Thank you for reviewing these myths. We need to be reminded of our true history.

#3 There was an old saying about the difference between a black who lived in the south as opposed to the north. Blacks in the south could live next to whites, just don't get too big. Blacks who lived in the north, you can get as big as you want, but you can't live too close.😢

[@clifton2478]

So I guess everyone should learn history from this guy. I prefer to learn things from people who know what they are talking about.

Employ the words 'enslaved Africans' rather than 'slave'!

Were you trying to remember Dick Clark.

[@ninadaly7639]

How then do you explain black slave owners in America?

[@harrietjohnson1930]

Ummmm, if they weren’t buying their loved ones to FREE them, then they were caught up in the nightmare of exploitation and supremacy-that is capitalism.

[@ninadaly7639]

This man needs to go back and study history from the beginning. He is clueless.

If any could help me add to my better understanding of the slave trade in the US, i would greatly appreciate any and all help, especially at which point the country truly, from my standpoint, ended profiting from the sale of human beings. Specifically, when did the morally reprehensible and repugnant theft of the Haitien people's national wealth by France and the USA finally come to an end? A true end to our slave economy was when the last Hatien payment was extorted, in my opinion and I think it no exaggeration to add it is a fact. Thing is, damn if I can recall the day or relative date that ended our part in extortion of Haiti's national wealth and hope someone reading this might know. Thanks for considering it, my eternal gratitude for the answer if known. Meanwhile, Mr. Harriot is to US history what Michael Jordan was to getting air in the game of basketball. In short: a singularity. Plus great wit! ❤

The Deacons of Defense were a group of Black Men who were former veterans from WW2 and the Korean WAR that believed in armed defense. They were from Louisiana and would provide security in the 1960’s for Martin and other Black people when the KKK or other racists groups would threaten Black folks.

At the beginning of America, you left out the ATTEMPT TO ENSLAVE THE INDIGENOUS PPL.

[@AntoinetteMPetty]

Tell a lie long enough. It will become truth.... 😮

[@Sauveguy]

The Jamestown settlers were faced with extreme starvation and yes some did resort to cannibalism to survive. As has others throughout the millenia! So just calling them cannables without the context of their circumstances is SHAMEFUL!

[@anthonyhornbuckle8231]

What's funny is everything that we talked about they are watching and commenting

[@KennethBowman-sg5gv]

Dick Clark

[@arlenaholmes]

WOW!!!!!!

[@HappilyGoing]

Thank you for your irreverent research, Dr Harriott! I want to learn more.

[@robertholmes12]

Here is the biggest myth taught in every education institution in America: US slavery was a brutal and savage practice that subjugated black people. How do I KNOW this? Because I asked the slaves themselves; the people who lived through it. There was a historian named Alan Lomax who travelled through the South and he captured the rural culture and history of the region during the Great Depression. He was sent by the Roosevelt Administration to film, record and interview black and white Southerners about their lives in the South. He interviewed them about the Civil War, slavery, recorded their music, among many other things. Most slaves DID NOT attest to the 'Roots' version of slavery in which black people were dehumanized and horribly abused. When is theGrio going to listen to the voices of their ancestors? When is theGrio going to listen to the voices of the marginalized? When is theGrio going to listen to the slaves who "built this country"?
