hiddenblackhistory how hidden is it,i apologize for obliterating your misguided admiration of crispus with a few well presented concise auguments to the contrary,so much u neglected to touch on why the history writers relegate n.turner&john brown as criminals in the course of history,but prompt u to pay homage to aman who spilled his blood 4 his enemies freedom,when his people freedom was 2 to 3 hundred yrs away,bravery and stupidity are oft confused,remembr j.brwn was white &foundnfathers blah

@SUPERSTEVEHORTON as in 'how hidden is it?' i have up to two years of college and was never heard of him until by accident online. also there was a documentry called 'america the story of us' where they called him 'an african american who was shot in the crowd.' i address this in my video 'iconoclasm.' now you claim he spilled his blood for the enemies which in part is true but you must also remember the man was working within the system of white supremacy that you and i will never know.

this isnt shit to be proud of,crispus was meddling in business that wasnt of interest to his people,he should have took a page out of the white people book,lay back and let them kill each other and periodically do shit to instigate while trying to play both side against each other to look out for the best interest of his own people,we need to stop letting simple propaganda techniques pick our heroes,nat turner&john brown should have statues but we at the behest of our puppetrs judge thm killers

@SUPERSTEVEHORTON at the end of the day he was fighting for freedom

I learned about Crispus Attucks in Jr. HS. I guess those were the days when one could still get a decent education in the New York City public schools. History is complex, and I can see no reason to have such disdain for Crispus Attucks. If Black history is to be told, it must reveal the full spectrum. Heroes, villains,scoundrels,visionarie­s, artists, statesmen, and cowards. All the foibles

like the rest of humanity.

He was nayive american and african american like me!!

[SUPERSTEVEHORTON]

shuwa i dont know why you got lost,just consider how the u.s,instigated the iran iraq conflict and aided both sides only enough to keep the war at a standstill because both were enimies,had one been an ally they would have gave decisive help,consider cointelpro operations against the panthers&sncc were they instigated fueds between the groups,when two of you enemies or at conflict let them eliminate one another!

@SUPERSTEVEHORTON ..I AGREE WITH THE FIRST PART...YOU LOST ME AFTER "PERIODICALLY"

[shuvva]

[SUPERSTEVEHORTON]

but to be fair to crispus ,i have say this,im at home in a comfortable chair in front of a dell computer,basically armchairing a conflict that happened centuries ago,for all we know he could have (thought)he was fighting for his freedom,dont forget how many treaties and agreements the indians came up on the short end of the stick on,so he got my respect but dont tell me nat,s a thug when you give a genocidal maniac like columbus a holiday,yeah casimer pulaski too,do some reseach,indians people 2
