The Conservative Roots of #BlackHistoryMonth

"Arguably one of the cleverest artifices of white supremacy is the thorough scrubbing out of African civilization and human existence before contact with Europeans."

— Dr. Chidike Okeem

(@VOICEOFCHID)

"When oppression and subjugation are falsely presented as the genesis of black human identity, it provides a pseudo-intellectual justification for the marginalization of black people both on the African continent and in the diaspora."

"Moreover, it provides a justification for self-hatred among black people who are not taught any better."

"For serious, solution-oriented black conservatives today, Dr. Carter G. Woodson provided a model of how one can be enthusiastically pro-market, doggedly anti-Marxist economics, and do so while being unapologetically African."

— Chidike Okeem

Don't let White Nationalist lie to you: Dr. Carter G. Woodson labored his entire life to legitimize and “emphasize NOT Negro history, but the Negro IN history.”

#WhiteNationalism is an abomination.

It was a movement so BARBARIC and DISSIMILAR in world history, that men had to find a new word to describe its satanic conduct.

The word that was settled upon' #Genocide

The #ArmenianGenocide started in 1915

The Holocaust 1941 and 1945.

But, before those two genocides trsanspired, one happened in Africa: "It took place between 1904 and 1908"

Filibuster is a perilous wedge lodged in the heart of our politics

"How could a country [Germany] so highly developed, cultured, and educated descend from a functioning democracy to a full-blown dictatorship in just a few years?"
bostonglobe.com/2021/10/30/opi… via @BostonGlobe

Is the Filibuster Just?

Does the Filibuster expand liberty or will it take it away?

The AFRICAN father of WESTERN theology whispering to another AFRICAN.

“Lex iniusta non est lex"

'An UNJUST law, is NO LAW AT ALL.’

You have to make the MORAL case against the filibuster -- not the procedural problems with it.

"Before Central Park was built, New York’s first free Black Community, #SenecaVillage, was torn down to make room for it. This is a topic often left out of history."
