Rare video 📹: Black Wall Street. #BlackWallStreet #BlackHistoryMonth

#BlackWallStreet is a very serious reminder of the dissimilar history African American businesses had to endure, endured, things, that most of "The Newly Arrived" would've never survived. And, despite our history: Today, they ask "Why can't you just be like the good Asians".

You could have built to the moon 🌚 and watch it all disappear, all in one night, all in one night! The legal beneficiaries of our pain, being falsely compared to us. Centuries of working for free; due to slavery,

And, now, this. After all that — and we were supposedly "free".

#BlackWallStreet is kind of a subtle reminder of the precarious nature of black-owned businesses in a satanic, white-supremacist society. You, watch it all disappear in one night! All, because some idiot (neighbor) hates your skin-color.

White Supremacists have burned your #BlackBusiness down.

So, what are you gonna do?

You bring your grievance to local politicians.

And, they, say, "Oh! Well, Mr. Negro, that is most unfortunate. But, we can’t do nothin 'bout that— we need those same racist votes!"

You do the good American thing! Do what The Constitution suggest that you do: You petition “the Government for a redress of grievances”.

But, that same government says, "I am sorry, Mr. Negro. It's a very complicated matter. States have “rights” that Government can’t tread on!"

"Things don't change,.
WE CHANGE."

"It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all."

— Saint Augustine

Lex iniusta non est lex (English: An unjust law is no law at all), is a standard legal maxim.

“Originating with St. Augustine (an African), the motto was quoted by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement to describe racial segregation.”

“Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.”

— Edmund Burke

Neither, in my opinion, is safe.

— Edmund Burke

Ubi Jus Ibi Remedium

The American people have this lesson to learn, that where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails,

... and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property would be safe.” . . .

"Communism robs the individual of his personal initiative and ambition or the result thereof" -- Marcus Garvey #BlackLivesMatter #tcot

"Historian Harold Cruse calls Garvey's movement "the biggest stumbling block to Communist penetration into Negro life." And adds that this was "a fact that the Communists never forgot.""

— Elizabeth Wright

"Although liberal black nationalists have incorporated his Pan-African perspective into their philosophy, they have willfully neglected the fact that Mr. Garvey – who was an admirer of Booker T. Washington – was a staunch capitalist."

-- Shay Riley

"No group worked harder to recruit American blacks than the Communist Party. Throughout the 1920s, the Communists did all they could to capture Garvey disciples and undermine his influence."

— Elizabeth Wright

Marcus Garvey: ‘Look for me in the whirlwind’, – (circa) 1924

"Rise up Black Men, and take your stand. Reach up black men and women and pull all nature’s knowledge to you. Turn ye around and make a conquest of everything North and South, East and West."

'Our leaders say the race problem will be solved thru higher education. Thru better education, black and white will come together, that day will never happen until Africa is redeemed. Cause if those who like W.E.B Dubois believe that the ...

... race problem will be solved in America thru higher education, they will work between now and eternity and never see the problem solved."
