    I think they'd be happy to know that their efforts to stop segregation became a reality.

    ABC news, please show this on television all across America, or share/repost on your social platforms PLEASE!!! As a Black American I am ashamed of how the blacks of these generations are regressing and opposing the progress made by our predecessors. This video shows Black Americans (by biblical terms) in all their glory. If Minneapolis was once a beautiful city, just as that city has been ruined and continues to, so are we Black Americans in t process. Show us how we were, how we should be. Let our eyes see this, PLEASE SHARE THIS, WITH A MESSAGE ENCOURAGING IT TO BE SHARED AND GO VIRAL. SAVE US FROM "OURSELVES"

      We didn't as a whole people band together though. It's because of the malpracticed culture our people picked up. We didn't stick together as a people, like for example the Orthodox Community. They're thriving after a Holocaust and our people decided it was acceptable to kill each other instead.

    I know a lot more of that was going on than anything else because the way I see it we are half and half. Half good half evil and a lot of times the evil side stages the very issue that becomes a movement to keep us all apart and believing that we're on separate sides. we're not. It's good against evil no matter what color culture or country we come from we are against evil all the way.

There are also plenty people who said that it was bad so stop trying to act like it wasn’t that bad and that people were overreacting 🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♀️
