      @Cescabell, yes read what Lord Jesus said about people who undergo long suffering. "....Bless are those who are meek and the poor for theirs shall inherit the Heaven and the Earth..., my people shall Overcome suffering...." and they'll become strong - like the palm tree which leaves grow towards the heaven yet strong and not easily to fall. In Biology scientific study concerning gene. The dominant gene when comes to color black, brown, purple, red, are the dominant colour. Try to do painting and mix the lighter paint and the dark paint. Make experiment and see. God Bless you my deer.

    I am White..born in 1959..My best friend in 2nd grade was black..we made friends on our school bus and it upset some white kids and I remember getting so upset at such a young age and even mad at some of my family members...it didn't make any sense that my friend couldn't spend the night with me or couldn't even come over to play with me...I wish I knew her today! I am so ashamed of how my own color acted then and even more so today that it is still on going!I know that there are many that feel as I do now...Thank you for this video..

      Don't kid yourself Jimmie Lee. America is GREAT now, and as a matter of fact it has always been great! The reason why is because America's greatness, is simply it's "Ideal." It's what we strive for. It's constitutional foundation provides a genuine basis for all of it's people to strive for. I could go on here with a litany of whys and wherefores about why we are, and always have been Great! But, suffice it to say, that those echoing the "Make America Great Again," slogan, are really saying, lets go back to before civil rights amendments, voting rights bills, and other attempts to legitimize other people. Lets go back to a time when it was clear that being a white person meant you were recognized as having special privileges, such as sitting in the front of the bus, or drinking from designated fountains, etc. Those days are really gone and never coming back. No matter how loud the separatist scream, or how many capitals they attempt to take over, or how many citizens they deny the vote, those days are gone! The fact that America, is great, and always has been great, allowed those treasonous terrorist to express themselves, instead of slaughtering them in the streets like it was in the "Great Again" days. Now hopefully, this Great America will execute the laws of this "Great America," and lock their as___ up. That will further show them, America is Great!

Perhaps some people do not like him because he was supportive toward Israel and Jerusalem. He also refused a salary as President and worked for free and he refused any Presidential retirement money. A racist person does not generally marry someone who obviously has a foreign accent. But of course a lot of people did not like Bill Clinton either who was definitely not racist and brought America out of a deficit . It was amazing that Bill Clinton even got elected as a Baptist lawyer from Arkansas.

    I'm a descendant of the Seminole Indians. My great grandpa live, married, ate, and fought with Florida Indians. He became free and migrated with Florida Indians to remain free. He became an interpreter to speak for Indians to the white man and from the white man to the Indians because he knew both languages. He and his wife who was Indian had 5 children. My grandfather was one of the children. They eventually settled in a community called Sasakwa Oklahoma. Where my great grandpa had a chance to be in the landrush. He accumulate a lot of land. He Farm his land. But could planet certain things. He raised his children all 5 in that community. He dedicated property to the community to have a school, church, and cemetery for that community.

    When he talked about military service it really touched me. I was raised in a family where we were taught that it was our duty to serve. From the age of 9 I dreamt of enlisting in the NAVY. I begged my mom to sign the papers to let me go at 16 when I graduated from high school but she made me wait until I was 18. In basic it was discovered that I have a form of muscular dystrophy and I was disqualified. My little brother chose the ARMY a few years later. He was a medic on the front lines in Tikrir, Iraq. He almost lost his life and is permanently disabled. He was awarded a purple heart yet he's still treated as a second class citizen. It angers me. He deserves better than what he's gotten. Both from our government and the people. The medical care is subpar at best. They couldn't erase his burn scars nor could they remove the shrapnel that is permanently embedded throughout his body. The physical scars don't matter as much as the mental ones. I can't fix him. All I can do is be there for him. Even when he doesn't want me there. Our dad is deceased, and our mother and sisters moved 1700 miles away 3 years ago. I miss them and want to move to be closer but my brother refuses to go. So I stay here. To protect him from himself. He's a good man and an incredible father to his son and daughter. They don't know the sacrifices he's made for them. For all of us. He deserves better. Until he gets it, I am my brothers keeper.

    It's so crazy to me that I'm 44 years old and my daddy grew up in Rockdake, Texas. It was segregated until he was in college. I had no understanding for that when I was a child and learning about segregation and my daddy told me all about it first hand. They made it sound like it was so long ago but if my daddy lived if, then it was just yesterday.

      My racial experiences in GA were even worse up to 2012. In once advised my father that just because I came to understand didn't mean for one minute that I agreed!!! I voiced more than once to white men friends, that being an independent single woman meant that I made my own choices about who I chose as friends. I made sure my child & hers would not be influenced by this ignorant mind set by returning to the west coast. I've raised my family to recognize that people of all color have the same needs & desires for themselves & those they love♡ It's my opinion that the deep south still has a long way to go in terms of racism & segregation...
      I was told it had greatly improved from decades ago, but the situations witnessed by me were shocking & heart breaking! I choose my friends by character! In my opinion, racism us still a work in progress along with gender equality...

    My ancestor was an escaped slave from Virginia (I'm sure she was Gullah). She married a Shawnee man "named" Kishpoko Rainbow. That wasn't his real name, but it is recorded as such. Kishpoko was his Division among the Shawnee (Warrior Division) and Rainbow was a Clan name-probably Sky or Water or something like that. My cousin, a professional genealogist, has records going back to the 1400's of our Indian ancestors. (One of our ancestors was the younger half sister of Pocahontas, so we have some Powhattan blood as well. She also married a Shawnee, and her mother was Shawnee.) My black ancestor's grandson, Thomas Caesar (Skiagunska) Greenwood went with a Cherokee delegation to England back in the 1700's to discuss land issues.
    Anyway, none of my relatives, except my genealogist cousin and one or two others in Oklahoma, will even acknowledge that we are Indian (Shawnee/Cherokee, a little Powhattan), because being Indian back in my mother's day was the same in some parts of the country as being black. But my grandfather was a full-blood, although from two different Tribes.
    I had a dream recently about my black ancestor. She was standing outside my living room window looking in at me, dressed in a deerskin dress, and looking sad. That's because, I think, I had not honored her as I did the Indian ancestors. I'm doing so now. I'm sure the Lord sent the dream, and I love my Grandma, although I don't know her name.

    THIS should be taught in school. Me, as a 50 year old White man who has lived in Birmingham Alabama all of my life was never taught about this horrible cruelty. Oh yes, I knew about Slavery and Jim Crowe but never any details and how real people were affected. The story about Santa Clause just broke my heart.

Meaning, Man makes a woman a Wife and mother by giving her seed of light/love (star) child (without us what is she?) but look at our condition today...The spirit in the woman is close to untolerable. she her own god against me. im living amongst the dead. Where u from?

    Oh my God Africa!!; I thought I lost you. I love Africa so so much. With everything that I have in my soul. It broke me to see you come be a slave, but I realized how much I love you and Africans should never ever be ashamed of anything in our culture,of our heritage. It's okay. I still love you and I always will. I even quit drugs.Just please don't forget who you are or where we are from. And even if you were living in a hut, I would never look down on you. So, don't ever be ashamed. Because I love you very. I love Africa with everything I have. I thought you were going to be a slave and I would lose you. I even quit drugs but I at first I wanted to die than watch your beautiful souls die. And a piece of me was dying. I don't know what y'all doing, but don't forget who we are or don't be ashamed. If Allah hadn't been with me, because it hurt so bad to lose you ., If I hadn't of quit because I knew something was going to bad was going to happen, I would have been doped up and died. But I pray. And now I'm happy because I realize how much I love you and need you and stuff. Heck, I will never be ashamed of you or me, our heritage culture roots of different music. And I cant wait to tell my kids how important keeping our history and not forgetting it is important. And, to dress and be African. We are African first and foremost. And we will always have a rich and beautiful culture. We Are Africans. And I will always love you.

William Tyndale was on the run and lived in hiding to finish writing the English translation when the Roman Catholic Church found him and tied him to a stake and strangled him with a rope and then burned his body. He became known as a martyr and the Tyndale Bible is still available today in spite of the Roman Catholics attempts to stop the English translation of the Bible from reaching all the English speaking people. And of course the Roman Catholic Church wants to be the only church worldwide and is about power corruption false beliefs money and greed.

This is their reality, now the younger ones, are striving, to be like them...$$$$$, the love of this, is still the root of all evil, and Hollywood's least worry, is money, and the lives it has caused with such, indignation.

    This still rings so true today in 2021. Racism still exists especially in the Military, where it’s least talked about and hidden. You have black people that sign up for the Military, and they are treated so poorly, and gendered from ranking above their counterparts. They’re belittled, degraded, spoken down to, disrespected, and made to feel small, and the only time that the higher ranking personnel will become concerned is if they’ve had someone to commit suicide on that particular base, and it’s sad because these are the same people that signed that same paperwork to fight for a country that considers them less than. This needs to change, and I pray that President Biden, and Mr.Austin remove the racists pos from the Military and correct the corruption that’s going on.
