#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."

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."
"I maintain that Malcolm X was, for much of his public life, a black conservative."
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Atlantic
The Black Conservative Connection
The Connection: Malcolm X’s father was a Garveyite, and Marcus Garvey was inspired and informed by the teachings of Booker T. Washington!
"Errol returned to South Africa with a half-share in a Zambian emerald mine, which would help to fund his family's lavish lifestyle of yachts, skiing holidays, and expensive computers."
@CultExpert This relationship between former cult members and the Evangelicals who deprogram them + their ties to the Republican party is a fascinating recurring theme.
@CultExpert When one considers these conservative "purity test" it all make more sense. The pledging of loyalty to a set of bizarre, evolving, principles. And, if you don't adhere to them; well, you're thrown out of the group — you’re just a RINO.
The Black Conservative: A black conservative journalist responds to David Horowitz's article, "Ten Reasons Why #Reparations for #Slavery is a Bad Idea and Racist Too".
"Why y'all Blacks complaining 'bout slavery, now? The cotton has been picked and sold, we got iPhones now, and economies running on full speed; y'all should've asked for reparations - during slavey -- or at least during Jim Crow?"
A Black Libertarian view on reparations for centuries of slavery -- free labor
The Case Against Reparations
"America owes black people more than it has given—but reparations aren’t the answer."
“If race disappears as a category of official division, as it has in most of the world, this will facilitate the emergence of a plural racial order where the groups exist in practice but are not official recognized - and anyone ....
... and anyone trying to address racial division is likely to be chided for racializing the population.”
— Professor Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Racism without Racists: #ColorBlindRacism
The ironic and inevitable consequence: Racial and Ethnic Violence. Those dissimilar identities that predate Nationalism will not bend a knee. They will refuse to be nationalized, de-negrofied, Putinized.
"Communism, socialism and Marxism are all ALIEN ideologies and can NEVER be defended by African tradition."
-- George Ayittey, Ghanaian economist
The Trotskys aggressively courted African leaders and stole resources to force and encourage their non- African, European, worldview on Africa — Marxism.
