[langstonify]

Thanks.

[nattynat101]

Thanks much for this video. It was amazing and so informative!

[TheTemplarnight]

what was that tiny bit of song at the end?

[BashuUp]

January 1865. What ?didn't the congress have a calender? O everything was done by the moon phases.Or was it one day in the month of January - of no particular interest, when everybody was casually doing everyday slaving . Congress decides -lets talk about slavery. Then a few years later they are reminded of the 13th amendment. They reply "oh yeah , that was passed in January 1865-cant remember the day though??"

[UtopiaMinor666]

I just have to say this. Now i know we (black people) really invented and put soul into gospel, but this is praise for an oppressive God, one that replaced our lost heritage with a new seemingly innocuous God, that turns out to have admissions of slavery in its holy books. Its one of many reasons im an atheist. I would never tell ppl not to believe, but if your going to study slavery, you cannot forget this bit of information. otherwise, nice video.

[TheKsplosion]

great video, it helped me in school.

[dirtyedna]

[caribbeandiaspora]

The rise of African American literature? Most of the writers were Caribbeans. The Jamaican Claude McKay is widely credited as the first to write anything of substance during the Harlem Renaissance. Please research this and you will know I am 100% right. They Caribbean was already liberated and they turn up to help defend black Americans. Unfortunately we never get the just credit due.

[prodigychild1988]

@caribbeandiaspora Firstly, that's not entirely true that *most* were Caribbean. Secondly, Caribbean blacks and American blacks are the same thing; slaves brought over from Africa to work. It's just that some ended up in the States, some the Carribbean, some South America. To imply that we are so different is just silly. They knew that, then, that is why they all worked together. Stop acting as if we're different; we are the same. Research "African Diaspora". Thanks, blessings.

[busessuck1]

well made but messy video, I think you use too much pick and mixing including random (a few good) songs, a bit of poorly written poetry about the blues (little to do with harlem), no renaissance canvas art, moving footage of jazz or theatre performances

[jor99912]

The "TRUTH" in BELAIR Texas is so prevalent!

A Racist Coward" with Badge & Guns,

Sees a Black slouette in a car!

Follows & Attempts to murder occupants!

MOTIVATION:  The fact that he can simply purposely Radio in a License Discrepancy,Then proceed to Attack & Terrorize Black citizens.

INSPIRATION: If he had to stop them, Ask for paper & I Ds Treat them Civilly,He would have continued on to the White Castle.

ENCOURAGEMENT:

The Whole DEPT must Join His "LIES".

Racist MAYOR, & Administration.

[jor99912]

Al Sharpton has a Full Plate!

He shouldn't worry about Gilbert Arenas, L Ts , Plaxicos hurting themselves!

REVOLUTIONARY WAR, SPANISH AMERICAN, CIVIL WAR, WW1, KOREAN & WW2 & VIETNAM.

Minorities were given some relief during war time!

But with No Soviet, and No Nazi Threats means returing to racist regressions!

[jor99912]

Just saw on Bryant Gumble's HBO Real Sports where the Texas Cop who shot the Baseball player in the back Got Off!

I believe he deliberately called in a erroneous License plate number, so that he could assault them! It's obvious from his attack on the Parents, that he was not confused as they claim. This was a Deliberate Planned Assault!

That's why he wouldn't wait for Backup!

Because by then they would be in the house & he might have to treat them Civilly, instead of attacking with guns.

[jor99912]

As one studies modern History, You will find that Germany's contribution to saving Africa' actually began before Hitler was in Knee Britches!

When Britain & America invented the Full Machine Gun, not Gatlin!

They were slaughtering Africans in the millions!

Germany Armed, Trained & Sustained Africans up to WW1.

And then, after WW2, the USSR stepped in.

This time with Intentions for Africans!

They invested Billions in Armament.

To prevent Africa from becoming the west's WW3, launch pad.

[jor99912]

NAACP failed to get behind BILL COSBY!

But got Behind, MICHAEL ERIC DYSON!

Al Sharpton called for the ROPE, for, GILBERT ARENAS!

They don't, never, needed ,our "HELP" to do that!

He was destined to get his Due" And "Then Some!

Who saved the Alabama, SCOTTSBORO BOYS?

THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST WORKERS ? NAACP? THE SUPREME COURT?

Looking at TIMINGS, EVENTS, , & HAPPENSTANCES one would have to Say"

ADOLF HITLER" "Saved the "SCOTTSBORO BOYS!

[jor99912]

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES just purchased 30" NEW Boeing 777s.

Whole continent of Africa, Reverted from Europeans to Indigenous Africans from 1950s to the yr 2000.

Circumstances usually requiring "CATACLYSMIC" events, to Happen!

Without Hitler Neither, would ever" Have Happened!

ARABS would be as wealthy as the PLO!

And AFRICANS,as rich as the Native Americans!

[jor99912]

Scientific thinking reveals the TRUTH!

And  Hypothetically, If Africa had fallen,encouragement and momentum would have inspired them in KOREA, VIETNAM & CHINA.

No more SAVE THE WHALES!

They're GONE" with the NATIVE AMERICANS, BISON, AFRICANS, ELEPHANTS LION, SHARK,

SAUDIS would not Own Their Oil FIELDS.

HITLER SAVED THE PLANET for a while!

[jor99912]

Yall need to Think" lol!

I knew nothing, nor mentioned Master Hitler's intentions!

I looked at America, South AmericIa, Canada.

Then I looked at Africa, it's Geographical Location!

Closer to Europe, Carved up like a EUROPEAN CHRISTMAS TURKEY!

Yet It survived while others perished!

I said what happened!

Our history books are the same as if Hitler had written his own history.

So I looked at Times and Consequences.

And I surmised WW-2 GAVE Africans a 2nd chance to Arms!

[jor99912]

COMMENTS, REMOVED, COMMENTS, REMOVED! That's the way BET's Bob Johnson did it!

Censor, Remove TAVIS SMILEY or anyone one who dares speak relevantly or truthfully.

And I did hear one other person besides myself speak on Hitler saving Africa!

KWAME TOURE, (STOKELEY CARMICHAEL

[sugafoot777]

@jor99912 The notes on the video say "created by ROB Johnson"--LOL y'all need to chill LOL. BTW--Hitler wanted to save Africa to utilize its resources, not to save its people. He always admired the US for "it's treatment of the subhuman Negro" but he did admit that we (black people) built the very civilizations that he felt the "Aryanas" deserved.

[jor99912]

Kind of late for Bob Johnson to be doing something BLACK".

If you're talking BET's BLACK ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK R Johnson!

As a thinker I saw, will never read it HITLER, save AFRICA!

And then I Lived to see BOB JOHNSON destroy Soul!

Ignore BILL COSBY (naacp) Listen to MICHAEL ERIC DYSON!

Chitling eating preacher, & Prof of URBAN ERGO EUBONICS.

Accept LEBRON JAMES, Pants on the Ground, just us Eubonics!

Culture destroyed, You can't run businesses without TRUST.

Trillions lost to foreigners.

[LuckyStarr22]

Hi, can you please check out my very 1st poetry video called "creativity & dignity"? I left a link so you can stop by. Thanks so much!!!

[caribbeandiaspora]

Please note my comment is not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. We as Caribbeans have a need to educate our people of their history and accomplishments and it is fascist for anyone to try to deny a people of their history and accommplishments. This is why we are telling our people the most accomplished writers and intellectuals in Harlem were Caribbean addressing Caribbean struggles at home and abroad while helling black America achieve social justice.
