HAPPY THANKSGIVING Holiday! -- Revisiting Native American History—The Yamasee Chief Se’khu Hadjo This video is amazing! Instead of a focus on the American aspect of the Thanksgiving holiday, however, this video shares some fascinating history about the American Indians. Furthermore, it addresses my passion in research in that thousands of years ago, the Ancient Americas was inhabited by a dominant presence of many ancient people of African descent. Even though the modern term ‘African’ and other terms have been misused to erase true history, nevertheless, these descriptions should not be a problem if used within a proper context. At about the 6-minute mark, the European description of Native Americans as being the color of CINAMMON, was also later addressed along with the term RED SKIN and I find this to be very crucial because this physical identity also addresses the presence of many natives of America of African descent. I was also surprised to see at the 11:50 minute mark, a picture of the late Richard Roundtree. His traits were compared to a Native American man. I believe that his origins are from East Africa Sudan, from the Horn of Africa though. But at about the 9:30 minute mark some of the most important comments were made that gives depth to the presence of ancient Black Americans that are native to this continent: “Everybody on the earth came to the earth as followed Black folk. The only natives you got on the earth are Black people. They were the original natives. Everybody else came here, they were followers. They came here and were raised in either Asia or the European … continent … or in the Pacific Islanders as Free Loaders. They got some of the free benefits … Blacks were the original people on the earth. And so, whether you call them Native Americans or Original People, that’s their title.” It has always been a subject of much controversy as to who were the first kind of humans to inhabit the ancient worlds in such continents such as in the ancient Americas and even in far eastern countries such as ancient China in the Eurasian continent. And this question has also been one of much contention even in the continent of Africa. However, what makes the history of places like North America a standalone, so-to-speak, would be the willingness of today’s European scholars to completely erase the true presence of African people ever even being here in North America in the earliest of time. Their definition of the ancient American would be a light skinned people with very straight hair and their physical description completely omits any likeness, traits, or identity of the presence of people of African descent. Nevertheless, the last person interviewed at the 12:50 minute mark was a man with straight hair that we know today to be an American Indian and he was gracious enough to sum up this entire video! All in all though, I believe that the whole truth about history here in ancient North America will not be completely understood until an accurate connection has been made with the origins of all Native Americas as they at one point migrated from the Old World. Even though Native Americans would obviously not have any direct connection to Africa or the Old Mediterranean World, however, I believe it would be importannt to know when they left the Old World and why they left. For example, the name 'Yamasee' has a syntax similarity with the root word 'Yam' and in West Africa the root 'Yam' has been a major part of many cultures so much so, there are major festivals so, for this reason, it would be beneficial to research to know if there was some kind of connection of the Yamasee to West Africa. Also, until the history and prophecies written in the Holy Bible can be understood therefore, the complete truth will not be understood.

Either one will do as long as it's honest and doesn't cause harm or mistreatment to others.😎

Well brotha @Stefan, I appreciate the compliment.🙏🏿 I enjoy the space brotha @Troy has created here. I just try to do a small part in keeping discussions lively and entertaining. Back to the program.... More than a handful of countries as listed above. I stand corrected.😉 Authoritarian and hybrid regimes, flawed and failed democracies lead to violence and instability. No matter how poor and/or unstable a country is there are folks running around fat and happy because they are better off than them. The common denominator in every one of those countries is Black people. IMO, mainstream news organizations aren't interested in reporting it because that would uncover who is ultimately responsible for the political and economic instability of those countries. Yet, Black folks throughout the planet have enough access to technology, information and resources to highlight these problems. Social media could be used for more than posting a bunch of BS. In fairness, it's hard to help folks who aren't helping themselves. Maybe it's just easier to flee and/or bury one's head in a TikTok video.😎

Yep. Men commit all types of transgressions and atrocities in the name of greed, lust, power and money. Yet, an honest and decent man can have anything desired if he's willing to work hard for it. 😎

Consensual. She never pressed charges. Just casually wrote about it her book. Craziness. But, it's the same mentality that allows clergy folks to get away with abuse. Of course, a Black man can't get away with exerting any type of power. There's no statute of limitations in prosecuting him whether it's real or imagined. White men will continue getting away with all types of sh8t as long as they're controlling the game.😎

Cool..... i can roll with that. Racism pure and simple is Ignorance. Racism as we know it today...is pretty recent development - thought it has antecedents. Prior to the 1500 Race was about Ethnicity Nationality and Kinship....Cultural and or Religious Affinities. After The 1500 Race was about Groups of people sharing common physical characteristics.....that differs from what other groups have in common. Who knows what their goals are?? Never said they would... Outwardly they profess to be about World Peace and Human Rights....hence the Arabs Look to them for help among others. The Congo they are experiencing war too....lets generously help the Congolese

I'll refrain from my criticism of The Color Purple out of respect for my Mother. ❤️ 🤫 It was one of her favorite movies.

You know how many "stupid" people gave birth to geniuses? Birth control yes. Eugenics no. Taking care of children yes.

Welcome to the forums @Jean2021. The Florida governor is attempting to leverage the fear and insecurity created by an exploitative system that is weakening the middle class and class and keeping many more in poverty. I live in Florida, a relatively liberal area, Tampa, but over the past decade everything has gotten more expensive housing, insurance, water, energy, restaurants -- everything! I have never seen this type of inflation. I brought my mom a pack of cigarettes in NYC the other day and it cost me $18! Take someone to the movies in NYC, get some popcorn and a soda and you are talking 80 bucks. Go to a decent restaurant for dinner meal, order a couple of cocktails, and dessert -- you better have $200! Hotels in NYC fuhgeddaboudit! The mayor got rid of Air BnB, so the hotels have taken advantage. White folks storming the capital is not surprising at all -- especially when you consider all the misinformation on the web...

Based upon feedback it looks like it would be best to abandon the proposed boycott of Amazon and redirect the energy to readers to purchase books, written by Back writers, from Black-owned bookstores. I'm joining an effort, started by a booktuber (folks on Youtube who create book review videos), Denise D Cooper. I registered the domain readingblack.com and will point it to this club. I'm seeking feedback on the meme below let me know what you think? This is a play on another meme I saw which used the phrase "Buy local or bye local."

It's not just her muscularity that I PERSONALLY don't find attractive, but her very confident attitude as well. While it's good for most women to be confident to a certain extent; and in older women it seems to be attractive.....again to a CERTAIN EXTENT....it's easy to go overboard with this trait. Like you said, different strokes for different folks. Some brothers LOVE highly confident women. Hell...some dudes like women with hairy legs and baby mustaches too....lol.
