Sad part about remembering #HurricaneKatrina 20 years later is that we are currently in hurricane season and the way our state and federal government is set up, the horrific sights we saw on Aug. 29,2005 can just as well be a reality in 2025!
Remembering Hurricane Katrina 20 years later is an unfortunate reminder of how my hometown of NOLA was failed on every level! Lives were lost and the fabric of families were changed forever. The reality of Katrina is something you can never really mentally recover from.
@Acyn Vance doesn’t READ the Bible! 1. “What good is it, dear brothers & sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?” James 2:14 NLT
2. James 2:20 “But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?”
@Dashjones1000@0nlyMeez@jemelehill When you have some free time watch “The Untold Story: Slavery in the 20th Century” This may help answer your question. Between Louisiana and Mississippi there is a lot of documented cases of slavery taking place damn near 100yrs after 1865!
@0nlyMeez@Flintcoin@jemelehill From what I know and have researched the last “known” and documented slaves in history was in 1963! I’m not foolish enough to think that there are not more cases around that time or even after that whose story has yet to be told.
@0nlyMeez@Flintcoin@jemelehill Please watch The Untold Story: Slavery in the 20th Century or read about “Mae Louis Walls Miller”. I’m not sure where you are from, but for me I still live where we are reminded daily from the streets we ride on, the plantations we past that slavery is more recent than 1865!
@Flintcoin@0nlyMeez@jemelehill You have such a utopian thought process of when a law is passed in the U.S. every state follows it! It’s 2025 & our own President can’t follow the law so what makes you think that the southern states just outlawed slavery in 1865… why do you think there is Juneteenth? 🤦🏾♀️
@Flintcoin@0nlyMeez@jemelehill You can read back on EVERYTHING that I have posted for the last couple of hours and educate and see my point of view for yourself if need be. There is no need for me to sit here and be repetitive on the stuff I just debated!
@0nlyMeez @papidot_ @LucetteIMCE@jemelehill So I’ll let you do the math on the FREE ppl that need to be held responsible: Direct Slave Owners + people who benefited from the economic impact + social benefit + national benefit! Seems like the majority benefited and not the low # Jillian is trying to explain
@0nlyMeez@jemelehill Maybe you need to re-read @jemelehill actually point. She never said anything about “making someone pay”. she said” the white folks who did not personally own slaves gleefully participated in the economy and white supremacy created by slavery.”
@0nlyMeez@jemelehill 1. Who said I was going after anyone? 2. I’m educating people like YOU that slavery isn’t just an event that took place “soo many years ago” 3. It becomes a universal issue when states like Mississippi didn’t abolish slavery until 1995 & it wasn’t official until 2013!
@0nlyMeez@jemelehill Slavery didn’t just disappear in 1865!
I can tell you that my Great-Grandmother was born (1889) into slavery in NOLA. My grandmother was born on that same plantation! The 13 amendment that abolished slavery had a “loophole” that most southern states used to continue slavery.
