Be aware: The United Negro College Fund, the National Council of Negro Women, the National Political Congress of Black Women, the NAACP, the Urban League, the Rainbow Coalition, and there are others, all have their constituencies, (and they do serve real purposes), but none of them straightforwardly address the descendants of American Slaves' special, growing needs. Now, are slaves still "colored people" to the NAACP, or have we turned 'black,' or have they conceded to the term African American? Regardless of where they stand at the moment, it is clear they do not solely target the descendants of American Slaves. To Learn More Read: America's Little Black Book www.Slaves-USA.com

This is so incorrigible I wish I could say what I really feel.... nonetheless here is the "high road" the one most of us walk on a daily basis while others are fortunate that it exists... So as to keep the guilty in a constant state of comfort as well as keep my jobs, contracts and business venture safe from extinction... To be comfortable with a Lie... is to be comfortable with the LIAR, THIEF AND MURDERER. If this agenda and propaganda is what one thinks will allow the future generation to mutate backwards and keep the current generation silenced while volatile... and the past generation rolling in their graves screaming a clarion call to the living, "Wake the whole hell up and DO something!" Those who purport, perpetrate, postulate, pontificate, permeate and personify this posture and attitude are at base more mentally ill than their predecessors and 100% more dangerous to the current and future generations. May perdition exist in their current and afterlife... which they seem to be heavily pursuing! Ignorance is not bliss and stupidity is willful ignorance--and you think that's normal and civil? Do YOU think the 'benefit theory' is sane and moral, but grossly afraid that it could become equitable because you're outnumbered all over the world? Is Ron DeSantis' ideology and mindset a clear and present danger? Is he representative of white fragility in its most raw form? Those are real questions by the way. I'm sure there will be crickets and silence even amongst those who may agree. I don't seek in any way to be a martyr.... although I'm well aware that those who are most uncomfortable with truth are usually completely guilty or at a minimum complicit and may privately be enraged. Should they slip and expose that rage in some for of retribution... then... well (here's where being a thinker can help). That's my articulate "nice and high road."

The blatant lie that enslaved people of African ancestry benefited from North American Chattel Slavery — has a history. These falsehoods helped justify slavery as early as the 1800s. But it doesn’t stop there. Listen. Learn. Share.

#Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States, commemorating the emancipation of the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. This historic day serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of my ancestors, whose perseverance and courage paved the way for future generations. As a Southern Black woman from Houston Texas, I am deeply proud of my heritage, which profoundly influences my identity and values. The legacy of my ancestors is a constant source of inspiration, motivating me to honor their sacrifices and contributions through my work and everyday actions. Understanding the depth of my roots instills in me a sense of responsibility to continue their legacy of resilience and resistance. Their stories of struggle and triumph shape my worldview and fuel my passion for justice and equality. From the plantations of the South to the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement, their journey is intertwined with the broader narrative of American #History—a narrative of resilience in the face of adversity, and triumph against all odds. This profound connection to my heritage drives me to uplift and empower others within my community, ensuring that their voices are heard and their stories are celebrated. It inspires me to advocate for systemic change and to fight against injustices that continue to impact marginalized communities today. In celebrating Juneteenth, we honor not only the end of slavery but also the ongoing struggle for true freedom and equality for all. Together, we continue the legacy of resilience and resistance, forging a path towards a future where justice and opportunity are accessible to every person, regardless of race or background.
