This is just black racists using a stage to promote anti-Whiteness for clout. They have no understanding of slavery - they are devoid of any historical fact. They don't know a damn thing about slavery, however, they have a bizarre and bogus theory that only White people engaged in slavery! Woketards listen up - the only Whites who engaged in slavery were a paltry 1% of the US population at the height of slavery and those were the super (mostly southern) wealthy families. School is in session blacktivists and lunatic leftists so open your eyes! Do you know how much slaves cost? Slaves were not free, adjusted for inflation just 1 slave cost about the equivalent of $75,000 today and no less than $25,000! They also had to be housed and fed. I am not saying slaves were treated well, but obviously, they were paid labor, and spending that much money for just slaves meant that they had to be taken care of - they were an investment. The US fought for its independence and won it in 1776 - The British Empire's colonial territories in the Americas, known as British America, were under British rule from 1607 to 1783! After 1776 several colonies abolished slavery and by the 1820s 11 of the 13 colonies abolished slavery. This notion that the US was and still is just full of racist White people is one of the biggest lies believed today! Most Whites in America opposed slavery - READ THAT AGAIN! Slaves were sold by Africans - READ THAT AGAIN! - SLAVES WERE SOLD BY AFRICANS! Roughly 3.5 million African slaves were sold during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade with the majority of those slaves being sold to South Americans! Only around 400,000 slaves were brought to what we know as the USA. You have to be a deeply ignorant person to believe a small group of British guys with muskets managed to round up millions of slaves! WRONG! Africans enslaved their own people and sold them like products. READ THAT AGAIN! The black community wants to hang onto vile and divisive lies because it's an easy way to remove the guilt of black failure - just blame White people. The blacktivists have been blaming White people for decades and their communities keep falling further and further behind even with all these woke ass-kissing White leftists bending laws in the name of equity (equity does not work!). Do you know why it's not working? Because White people are not to blame and handouts don't build strong communities! READ THAT AGAIN! Look at what dominates black culture today - the glorification of violence, violent crime, fatherless homes, racism against non-blacks, burning bridges (i.e. bad behavior and aggression towards people who can help and try to help), impulsive behavior, poor values/priorities, bogus feel-good blacktivist propaganda buzzwords and phrases like "black excellence" - the list of toxic cultural elements goes on and on! Until you realize your culture is to blame things will NEVER improve! READ THAT AGAIN!
Okay the first check was: Kyla Jenée Lacey with a piece called white privilege and the 2nd chic was: FreeQuency Let's support these young women. When they teach Edgar Poe we teach these 2 for starters.
Thank you for the amazing gift of words if I could meet you I would bow down and wipe my hair with your feet finally something that's not just a song with just as magnificently the equivalent of words creating the context of communication and you nailed it on the head the nails in the head of the cough and a really creation and I'm a little tipsy right now getting ready to have that I found found you and me and your words speak my truth and it's amazing how to do what you hear what you've heard and what you listen to can go through you please and these words are my truth what I've lived through I smile through eyes that have tears behind them beating and broken but still alive to say thank you and it's not even enough but say thank you thank you thank you.. .

I used to love this poem back when I was a girl. Now that I’m a woman, I find myself being mad everyday at every damn thing. My people, other people, the education system, politics, etc. Like I’m irritated and tired.
This is genuinely one of the most empowering pieces of writing that I have ever listened to. I watched this for my African American and Diaspora Studies course this semester and I keep coming back to it. Chills every single time.
