Regarding cycles of poverty and related issues, I’ve heard that the poverty rate is only 5% for people who:
avoid out of wedlock teen pregnancy
graduate from high school
stay out of trouble with the law
are in stable marriages
And the above is true for people of any race or background.
The idea that ghetto blacks are suffering the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow is laughable, but, a big number of liberals and Al Sharpton/Jessie Jackson types push that false narrative.
Gates, where have I heard that name before?????????
Ahhhhh Yes Now I remember, He is the guy who got Obama to say the police acted badly when they arrested his racist ass./ Or is that another Henry gates.
It is impossible to tell the truth of slavery in this country. Look at the last attempt ROOTS, it was all all a lie, he lost his lawsuits and in the fullness of time was a proven liar.
500 years ago. That would be in 1513. There were no Africans in Colonial America in 1513. There was no Colonial America in 1513. So whose Slave story is 500 years old?
I’ll take a miss on having more “noble blacks, blame YT” stuffed down my throat.
Is that Prof. Gates, that smooth-talking but self-inflated egotistical black elitist A-hole from Harvard? I won’t be watching.
Not to defend any practices during slavery, but sometimes the BS just gets a little too thick. How did anyone deprive slaves of their last names? The slaves knew what their names were when they arrived in the Americas and only five or six generations lived before they were freed in most cases.
It's hard to believe that last names could not be passed down orally over a few, or even many generations among people who relied on oral history since they had not developed written language.
Sometimes the stories told to make some historical points just don't make sense.
When’s somebody going to make a movie called “what actually happened” starring the Spainards?
If Cal Thomas’ impression of this series is correct, it should be required viewing in every school. It is time to tell the Americans of slave-heritage that they should respect the strength and fortitude of their ancestors, and honor them by making their own lives as productive as possible in this new century.
For that matter, during the Civil War, they were permitted to hunt and kill Yankee soldiers of any stripe, not just runaway slaves who joined up. (Sheesh!)
“America probably would not have a culture if it weren’t for black people,” says one interviewee.”
It takes a pretty messed up mind to come up with a thought like that.
I won’t watch anything attached to this jerk.
This is the same guy who got a Boston cop into trouble when he was drunk & couldn’t open his own front door. When vigilant neighbors called cops, he got very nasty & aggressive with everyone who responded.
This ended up with the ‘Spite House Rose Garden BEER SUMMIT.
HLG, Jr. is on some commercial...I will NOT be buying that product.....no matter what.
