This is not to say we should not recognize contributions and celebrate all ppl who have had a hand in making America great, but that we not erase the work of those who laid the framework by which others now receive benefit.
@JohnLeguizamo It's the same recipe of yt supremacist.
Folks are disturbed by some of what @JohnLeguizamo documentary #LeguizamoDoesAmerica is espousing. Yes, Latinos are the largest and fastest growing in many areas if you just go by the #. But, these numbers are not organic. They are created artificially due to several factors.
@lotyslove@parisfinesse@saigethemystic I didn't say they were white or white skin. You assumed that point.
African... The dark ppl were the original inhabitants.
You too, have a great weekend!๐
@lotyslove@parisfinesse@saigethemystic Black does not equal African
Nor does African equal black
African is African and can be interchanged CULTURALLY to mean black.
It laziness to not recognize who you are and want to blanket yourself in a label given by ppl who came to colonize.
They're Africans.
@lotyslove@parisfinesse@saigethemystic Read this before. And note when they talk abt any ppl, they refer to ethnic regions. Even as they debunk 'no black civilizations' they state "highly advanced AFRICAN empires/Kingdoms'
Why didn't they say 'black' regions/Kingdoms'๐ค๐ค๐ค...bc they were not black -they're AFRICAN.
@lotyslove@parisfinesse@saigethemystic Totally not the point. There is no DNA genetic coding that identifies as black or white for that matter. DNA is identified by ethnic groups and land region.
What label one calls oneself within a culture or community of ppl is not their DNA. They were/are African.
@HannahDrake628 This is not a new phenomenon.
Note 1916 prior to ww gaining the right to vote vs 1920 the near doubled vote count the first year ww voted.
Just to confirm ww trend in voting GOP, note 1912 ๐ณ.
We really need to stop thinking that somehow this is going to change!!!
It's Not.
@robbystarbuck@ishcontent This is a protection mechanism when in the well of yt supremacist.
The ghost of MLK and the spirit of Malcom X...it makes you stand back and puts you on guard.
@AlCappuccinoIT@leghorn1357 That piece of fabric you're calling a flag was surrendered...
'April 9, 1865, when Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Court House, ending the Civil War, the Confederacy, and American slavery'
Here's your flag!๐๐ฝ

Why do so many people act like two-year-olds these days? This guy is fortunate because all he experienced was embarrassment. He would be dead if he approached a vehicle like this in many cities. Be better and do better, people.
