One of the best educators we've got. Really valuable analysis.

[@panblacksolutions]

Dr. Horne is probably the most important mind for the Black leftist community. He has the most indepth analysis of our collective history and condition. We would be wise to take his analysis and use it to create alternatives.

This was a great discussion, Dr. Gerald Horne always speaking truth to power.

Now videos like this is what makes Sam Harris' blood boil, as well as AiU and the rest of the "skeptic" community.

[@kizzume]

"Skeptic" community indeed.

_“…videos like this is what makes Sam Harris' blood boil…”_ -Why?

I like the speaker but he is way off the mark about Britain pressuring the America to end slavery. The British government supported the confederacy so that the U.S. would be weakened so its interest free money system could be brought back under private central bank control

She said I was egregiously violating my lease while all violations were misunderstandings.

If all of this is true, why do they act the way they do when conflict comes up.

In Hamilton's Federalist Paper #16, he eases the ruling class' worries that extending certain civil liberties to the common people might cause them to find common cause with other oppressed groups (immigrants, Indians, Africans) and that the populace might then revolt against the status quo, by assuring them that by simply continually promoting "sectionalism" the people would thus never get beyond in-fighting - today, it's called "purity politics:. To quote Fred Hampton: "We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity. We say you don't fight capitalism with no black capitalism, you fight capitalism with socialism."

[@profm4601]

Well If our, mine, us, and we. Lives don't matter then no ones life matter. Black is Black and Black was and always will be FIRST. And the spirit of the lord moved upon the waters of the deep. Then came these words, LET THERE BE LIGHT. Black is Black and will always be first.

[@doktormcnasty]

Well that certainly ended abruptly, didn't it?

Many of The Black Panther's were international too..that's why I believe in some instances, they went a step further than MLK & Malcolm X..although Malcolm X met wit' Castro & changed his name to El Hajj Malik Shabazz when he seen White Muslim's in Mecca who were prolly' from Russia or The former Soviet Union as they have a large Muslim population

The Portuguese tried launching slave raids on the coasts West Africa in the 1440s and 1450s but the armies and navies of the indigenous African kingdoms and empires basically massacred the Portuguese slavers. The Portuguese lost so many slavers and ships that they had to resort to peaceful trade and sent and envoy to establish peace with the indigenous Africans. Unfortunately the Africans settled for peace instead of completely wiping out the Portuguese presence from West Africa.

[@markdavids2511]

Reezy37 The Portuguese were the most successful slave traders in the world, where do you think all those blacks in Brazil came from?, get an education

[@YouTubecanfuckagoat]

Reezy37 Nice story, tell it again See if it rings any truer.. Nope, still bullshit. The Portuguese were one of the most successful at buying blacks for a handful of beads, from other blacks. But you keep telling yo self that African blacks were capable of fighting off the Portuguese, when you still hadn’t invented the fucking wheel.

[@keonnaofficial]

I don't believe anything they have to say.

[@keonnaofficial]

And they lie about it all day.

According to the Bible black lives do matter.... In the book of Isaiah 43: 3, & 4... Says, I am the Lord your GOD. The Holy One of Israel, the GOD who saves you. I gave up Egypt, Ethiopia, and the region of Seba, in exchange for you. To me you are very dear. And I love you.
