you need to live in the past because y'all have no hope of a future...been free and had rights for a long time, yet still killing each other in the streets. smdh
Thank you for sharing part of the history of your people. I cannot begin to imagine the constant horror they witnessed and the constant terror they felt. When I learned about slaves in grade school I cried.
It was much worse than what the narrator described. Pregnant women were brutally hanged and their unborn child cut out of them and stomped to death when it fell to the ground. Women were rapped anytime the enslavers felt like it,taken right from their husbands and families and there was nothing they could do to help. Hangings were entertainment, whites would pick a black person to hang and stand around and watch and laugh; white children as well. That’s where the word “picnic” came from, I’m sure you know what the “nic” meant. Even more brutal was that the white slavers sexually assaulted the male slaves in front of others to break their manhood, it was called “buck breaking”. Any other horror or form of human torture that you can imagine happened. Slaves were mutilated while still alive and set on fire. I grew up in Alabama and was told the stories by my great grandparents who witnessed these things. We were too poor to own slaves but my ancestors worked on the plantations.
thank you for schooling those who try to hide something that will never be hidden or forgotten
I meant was from an individual that was extremely disrespectful while being accustomed to voicing everyday racism. this is an ancient history this is living history. because the atrocities would people of African descent in America did not stop at the end of slavery, it continues to this day. it continues with the attitudes like the first commenter. he is only upset because he can't as boldly as his ancestors due to us what his ancestors did to ours. because what they were able to do has only been highlighted since the 1960s. they like to pretend,bury and deny the atrocities that they commit while continuing to do the same atrocities. the only part of history in America that's supposed to be forgotten, it's a dehumanization of Black people. hell the Holocaust didn't even happen in America but we're supposed to have respect and reverence for that but forget what actually happened on this soil. Never.
As long as we educate our children they can not earse our history! Shame on them.
no one and I mean no one can change history good or bad no one can change it we all just need to learn from it and do better
it pains my soul to know that my ancestors were so vicious I love everyone and I can not comprehend why people would do this when some of the greatest minds and leaders were the sun people (black) in case you didn't know but you'll never hear about those great people well I want to apologize from myself to all my brothers and sisters for the horror you experience and if I could turn back time I would do my best to save as many as I could God bless y'all love from your lighter colored sister
I'm listening sister
😭 wow the hatred is still alive just read some of the comments smh, my god have mercy on your souls..amen
I love you because you're black I love you because you spoke enough and you wasn't quiet everybody has very little to say because it's free it is so free just like we breathe that thank God for you sister thank you thank you thank you as a mother sister cousin best friend all that thank you
I live in a very red spot in my state, they never went into depth in my school. it wasn't until I left my town to multi culture areas I learned the truth.
Not living in the past, ensuring our children know their true history. Not the truth. Some want to erase. "African American Museum "
Let's play this game with them see if they like it
this is so hurtful. Just imagine the same things are still happening. wow we must separate and unite and let go do for self our ancestors had there own we must do the same
what🤔
I wish our youth would understand this because all of the gangs have no purpose like it did when they first started them
u r right they aren't teaching the right things I am white with a little Indian in me but my littlest daughter is half black and everyone deserves to hear the tragic truth about the history of African American ppl an how bad white ppl did them they should be proud of how far they came an how much their ancestors did to get them where we r today. I am so glad I wasn't born in that time. but back to what I was saying they should tell the facts about the history of the ppl. it not right. I really feel like we should be united as one now but never forget where we come from. I'm ashamed of my ancestors if they had anything to do with slavery.
Well told. Truthful . And yet, as our famous Black posters said, "Still we rise". Thank you, young woman.🌸
United States wake up.
DEUTERONOMY 28:681 KINGS 8: 46GODS WILL BEING DONE FOR OUR FOREFATHERS NOT OBEYING AS IS TODAY.
My great grandmother told me she was beaten and was a slave in Costa Rica in the 1890, my grandma was Italian,she was tooken from France and enslaved brought to Costa Rica and was brutally beat and whipped and worked for a powerful family.They were not a white family either.Then she was orphan sent to United States and freed from Pennsylvania then shipped like cattle to San Francisco and that how I got here but the stories she told us were sad but she never let any of that get to her she was just happy she had grandkids and got to see us before she passed at a good old age of 102.God bless you Grandma Angie. We are all in this together for the past look into our future for our kids!!
Thank you my sister for educating our black children 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

That’s right Queen; Tell it like it was and still is.
Thanks for saying the Truth which is Hard for YT to say so they can cover up their Evil Doings and now they want to make Americiakkk great again for us it was never great until we as a people stick together come as 1 the next few years will be Hell.🤔🥹😢😢😭
It sounds like my people having to go to residential schools, only to be tortured. or beaten if we answered in our native tongue. And now the horror happened. as massive Native children were murdered and buried in mass graves Of course, my grandma survived (or I wouldn't be able to write this) but at a great price. I was learning my language with my grpa (he was a code talker. stationed in Germany during WWII). one day I asked my grma how to say a word, and she broke down in tears. the 'Caucasians' beat the language out of her. I felt horrible and then my grpa told me what happened to her . I was 5yo and I wanted to go beat them up. But look at us now #wearestillhere 👍👌💪🏽💪🏿
thank you, ma'am!
The truth …
truth
Keep sharing
Thank you for your honest history🙏🏼
all I can say many people will pay for their evil vile things
unbelievable SAD AND HEART BREAKING 👍🙏🙏.
we live this daily ,
You’re the one that should be carrying the story. My generation did all it could my ancestors my mother and aunts and uncles those who march for our civil rights and now our youngsters seem to be letting it slip away because they just don’t know how bad it was even after slaverywhen I was growing up to look a white man directly in the eye could get you shot or arrested
wow that's still hurt to day but remember God seen it all one day it going to be all over one day we been hating far no reason
modified salvery today...critical thinking, don't get it twisted..
the truth from those who lived it
EVILNESS
Thank you for explaining the history of this it’s shameful
we all know the slave story. How is this information useful?
should we move to Africa or stay and fight for what or people built?
our government can tell all the lies they want to tell and make our schools tell all the tale and lies. But we the people know the truth about slavery. we are not stupid like our government wants us to be. we know horrible evil things happened to slaves. And I am truly very sorry for every living soul that went through that. and our government still keeps us divided so we have less strength to fight back. They use us like puppets now!!keeping all races apart and hating on each other. They know what they are doing and they have us eating out of their hands! It's all sickening what they are doing to us all now
thank you for that knowledge, my sister with love ❤️
we still are
Absolutely, amazing thank you for sharing. You know Our GOD said he will make your enemies your foot stool!!!!!!
Amen
