This is what's so cool about the world. When you know your history, nobody can take. What's in your head, my great-grandmother? My grandmother and my auntswer to say all the time. Get an brought in your mind. Because what you put into your head take. It can take you straight To The Moon & Back. While it took Barack Obama to the President. It took African Americans to make to cities grow. They had the people of color have unique places to go music to listen to. And that's why I think a lot of white folks is angry. They didn't have the same things, some southerners. It's a maybe New Orleans, but I'm most the most some. But not a lot, we had our own way of talking to home where it walked in my own way, addressing that was sharp as attack. Cause my grandmother and my aunt's I mean, when they got dressed up and put on their hats. There was nobody that looked as beautiful and as nice as they did. That loves when we walk on the side of God. When we care about God and hes in our hearts and life. No man can bring us down for a little while😊

The entire area from New Orleans up the Mississippi to St.Louis, Chicago and Detroit was ALL "New France" back then. (like "New England" to the east.) So everyone Black or white was French.

He was not "mixed" that has never been mentioned, stop spreading misinformation.

I’m yearning to be connected to history as a young black male…I’m hurting by the disruption of our history
