Fake

[thesecretstorm]

@smoke50niggaz This is not fake. Go to the Library of Congress and look up "Voices from the Days of Slavery" and you will find many more former slaves that were recorded.

where is that song from?

[thesecretstorm]

@kelsey9126 The song is a sound effect.

[oloseti]

@kelsey9126 In Pacific ocean ,polyneisia, the Kingdom of Tonga. there is a dance called the Lakalaka. surprised to hear the music used for this vid. guess someone thought the drums sounded like African beats. pure Tongan traditional music.

[thesecretstorm]

@oloseti I did a search for african drum sound effects and the music was listed as african drums.

@thesecretstorm I think you were incredibly patient to credit smoke50niggaz with a response actually. Seeing as smoke50niggaz is clearly a complete twat.

@lincolnsarepublican That was ignorant of you to say. That is all.

@lincolnsarepublican Of course it is whitey's fault LOL. American blacks today like to ACKNOWLEDGE where they come from historically, and if that means being exposed to the fact that whites have enslaved them and ripped them away from their homeland in the past, then so be it. If the shape of negativity in African American culture is not whitey's fault, then whose is it? Nobody is saying that any black person ALIVE was a victim of black slavery, people are saying that PAST blacks were. :D

This is powerful.

@lincolnsarepublican Of course it is whitey's fault LOL. I love how the only people that tell blacks and other racial minorities to "get over" the events of the past are whites (the people that are RESPONSIBLE for those events in the first place). Slavery happened to black people's ancestors: that is the point of this video and others like it; to acknowledge and review history.

[lincolnsarepublican]

If the blacks built the South, thats proof enough slavery doesnt work. I think blacks today want to cling to the slavery thing. Give it up, it didnt happen to anyone alive! Let the barrage of how down trodden you are begin. But I think if you are honest with yourself you know the shape of your culture isnt whiteys fault. Responsibility, learn it, live it love it!!
