They didn't put Africans on the murals because African's arrival to the U.S. is considered a point of shame, not a point of pride. Africans were forced to come here as slaves. It was not a joyous occasion for them, as it was for the Puritans. We can't erase our slavery past, but we don't have to put it up on murals, either. There are many sad things in our history, the saddest being, imo, the genocide of the Native Americans. C'est la vie.
I am happy you are now a U.S. citizen. Welcome! =)
You're a wonderful speaker and your charisma and intelligence are hard to come by; you're also more open-minded and sensible than a lot of Americans on the whole. Not only are you a great informant, but you're also cute. Let's go for coffee.
Congrats! I found this randomly and I gotta say that I like the way you think & how you express your opinions. I'll be checking out your other videos :)
I'm very happy for you!!!:0)and please keep spreading the truth for those who maybe misinformed or not informed at all.Pretty much keep spreading the truth.
Angry Anti Racist Cynthia Mckinney is really a great person she said both the democratic and republican party failed. Also i believe he said he will support a palestinian state as well. I love your chain Angry very nice chain and you look nice with your haircut.
In regards to what you said about the mural: Why do you think we have Black History Month? If not for that Africans' contributions to this nation would almost completely unchecked outside of the Civil Rights Movement. Ironically, many White Americans despise BHM, but if the contributions of enslaved Africans was included among American History, BHM wouldn't be necessary to begin with.
Welcome back to the 'Tube and congrats on completing your naturalization process. And not a moment too soon! Rock the vote, my friend. (Ugh, did I just type "rock the vote"? Sadly, I did.)
So glad to hear you are now an American citizen. Welcome!

(I'm not saying that having African Americans in this country is shameful! I'm saying the fact that we made slaves out of Africans is shameful!)
