In 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed the Black Power salute at the Olympics that outraged millions of white Americans.

—The was an act of protest by the U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City.

As they turned to face their flags and hear the American national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner), they each raised a Black-gloved fist and kept them raised until the anthem had finished. Smith, Carlos and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets.

The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games.

Both athletes were kicked off the US team for their protest.

They won’t teach you in school that the Greeks visit Egypt (KEMET) as students to learn about science, economics, mathematics, medicine and etc under the feet of Africans:

Plato studied in Egypt for 13 years.

Pythagoras studied philosophy, geometry and medicine in Egypt for 22 years.

Thales, the first Greek philosopher to study in Egypt for 7 years.

Hypocrates, who is called father of medicine, recognised the Egyptian multi genius, Imhotep as the father of medicine.

The "Pythagorean Theorem" used to build pyramids in Egypt and Sudan over 1000 years before Pythagorean was born.

Plato said Egyptian education makes students more alert and humane. Plato told his students to go to Egypt if they wanted to study the minds of great philosophers.

Heredotus, the Greek historian described ancient Egypt as the cradle of civilization.

Our ancestors opened the doors of our Nation to foreign people, these guests were welcomed with respect and honour according to our traditions but they used our kindness to destroy and cause division amongst Africans and our tradition. When Alexander invaded Kemet he destroyed its museum and send some books back to Macedonia.

BREAKING: Trump’s Lawyers Don’t want this Tweet seen in the Hush Money case, claiming he made it as president and it should be immune from being seen by the jury…

The reason they don’t want it seen is because it shows that he admitted to paying Michael Cohen a retainer.

Remember that the indictment alleges that Cohen's monthly invoices and checks were falsely marked as "retainer" payments

Make sure everyone see’s it. Trump basically admitted to what his lawyers are trying to deny.

The EU Migration Pact in short: more racial profiling, more prisons, and more weapon-like technology for the policing of borders.

The #RoyalNavy did not do this for a moral purpose.
The British were ace pirates, & understood that control of the seas was crucial to empire.

So: just stop all of the ships carrying slaves....but don't stop slavery in the colonies, 'cause-well-that's not the point,is it?
