  • Forsyth County, Georgia, was home to over a thousand Black residents in the early 20th century, including some who owned hundreds of acres of land. The death of a White teenager and the lynching of a Black man upended the community, causing ripple effects that people are still reckoning with today.

      Words that I have spoken again and again!! People don't know the true history of this country with regard to Native Americans and African Americans!! These stories and the truth need to be taught to all! The GOP's are stopping this and want their followers in a hate mode, so that they don't think logically (and see the truth). The hate has to stop and the only way to do that is through education and the truth!!

      Frank Zappa - Trouble Everyday (lyrics)
      Well I'm about to get sick
      From watchin' my tv
      Been checkin' out the news
      Until my eyeballs fail to see
      I mean to say that every day
      Is just another rotten mess
      And when it's gonna change, my friend
      Is anybody's guess
      *Chorus*
      So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
      Hopin' for the best
      Even think I'll go to prayin'
      Every time I hear 'em sayin'
      That there's no way to delay
      That trouble comin' every day
      No way to delay
      That trouble comin' every day
      Wednesday I watched the riot. ..
      Seen the cops out on the street
      Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff
      And chokin' in the heat
      Listened to reports
      About the whisky passin' 'round
      Seen the smoke and fire
      And the market burnin' down
      Watched while everybody
      On his street would take a turn
      To stomp and smash and bash and crash
      And slash and bust and burn
      *chorus*
      Well, you can cool it,
      You can heat it. ..
      'Cause, baby, I don't need it. ..
      Take your tv tube and eat it
      'n all that phony stuff on sports
      'n all the unconfirmed reports
      You know I watched that rotten box
      Until my head begin to hurt
      From checkin' out the way
      The newsman say they get the dirt
      Before the guys on channel so-and-so
      And further they assert
      That any show they'll interrupt
      To bring you news if it comes up
      They say that if the place blows up
      They will be the first to tell,
      Because the boys they got downtown
      Are workin' hard and doin' swell,
      And if anybody gets the news
      Before it hits the street,
      They say that no one blabs it faster
      Their coverage can't be beat
      And if another woman driver
      Gets machine-gunned from her seat
      They'll send some joker with a brownie
      And you'll see it all complete
      *Chorus*
      *Hey, you know something people? I'm not black, but there's a whole lots a times
      I wish I could say I'm not white*
      Well, I seen the fires burnin'
      And the local people turnin'
      On the merchants and the shops
      Who used to sell their brooms and mops
      And every other household item
      Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em
      And they say it served 'em right
      Because a few of them are white,
      And it's the same across the nation
      Black and white discrimination
      Yellin' "You can't understand me!"
      'n all that other jazz they hand me
      In the papers and tv and
      All that mass stupidity
      That seems to grow more every day
      Each time you hear some nitwit say
      He wants to go and do you in
      Because the color of your skin
      Just don't appeal to him
      (No matter if it's black or white)
      Because he's out for blood tonight
      You know we got to sit around at home
      And watch this thing begin
      But I bet there won't be many live
      To see it really end
      'Cause the fire in the street
      Ain't like the fire in the heart
      And in the eyes of all these people
      Don't you know that this could start
      On any street in any town
      In any state if any clown
      Decides that now's the time to fight
      For some ideal he thinks is right
      And if a million more agree
      There ain't no Great Society
      As it applies to you and me
      Our country isn't free
      And the law refuses to see
      If all that you can ever be
      Is just a lousy janitor
      Unless your uncle owns a store
      You know that five in every four
      Just won't amount to nothin' more

    There should be a federal program. If someone can prove they’re a descendant of someone who’s property was destroyed or by racist policies or crimes, the land should be given back to them. If that’s not possible, they should be compensated for the value of the land & business/ home. If descendants can’t be traced, the property should be converted to some type of community use. Maybe something similar has been done in another country & we could glean ideas from that. These things may seem like they’re in the past, to outside observers, but to affected families & communities, the results of such trauma & theft don’t stay neatly buried in the past. They reverberate.

      You'll learn, for one thing, that most every person of every race was enslaved in some way until the past few hundred years at most. Unless you can trace your lineage through unbroken nobility (although often titles and wealth were lost there too due to politics and circumstance), YOUR ancestors were slaves, indentured servants, serfs, share croppers, etc. And unless you are worth millions today, independently wealthy, unless you don't have to work to survive, you are still a wage-slave.
      Also, of course, all people's have revolted and had vast and sophisticated empires. Throughout history, the 85%+ of the world that is not white (and that's even counting "not really white" people like those who live in the Mediterranean area) ruled and had to most advanced civilizations (especially in N. Africa and the near, far, and middle East and also S. America).

At this point, the country has moved beyond these problems being linked to anything civil. The police videos that are in circulation right now prove this is absolutely a violation of human rights 100%. It is depraved to be fair. Nobody asks to be born. All our children are beautiful. And it has to be said, white Americans are a tad backward when it comes to going forward, truly! Look around, the whole world stands by black Americans. My daughters beautiful best friend is black. As a mother, I would give my life for that child no question! Nobody has the right to harm her, nor be hateful in their speech. She is an innocent.

Denying it just delays the process and causes further conflict. Use the example of Armenia and Turkey. They’re still at each other’s throats for Turkey’s failure to acknowledge what happened. Finally, if you truly believe that America is so weak that it cannot handle an honest look at its own past, then frankly, you don’t have a very high opinion of America and I question your patriotism.

    Sad story which contributed in part to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. That movement lead to the creation of the Great Society welfare state. The welfare state led to the destruction of the nuclear family of poor black and other communities. This lead to millions of children being brought up in one parent families without the ability to offer proper direction. Drugs and gangs followed. This coupled with the lack of school choice to properly educate their children has led to their inability to prosper in the economy. This is the issue that needs to be addressed, solutions will be hard and complicated. Continuing to spread sensationalized fomenting divisive rhetoric is counterproductive. Is especially sad when it's done for money. Listen to the Project Veritas tapes and how CNN intentionally manipulates the news and misleads it's viewers for money. My opinion
