  • we cannot forget the past, but if we are so busy being bitter about it, how can we focus on the future? the problem is human nature. The main reason America today is involved in the middle east and the reason blacks were oppressed and segregation still remains evident. FEAR. Whites feared a shift in power and the idea of social darwinism when there was the Great Migration. The US fears any third world country that is rising in power because the US wants control just like whites did.

  • Very true

  • nice one..

    we cant 4get the past because it runs down our bloodlines..we see black men mad and we ask why..2 tuskeege men injected with diease.

  • I wasn't trying to argue, I was merely stating my opinion on the matter. Anyway, thanks for debating with me. Take care...

  • Thank you

    Lol now i watched all your videos,please upload more!! JazaakAllah Khair :)

  • Thanks bro! that wa very revealing!

  • The uprising of black America is ur greatest nightmare..he killed it :) great job

  • I loved that line too!

  • I absolutely loved your speech, but I must say we cant dwell on slavery because even though it was terrible we must push forward leaving the past in the dust. That sounds heartless but right now we need to concentrate on the future and leave the past where it stands.

  • You know I find it so amazing that young people like yourself say to the elders of our culture to "not dwell on slavery." Let me tell you we can never forget the past, nor do we need to forget the past. Our current standing is still based on the past and our future will never come to fruition if we don't correct the errors of the past. Learn your history and then tell your ancestors and elders to forget the past.

  • First off, I didn't say "forget" I said dwell. Meaning we cannot let it hender us from pushing forward. Also, I am very much aware of my history. So the next time you make a comment on my comment, read closer. Thank you.

  • Forget, dwell, ignore... it's all the same in this arena. We can't help but to push forward through this muck called capitalism. It's good that you are aware of your history, but if being aware means that we shouldn't recognize the enemy for what/who they are; then I want no parts of that. Maybe if we were to receive reparations it would be easier to not "dwell". As it stands, current forms of slavery (mental bondage/ prison-industrial complex) still exists making it harder to not "dwell".

  • Whatever, I dont care to argue with you.

  • Y focus on the future when tomorrow is not promised? The past matters more than the future because the past teaches lessons for the future. If there were no past, then there would be no future. Get a damn clue.

  • THE PLANE TRUTH!!!

  • nice work dude...

  • we need more people like this in the world

  • The day half of the global population will realize the reality of of our Grandparents Adam & Eve, that would be the end of tyrans and cruelity of this planet today.<BR>

  • How long did it take to write that poem because it is very good and effective , you speak as though you are a black person your self

  • Thank you, much Luv, it took about 8 minutes,(almost all my poems take about that much time because I never force myself to write nor to rhyme. If it's not from the heart, then it's not true) Stay up & stay blessed , 3D
