are parroting what YC has said. On her lives, she has often spoken about people taking her talking points. She was mainly talking about Roland Martin but somehow her flying monkeys have made it a thing and are projecting it onto anyone, outside of Y&T, who talk reparations.
@misbrown2u@camglamming @SandyDarity ADOS talking points? You mean our experiences and history? I didn’t know YC & AM are in ownership. Furthermore, if anyone was putting in the work to build a case for reparations, it was Dr, Darity. Twenty-five plus years worth. At one point, Tone couldn’t stop dropping his name.
@SonMemphis@TeranceBaileyjr@MsBattle46 Word! This whole mvmt is nothing but a payday for them & they see YC/AM as their only hope at getting it. They will push brethren off the cliff if they think it will help. They r the very ones least worthy. All that “whataboutism,” in this moment, he’s the equivalent of a snitch.
@doritegrocery@camglamming@MsBattle46@misbrown2u Right! There r rules of engagement, limitations & especially so in these matters. Our problem & always has been, other groups don’t feel we require the same level of respect they do & we let it happen. He should not have an all access pass. Y&T should have put limits on him.
