As most of us already know, the 13th amendment did NOT abolish slavery as is falsely taught in schools, it literally states slavery is allowed as punishment for a crime. CLEARLY The 13th amendment only transformed the conditions in which slavery can occur, and DID NOT abolish it. And there are literally just as many slaves ALLOWED BY LAW today as there were back at the worst times of slavery in the U.S., I really believe this needs to be fixed and the 13th Amendment needs to state that slavery can not be allowed under ANY circumstance, and I know I can't be the only one that feels this way. AS truly abolishing slavery would be stating, slavery is not allowed under ANY circumstance, which the first draft of the amendment actually did say, "everywhere within the limits of the United States, and of each state or territory thereof, all persons are equal before the law, so that no person can hold another as a slave." But it was changed, to slavery is allowed, "as punishment for a crime" so those acting racist, that want to enslave, can continue to practice that racism, and continue to enslave. This has resulted in racist prison sentences, the war on drugs, the CONTINUED police brutality, as many that are racist in the police/criminal justice system(the system is behaving criminally-someone said that in a documentary I saw and it's so factual) still act as slave masters and have (anyone can easily research and verify) repeatedly since the passing of the 13th amendment arrested those with darker skin color, DISPROPORTIONATLY to those with lighter skin color, ALL to continue slavery in another way. These disproportionate sentences I am sure we have all researched, seen and known, and I KNOW we can put an end to this if we work together, and fix the 13th amendment so no one can enslave anyone else. The best idea I could think of is to find a petition for all of us to sign, share and raise awareness on these issues, but if everyone doesn't think this is the best way for us to demand that this 13th amendment needs to be fixed to not allowing slavery under any circumstances PLEASE LET US SHARE IDEAS AND WORK TOGETHER TO FIX THIS HERE. This is the reason for this topic, lets work together and come up with ideas on how to fix this together. I do feel the petition can work though, because if enough awareness is raised, and enough people sign it, it sends a message to those with the ability to fix the laws, that if this law is not fixed, a LARGE population, can protest, stop working, and disrupt the regular flow of everything until these demands are met. These protest strategies have worked during the civil rights era, and in India, because we all need recourses, and if we stop working and disrupt the regular flow of things, it makes it much harder for us to get those recourses. But please if you have another idea share, though I believe this petition/protest is the greatest/most focused one on an ACTUAL law that affects us all, to help change and fix this issue.https://www.change.org/p/repeal-and-replace-the-13th-amendment-to-the-u-s-constitution?fbclid=IwAR3ZichZRd7T72ElsG-LWvWOQU_s1fwdPT6sukyC0ohhz_kNF7H24US49PU Another really important issue that has passed under the radar of most Americans, but I am sure many of us here are aware of, is "Environmental Racism." Environmental racism is something the government is factually doing, by choosing to fund & take care of environments where those with a lighter skin color live, and NOT funding or taking care of environments where those with a darker skin color live, as well as selectively dumping toxic chemicals in and around communities of color and causing GENOCIDE. When by the 14th amendment NONE should be deprived of life and liberty, and depriving communities of color the recourses for proper schooling, not properly fixing up city infrastructure, the way that light skinned communities are fixed up & funded, ALL is depriving of life and liberty, and by the 14th amendment equal funding 100% should be done, IT IS WHY WE PAY TAXES. And we have state and federal taxes to go into this as well, for light skinned communities much of the infrastructure is built this way, but the excuse we REPEATEDLY HEAR, is oooohhhh we don't have enough local taxes, well everything is not only funded by local tax, we can research and see schools, and cities are also funded by state and nationwide federal taxes, so there should be NO excuse to ignore and selectively fund communities based on skin color. ALL COMMUNTIES SHOULD BE FUNDED EQUALLY BY THE 14th AMENDMENT. Which states "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. AND WE HAVE ALL seen the results of this environmental racism that goes against the 14th amendment, the ghettos of today, dilapidated buildings, pot holes, schools not funded, as well as LITERAL genocide, as communities of color have targeted toxic dumping happening, both by the government as well as allowed by the government. Here is a petiton I found regarding this also https://www.change.org/p/president-of-the-united-states-end-environmental-racism-that-goes-against-the-14th-amendment?fbclid=IwAR1vZBrwHAF-BRGibccJjlKBsfG5kO5VkEV0UhFZn91M6cG3fBQAasR93tw I fully believe if these demands are met, it will complete the civil rights movement, and city infrastructure, schools, jobs will all be built up, the concept of ghettos across America will be a thing of the past, there will be no more slavery allowed by law, which is even ridiculous that it is allowed in prisons; America is one of the ONLY countries that does this, and so finally the civil rights movement will be completed and we will all actually be treated equally under the law. So to shorten both of these demands as much as possible I think we can say, 1. We demand the 13th Amendment to state that slavery is not allowed under any circumstance. 2. We demand the 14th Amendment is honored and Environmental Racism is Ended But please if you do not believe signing & sharing these petitions/protests can help us to meet these demands that I'm 100% sure will help us to complete the civil rights movement, please let us bring up ideas here and talk about this.

I'm sure you'll enjoy this Professor Black Truth clip @Chevdove This is nothing new. Latinos have been expressing their hatred and racism toward AfroAmericans for DECADES in California. Maybe this will be the final wake-up call needed for Black people to pack up, get out of that racist ass state, and let it drop in the ocean. Just make sure we learn our lesson from this so we don't let them even TRY to do it to us anywhere else in the United States.

OK, so I'm a little late to the party, but I don't believe there's an expiration date to submit responses. @Pioneer1, your responses about the movie and its characters were intriguing. At first, you made my head tilt to the right and my eyes squint because of how I interpreted your comments about Viola's character and the movie's attempt to 'masculinize' black women, but then I took a closer look and was able to recognize the intense love you have for us. Good look'n out. Thank you. Full disclosure. I looked up the definition of Pioneer to help me appreciate the magnitude of your passion. A Pioneer pushes the boundaries to advance a cause or idea. I appreciate you, @Pioneer1. You gave me food for thought. Viola, the BEAUTIFUL duckling who rose from a challenging life to the Woman King - much love my Woman King!

I'm in the process of self-publishing my 4th book and wanted to share a couple of letters to uplift. Enjoy! Your feedback is ALWAYS welcome! Dear Bathroom Facilities, Thank you for allowing me to be alone with you. You and I have so many secrets. Thank you for keeping mine on the low. I know that, at times, it is I who puts my business in the air, but when it counts, you’re always there for me. You’ve become my place of refuge - A place where I can wash the day’s demands away. Thank you for supplying me with everything that I need to release, refresh and revitalize. Thank you for protecting my pride, oh dear sweet bathroom facility. You’ve experienced the best and the worst of me. You’ve proven your unconditional love by harmonizing my words as they bounce off the shower walls. Thank you for believing in me and allowing me to express myself during all sorts of private events. Much love – bathroom facilities. Dear Life, I have no regrets. As a matter of fact, when was the last time that I said, ‘I Love you’. Thank you for all of the experiences that you insisted I have. The lessons learned made me wise, the ‘failures’ made me strong, the women in my life made me the woman I am, the men make me smile, the laughter of children makes me dream, and the sun makes me shine. Thank you, life, for educating me about consequences, for introducing me to frequencies that have elevated my soul – helping me to rise up and manifest my here and now, to live in the moment, and to walk with gratitude on my right and spirit on my left.

In my view, female warriors throughout human history prove that males side females, whether adult or child <yes, children have fought wars> , have to fight together to keep any community alive and thriving. In the historical situation, you have a little kingdom, dahomey, that has a caliphate north of it , similar sized kingdoms east or west of it, and will have a dangerous european base south of it. History shows most governments surrounded by governments with larger populace had to use males plus females to survive or thrive. Viola davis used her own money to help finance this work, utilized south africa to do it. So a black person with money, nonviolently financed a venture which gave black people jobs and even shows a Pan African or Pan Black appeal. And the venture was a fictional display of black violence from black women who are working with black men but not subservient. I say gender equality while community building is the theme. I supported the film before it came out in my small but proud way and continue to do so.

ProfD White folks (Caucasians in general) have BEEN that way since their inception. Sexual perversion and ole weird ass sexual appetites are the NORM for them as group and they don't have to be convinced or brainwashed into do it. They were having sex with dogs while up in the caves and mountains of the Caucasus THOUSANDS of years ago....and continued the practice. No no no....it's OUR PEOPLE who they're really after when these different perverse agendas. We were the righteous people who "didn't do that".....until coming into contact with them. We don't have to mention LGBTQ.....I'm sure you're old enough to remember when most Black men didn't even eat coochie and thought THAT was a filthy act....lol. A few of them started doing it in the 70s and kept quiet about it right up to the late 90s when it became cool to admit. Same thing with the sistaz giving head. Most of them didn't do that 50 years ago.....they started doing it in the 80s for the most part. Learning it from being around White folks.

ProfD But, I did find it odd that the king had a gay man servant. African men don't play that sh8t. I didn't. I didn't find it any more odd than them making the Black Lightning's daughter a lesbian. In the latest movie "NOPE" they've made the main character's sister a lesbian. They've been inserting the LGBTQIA+ agenda into most Black televison shows and movies for the past 15 years or so and Black folks have been going along with it and many even justifying it. His role didn't serve a purpose. Oh it did.....lol...trust me. I know you'd be insulted if I didn't tell you that I know you already KNOW this and don't really have to be told...lol. Troy maybe they were just ticking off another demographic-we-gotta-appeal to box Who was the "we" that had to appeal to that demographic? And who TOLD them they had to appeal to it? It's hard to believe there's no conspiracy to influence people when you yourself suggest ONE group has force ANOTHER group to adjust their art and expression to appeal to certain demographics. if you ever actually watch the movie, it would be interesting to see if you are willing soften your harsh critique. I might....lol....which is one of the reasons I REFUSE to watch it. I don't want it to change me or influence me. That's why they are called "Hollywood". Because they have a MAGICAL way of influencing people and changing their beliefs through sight and sound. Why would I PURPOSELY subject myself to conditioning and propaganda?

Their name for Sirius means heavy. Which ius interesting since it is a dwarf star that is heavy and can't be seen without a telescope. They also arrange their huts in a fractal pattern, before fractals were discovered

Woah, please Chevdove read what is being written, no where did I excuse the messed up actions. AT ALL. I simply said these originate from survival instincts in all life, that make someone want to say, oh the body I have is perfect, everyone else is savage etc., meant to serve this body type, and give food etc., all the resources we need for survival. I was saying you can see this happened around the world in every skin color/body type. Nearly every war that was fought in the past took slaves, with this same instinctual mentality. THAT mentality I really have been trying to focus on and say THAT is the problem, not anyone's looks, or skin color, or features, THAT MENTALITY. In every body type stemming from survival instincts. And also replying to the last post again in no way am I blaming the victim, I said we are all trying to understand the reasons many spirits in Europe did this messed up behavior. Which again clearly shows I am saying it started from Europe trying to enslave. THE only thing again I was saying is in us all, and we absloutly need to see is in us all if we are to be free, and no longer slaves to our instincts, slaves to survival, so we can extend beyond that see the Truth, Truly Live and be free, is that these instincts are in all the manifested body types we have. And I feel that concept was seen at the end of the reply, but I just want to clarify in case it wasnt, that I was saying in previous post, that in pretty much every place/country there were slaves. It's not that some body type is just born out to get some other body type, that's what I was saying is racist, wrong, and exactly how countries have justified war with this racist ideology. But it's that out of these survival instincts all body types have, if some country has found some innovation(with Europe they found gunpowder) instead of extending beyond survival instincts, fear, and becoming a helpful loving civilization, (nearly every civilization on this planet, including again the world fallen from this ancient Eden like in ancient Egypt, having slaves building pyramids, statues, etc., used that power to just blindly follow their instincts and get others to gather recources for them)used that power to enslave, rather than help. You can very clearly see in recent times Europeans did this with the discovery of gunpowder, and pretty much enslaved or destroyed, any place or population without the tech/ discoveries to defend themselves, so this happened mainly in Africa, some places in India, then the"new world" or the Americas, which were not discovered until later. So we can see when we look at history, every country has had some "eugenics" program or some way they view the body they have as perfect, and everyone else's body as imperfect or lessor, out of these survival instincts, and tried to get other countries to serve them &gather resources for them again out of these instincts, that are destroying us all and keeping us from attaining enlightenment and True freedom, until we stop being afraid, stop blindly following, search for Truth, then break free.

@Chevdove To be honest with you, I didn't really read down that far yet....nor did I read his words too closely. I kind of skimmed through them the other morning while having a coffee and listening to some other dudes on Youtube....lol. So many characters come through here with their own philosophies..... I don't have the time to examine them and their material too closely. Maybe I should though. But I'm glad Sani found a spot where he can express himself.
