Why are the comments on the vid concerning slaves that put barrels of artifacts in a basement turned off
Couldnt be to race bait toward whites, now could it
If people will notice that is always the case wherever you find it
Those that smear entire groups of people and attempt to cause unrest or even violence; try to shut down true comments concerning actual facts and above board debate
THE BRUTALITY OF ENSLAVEMENT was part of the caption
Some who claim to teach or present are really instigators, just in quiet places and in disguise, so they think
Being seen and heard more all the time for their true purpose
