Musicball,

You are quiet welcome. The book entitled "Lay This Body Down" a shocking and chilling description. I am still on the journey of educating all people on the untold truth about slavery. The hidden truth that many people do not want to believe. Thank you for your support. Please pass the youtube to others.

the emancipation proclimation didnt apply to Louisiana cause it was under federal martial law. the emancipation procliamtion only applied to "sites of rebellion" and western territories. slavery was left legal in many states like New Jersey, West Varginia, Deleware, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas. These states later outlawed it on their own.

the emancipation proclimation was nothing but a tool of war to lincoln. in reality he hated black folks and wanted to send us all to Liberia.

We will never forget the Mohawk tracking us down and killing us when we escaped. First of all the people who hunted down the Indians were in the army and not only did they hunt indians they hunted Black people who were apart of the indian family, the army were working under orders but bottom line they killed Africans in that battle also.

@TheRachelabrown91Moot point. Suffering is suffering and doesn't need to happen regardless of what happened to some other group on some other continent. The difference between Jews and blacks is, blacks are still being oppressed today STUPID. Also keep in mind it's hard to single out people who look the same as you. For example if I just decided to go on a rampage and kill all the Kenyans in this country I might actually be killing some people from Ghana, Cuba,the DR, Haiti...Get me?

oh my i heard this and had to go and visit the website to see if there is more information on this, it is unbelievable how we could treat people this way and go on about our lives as if this is what they deserve. how dare we look upon another brother and think we can threat to beat, rape or torture a person in to being obedient servants. doesn't the law mean anything or is it for the weak,dumb, and etc..

We are all the same.

Black, white, pink, green, red, or neon color.

We bleed the same color.

We feel.

We breed.

We are men and women.

Yes, we are the same.

[stothaz]

exactly why you will not catch me out in bumblebruck....or wasting energy in a capitalist african american 'studies' class. though I appreciate the research and review, all of that is not for me.  keeping my mind & body free. slavery exists in many forms and it is a daily struggle not to succumb and fall victim.
