PSA 8 Robert Smalls

What is the specific reason you are no longer slaves? Abe Lincoln? Guess again. General Grant? Guess again. The union army? Sort of. Robert Smalls...and his wife? Robert who? Hell yeah. The first black congressman in history.

This comment is a slight to no one. My aim in this video was to point out the contributions of some of our people to show that brothers need sisters and vice versa. It is merely illustrative of the things we can accomplish as a unified force as opposed to sexism among the mistreated descendants of the stolen and abused Africans.

Trust me, I know we are not free. Check my other psa's and I specifically mention that. we are not free. But i do wish we could unite instead of focusing on differences.

the only black people that that took there freedom were the haitian people but to sante thought that he could be civil with the cracker so the sellout Negro's took back power and sold the souls of there people back to master and the maroons of Jamaica got free but they sign a treaty with the whit devil to return other blacks that escaped just to keep there freedom and to day there not free cause they sold out.hotep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some are under the impression that freedom is measured by what is no longer required to live. Freedom, however, is a requirement to live.

The Haitians they are not allowed to come to this country because they violently ran the french feces off their land. We will not be free until we leave this place or establish our OWN homeland in this country. One is feasible and one is not. I actually prefer violent revolution, but that is a far off prospect. Education and trust is key to unity. peace fam!

Also, freedom is not measured by the cotton we are not picking. It is measured by nationalism. No compromise. No negotiations. Just US! Our demands must be specific, measured, carried out and adhered to. Our women must be respected. Our men must be released from their concentration camps. Our children must be schooled, medicated, schooled, trained and loved by US.

Peace family.

Hi, thanks for posting . I may have misunderstood the beginning, but the boat's owner was not Smalls' slaveowner, Henry McKee. What blows me away, however, is that Smalls -- illiterate until adulthood -- became a state and five-term US congressman, passing the bill that established the first public school (open to black children too) in the country. He also became very wealthy, bought the house where he'd been born, and took care of the destitute Mrs. McKee for the rest of her life. What a guy!

Thanks Bro.

Many steps are involved in such an endeavor. Finances must be in order. Doctors and other medical staff will be necessary. Teachers, books, building materials and an abundance of other necessities must be readily available. Seeds for crops. Live stock. But one key element must be addressed: Unity. Without it such a plan is a waste of breath. Aside from that, it is at least a century away. We must deal with now and plan for the future. Even nomads have plans and unity. We have neither. Peace fam

My bad family. I still got tears in my eyes over this question. Just can't stop laughing. Freedom? You serious? These fools think they are free. Freedom occurs with nationalism. No nationalism=no freedom!

Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude! remember that?
