@BlueEye66092475@latimes@davidfrum 40 millions acres of farm land on the most fertile soil in America were taken from black farmers across America, including my grandpa’s farm. Reparations to Black American farmers needs to be addressed before we settle other claims but there’s no reason not to honor the treaties.
@guvvuruf@latimes For all intents & purposes White people control land in California, but u want to take this tiny black owned parcel. It seems ur targeting the wrong prize, if u intend to restore indigenous California, there is one county in California owned by a single family. Holler @ them.
@AliSanguis @yoloboyd02 White people don’t use pressing irons & it’s highly unlucky that u even know what one is, much less what black hair smells like that has been treated by one. Denzel argument stands ur contemptuous objection overruled.
@BlackNews718@Ras_Tafari_DNA@BlackPowerBA I know for a fact that is true. There was no connection period. My generation created this art form & I observed firsthand its evolution from a teenage obsession to a global phenomena. The Soul Train generation gave birth to hiphop & Black Am teenagers fueled its rise globally .
@BlackPowerBA I went to rap parties in NYC during the 70s and this exactly mirrors my recollection, except there were no Jamaicans at the parties I attended in Harlem. The only other ethnic group involved early hiphop were Puerto Rican.
@wyntonmarsalis Absolutely Wynton. I saw u play at the Elysian Fields with ur family band before u became a renowned Jazz player. New Orleans is always on my mind & in my heart ❤️ no matter the time or place, but especially now.
@NBACSBQPQ Five deferments amounts to privilege and cowardice. Anyone who follows that example is hardly credible and why America hasn’t won a war since my US Marine father’s generation. Ur terrified tired and spent, the exact opposite of a free man. Trump is loser and so r u.
@NBACSBQPQ Ur argument is fit for the toilet. Trump & anyone who would support the draft dogging racist rest at the root of our societal woes. I was among the few Americans who opposed the War Against Terror, which was not only wasteful & stupid but like Trumpism, a crime against humanity.
@NBACSBQPQ This is exactly why it happened because of Trump who signed a peace deal w the Taliban & bragged @ it’s permanency. Trumpism & stupidity is at the core of this calamity but culpability includes the Press, both political parties, Military Industry & Americans who voted for G Bush.
@PaulPog74318418 @GeeWalla @QveenSasafrass@BlackPowerBA At the bottom of what? A burning ship that u were only able to board because of the black people u mock & ridicule? Where’s the ❤️ & solidarity because ur going to need it on ur way down? I know enough @ America & people like u to predict the outcome & it won’t be nice.
@PaulPog74318418 @GeeWalla @QveenSasafrass@BlackPowerBA Jesus Christ was at the bottom. But what does it mean to be comfortable in a burning ship built on plunder & Slavery? What u call successful is conspiring with the Devil. So of course u out perform people who’ve been robbed of generations of wealth tap dancing for the Devil.
@QveenSasafrass@BlackPowerBA Of course it does when u can’t prove ANYTHING. I attended rap parties in Harlem in the mid 70s. And u my dear, what is ur personal connection to this history? My generation created this art form so I know firsthand from actual experience that u stirring the pot is not cooking.
@PerfectUrPurpos@USCDornsife It seems all the haters can do is tweet and run. And they run really fast when they hear ADOS. If not for ole boss man they wouldn’t have any means to project themselves. They have no mission purpose or capacity beyond their keyboards & a useless flag.
@DiasporaAbc We’re all the same right? Where is the Brotherly ❤️ boss man? Where’s the equanimity? Where’s the sportsmanship? Where’s the respect for ur competition? We’re all the same right? So why celebrate the Jamaicans @ the expensive of Americans, who r exactly the same people? Explain!
@DiasporaAbc@westindimade Jamaica isn’t Haiti. Haiti isn’t Brazil. Nigeria isn’t Cameroon. SA isn’t Zimbabwe. Carib ID wasn’t inclusive of Americans, but u say we the same except when u r Jamaican, which is very different from other islanders. Tall isn’t short! Black isn’t white! I’m not u ur not me!
