The quality of care is 👎👎👎 as only low grade doctors accept MediCal but none the less the lump sum 💰💰💰 that the State receives on behalf of the needy is what they are after. So pretty much CA uses its poor to get rich. And this is taking place in the State that is responsible for 20,000 forced sterilizations performed in 1930's which served as a blueprint for inhumane policies that were implemented in Germany in 1940s. History is about to repeat in California. Please ring the bell!!!
All rich people have to do is say sorry to be forgiven. When poor people make mistakes they lose their freedom, their homes, and everything they own. The mistakes made by poor people are due to the terrible conditions created by the rich and Powerful.
First; this has nothing to do with "rich" people. Science has nothing to do with wealth. And, you apologizing for something your grandfather did is absurd. Also, last I checked, the "rich and powerful" are responsible for the world you live in and I'm pretty sure your world is pretty nice (as is the rest of the "free world"-which was created by "rich"/powerful/white men. The "terrible conditions" are what some groups have brought upon themselves and continue-generation after generation to perpetuate. Fact: millions of Europeans immigrants (many treated similar to the way blacks were treated in the late 1800's) plowed forward and became hard working, respectable citizens who have and continue to contribute to the betterment of society. They helped themselves. They are responsible for their rise. Others are responsible for their (constant) failure. Yes, Indians and black had it bad - but that was hundreds of years ago. There is no one systematically "holding down" any group. A society does not benefit from having poverty and crime.
These people are ghouls this should be treated as a crime scene any and all body parts need tobe returned to the closest living relitives and ancestors using DNA proof NOT a mass grave
DNA testing may not be an option depending on how some of these brains were preserved and maybe contaminated beforehand. Some of the remains can be tracked down in origin by where they came from and reports of grave robberies and body desecrations in targeted communities. It's an overall nightmare though, especially since they ghouls responsible didn't bother to record names in most cases.

The wealthy / powerful in the USA are inherently racist and they have always set out to prove they are genetically superior to people of color and specifically indigenous people. This was the issue back then and it’s the same issue today. It’s the same problems but the powerful have funded different “scientific studies “ . They continue to steal our organs, but they study how poisons in the water,food,air etc effect us mentally ,physically, and emotionally etc.
This is vile. When will people learn we are all one? One planet, one species (including animals, nature, water, etc). Disappointed with The Smithsonian.
Bill Gates father, one of the executive heads of the Planned Parenthood Federation comes to mind as does the founder Margret Sanger. Her placement of the earliest clinics were in primarily black neighborhoods. She and her cohort were trying to reduce/eliminate black folks bc they considered them as inferior and unintelligent. Eugenics in the first half of the 20th century was a popular openly discussed social topic amongst the population. After the public learned about the human atrocities of WW2, eugenics lost it's popularity and it's supporters (rich and powerful, respected members of society) took their work underground to avoid backlash from the people. The mission of Planned Parenthood has not changed much, other than broadening their influence to uneducated, poor people who are also unaware of what's going on. These days women celebrate the death of their child, not knowing, or maybe not caring that they are supporters of eugenics aimed at their own race.
It's strange that they mentioned William Howard Taft and the American occupation of the Philippines without mentioning the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) which the US fought to gain that occupation. This war was very brutal and one-sided, and stories of atrocities like the murder of young children soon turned much of the American public against the war and the continued American occupation. Hence the push by officials like William Howard Taft to rationalize American conduct by portraying the Filipinos as primitive, like children--people that we had to "uplift and Christianize," in the words of one Senator--despite the fact that they were already Christian and had set up a democratic government. Exhibits like the 'human zoo' displaying Filipino natives at the St Louis World's Fair helped serve this purpose: by portraying the natives as primitive and inferior, the brutal conduct of the war, as well as the denial of the right to self-government, was justified.

@@happyferguson4956 And how about that asshole scientist, huh!? ...he just proved how delicate his self esteem was that he had to conduct an experiment with the ultimate intent of building himself and his race up , at a time when .... Now I see why they want to omit this kinda history, it really is shameful
Yes, to prove how Superior they were to others..... Not the fucking same! This is a literal example of how y'all dodge the real issues at every turn for every issue.... "Irish people were slaves too"..... Knowing damn well they were indentured servants who eventually turned "White". Ugh
Aleš Hrdlička is a Czech American anthropologist who studied human brains from the remains of indigenous people. He was also trying to prove that Eastern and Southern Europeans are categorized as whites through this brain collection. I am an Igorot from Benguet, Cordilleras in the Philippines and my husband is a Czech. This is just painful to watch. 😞
The languages of the Philippines are closely related to the languages of Hawaii. What does that tell you about navigation skills and raw courage? This racist's own criteria show that the people he despised were "superior" to him. Or maybe we should ditch these foul categories? But first point out the contradictions in the racist position.
This is the reason why I have always push for reparations for African Americans , this is year 2023 and this type of systemic racism has never been compensated to all those African Americans inheritance affected by this unjust acts of racism
There's been tons over the centuries. They've generally been written by non⚪ people, so.... They're not hard to find, I would recommend reading them. These remains at the Smithsonian are just the tip of an extremely racist iceberg.
It was mentioned in Pamela Newkirk’s book, “Spectacle: The Astonishing Life of Ota Benga.” Newkirk’s book centers on the Congolese teenager but she provides extensive research on the St. Louis World’s Fair.
It’s normal they always skip us even though …we (blacks people) were the entire focus of the study! The other brains he acquired simply because they were convenient. The scientist wanted to prove that whites were superior to blacks but he never released information because he clearly couldn’t prove it. They skipped over the plight of the black people because that’s what they are trained to do.
NO MASS GRAVES!!!!! I expect this Task Force would include representation from the various cultural/ ethnic groups affected by these barbarous practices!

The obsession is real. Our real heritage has already been proven. Africa is the cradle of knowledge and civilization but for the raiders, marauders, genocidal inteuders. There have been many to try to destroy us for thousands of years, but still we stand. How utterly disrespectful.
@@frederiquecouture3924this is not native American land. Europeans gave it that name. So let all people go back to their native land. Oops! The slave masters destroyed the information and beated out of the "AA" where their original land is.
Honestly, this almost religious obsession with "Africa is a cradle" kinda resembles Christian belief in Holly land is Palestine, as a justification for many-many Crusades to come. Please live Africa to Africans and live happily in the place you were actually born, okay? Because that's your actual Motherland, not Africa.
In Paris, the "Musée de l'homme" museum alone has 18k+ human skulls today. Most of them from Africa. There is always something buried under under "freedom", "democracy" and "human rights" buzz words
This nation and its institutions never amaze me to their total depravity, especially to those of color that inhabit the nation, even after death. Peace
How do you come to the conclusion of "this nation" over a handful of sick psychopaths that still dictate their globalist agenda to ALL of us? Smithsonian, funded by the Rockefellers, has a LOT of deep, dark secrets hidden away from us, telling our TRUE HISTORY. Giant human bones, elongated skulls, artifacts from all over the world found in a cave off the Colorado River. The Vatican and the mountains of things they have hidden in their basement. Same psychopath club. It has nothing to do with "this nation" and We The People, yet everything to do with the freakshow behind the curtain. You want to go down a historic rabbit hole? Look up Tartaria.
I wonder how new the most recent acquisitions of this type are tho. Like, they mention one bad curator a lot, but that is so many collections of remains. It's hard to believe that he's responsible for all of this.
As well as elongated skulls and many historic secrets that are written out of our true history. Research "Tartaria" if you want a fun rabbit hole to go down ;)
Smith is only NOW that requiring human remains must be CONSENSUAL. I would have presumed this would be the norm. What sort of grotesque museum is the Smith. Discusting place. IRELAND
This is horrible... But these were small exhibits, The African tribes were the main attraction's such as the Pygmy tribes individuals like Ota Benga. Not to take away from the devastation it caused ethnic groups like the Filipinos... But to not mention the people who were considered main attraction's in these horrific shows like Sarah Baartman...seems like some type of diversion. 250 plus brains 3 were Filipinos,who were the rest why no records of those? Somewhat of a travesty here. Unfortunately this was no comparison to chattel slavery which ended just prior to this.
Just rewatch the video ….the remainder of the brains were of black people… so this explains why No One cares. It’s unfortunate , but society is founded on people over looking and adding to the trauma of black people. Ok carry on 😊
@suzanneharris8339: Perhaps not. Hrdlicka was born in Austria-Hungary, the same empire into which Hitler was born. Hrdlicka (1869-1943) was a Czech from Bohemia, and was probably Roman Catholic. The KKK did not like Roman Catholics during their early years as well as second iteration in the 1910's. They also didn't care for immigrants. He was a member of the American Eugenics Society which inspired much of Nazi racial doctrine. In fact, some German doctors visited their American counterparts in the late 1920's or early 1930's to learn more. Hrdlicka may not have had any dealings with the KKK, but I'm sure that he may have had some dealings with eugenics-minded doctors from the early days of the Third Reich. His influence might have played some part in the Nazi's use of eugenics in their own society. There's a book I read, "Hitler's American Model" which was published six or seven years ago on this topic of American and German cooperation in this field. I should re-read it.

Those kind of academics existed in other places in the world at the time thanks to how so many people back then too were shallow while believing they were respecters of persons when nothing was farther from the truth. Was the last century and this century too much different given how some professionals are in the habit of writting in their notes sometimes: "Funny looking odd appearance." Most of the time when things like that got written into a person's medical history the professional doing so thought that patient would never have access to what they wrote thanks to more modern FOIP laws. Like what was probable written often about Saint Kateri Tekakwitha who was in the habit of veiling her face to make it easier for her to communicate with people who only became distracted by her hair too much or whatever. Only because she had survived Small Pox unlike the rest of her closest relatives many professionals assumed that she had a mental problem because she felt self conscious about her scars. Nothing was further from the truth. Took the Roman Catholic church 343 years to finally decide she is a saint too. Insteaad of according to them too only a malcontent or worse.
Every year I find something more I must teach my son who’s Filipino and a close descendant of Lincoln. I must teach him some how the truth and it just shocks me to my core the evil in the world and the lengths to which people will go to achieve it. Those poor souls. ❤
I noticed, expats act more savage abroad than in their homelands. Maybe because they are actually throwaway of their culture? Yet people judge other countries, they've never been it, by these selected individuals.
I feel education is the key . In the same way we get informed by channels like yours that are scarce! Showing this kind of demented and racists characters were there with compliance not so long ago. If children and youngsters could be taught properly and objectively with facts ,even if there is racism in family environment , I believe society would improve as a whole, specially now.

This is how they are owning power over native people all over the world. Nobody will tell the real reasons to people why their body parts (all kind of tissues, bones, blood or hair samples or genes are collected. Everything is about owning power.
My heart goes out to all the POC, but especially all of the Africans who were traff!cked here to America & their children, & their children's children and so on. So many of them are still clearly still in the thick of the trauma. The fact that the Philippinos & Natives are the one bringing attention to this situation shows me that so many of the black communities are still so browbeaten and restricted or just being held back so much that they're still really not even in a secure enough place in society to even really freaking feel safe speaking up and asking for reparations yet! 💔 I will continue fight for a world where we're all treated as equal! ❤ I hope these remains are all quickly returned and finally allowed to find a final resting place! ❤
In California there are many stories in the tribal communities of graves being dug up and the bodies missing the heads. I later found out that the Universities had cadaver programs that were studying Native American brains. So along with the Smithphonian, the Universities need to begin the repatriation process at a minimum.

Outrageous! What the f is wrong with the United States?
ASK THE Vooodoooos.....
I doubt only the US has crap like this. Museums are often collections of old crimes.
The wealthy / powerful in the USA are inherently racist and they have always set out to prove they are genetically superior to people of color and specifically indigenous people. This was the issue back then and it’s the same issue today. It’s the same problems but the powerful have funded different “scientific studies “ . They continue to steal our organs, but they study how poisons in the water,food,air etc effect us mentally ,physically, and emotionally etc.
The historic hubris of the white “Christian” male, is beyond the pail. thank you for exposing this piece of our “dark past”.
Why male... these white woke turds can also be women or even trans. As if the brown or arabs or chinese dont have a dark past...
This is not a Christian quality at all..
Sounds more like the old, prejudiced, southern, post civil war (after slavery l), period,, thinking ....

Christianity indeed. THINK about this and you’ll see religion at the helm. Religion is poison.
Nothing to do with Christianity. This was Social Darwinism.
Ask them what they did with the giant’s bones that they have in custody!
This is the definition of Evil.
This is vile. When will people learn we are all one?
One planet, one species (including animals, nature, water, etc).
Disappointed with The Smithsonian.
There are only Europeans that indulge in these horrors.

Interesting. Eugenics, Bill Gates comes to mind.
Bill Gates father, one of the executive heads of the Planned Parenthood Federation comes to mind as does the founder Margret Sanger. Her placement of the earliest clinics were in primarily black neighborhoods. She and her cohort were trying to reduce/eliminate black folks bc they considered them as inferior and unintelligent. Eugenics in the first half of the 20th century was a popular openly discussed social topic amongst the population. After the public learned about the human atrocities of WW2, eugenics lost it's popularity and it's supporters (rich and powerful, respected members of society) took their work underground to avoid backlash from the people. The mission of Planned Parenthood has not changed much, other than broadening their influence to uneducated, poor people who are also unaware of what's going on. These days women celebrate the death of their child, not knowing, or maybe not caring that they are supporters of eugenics aimed at their own race.
Exactly.
It's strange that they mentioned William Howard Taft and the American occupation of the Philippines without mentioning the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) which the US fought to gain that occupation. This war was very brutal and one-sided, and stories of atrocities like the murder of young children soon turned much of the American public against the war and the continued American occupation.
Hence the push by officials like William Howard Taft to rationalize American conduct by portraying the Filipinos as primitive, like children--people that we had to "uplift and Christianize," in the words of one Senator--despite the fact that they were already Christian and had set up a democratic government. Exhibits like the 'human zoo' displaying Filipino natives at the St Louis World's Fair helped serve this purpose: by portraying the natives as primitive and inferior, the brutal conduct of the war, as well as the denial of the right to self-government, was justified.
"And I asked the Smithsonian: How many brains do you have, and why?"
Touché, really. She got them twice, in one fell swoop. 👍🏽
Mass grave is just getting rid of the remains with no names. DNA should be used and Smithonian should cover all costs. They are liable. IRELAND
This is why you don't register as an organ donor: if they want your organs they're going to take them regardless of whether or not you want to give them . But if you're not an organ donor, then at least, your family has a legal route of redress
I don't think those people had a choice
@@happyferguson4956 Yes, hence my application of the possessive adjective "your". It was purely discursive .
@@happyferguson4956 And how about that asshole scientist, huh!? ...he just proved how delicate his self esteem was that he had to conduct an experiment with the ultimate intent of building himself and his race up , at a time when .... Now I see why they want to omit this kinda history, it really is shameful
They also have "white" brains collected in the same manner very inclusive i would say.
Yes, to prove how Superior they were to others..... Not the fucking same!
This is a literal example of how y'all dodge the real issues at every turn for every issue....
"Irish people were slaves too"..... Knowing damn well they were indentured servants who eventually turned "White". Ugh
I want to know where the giant skeletons are stored there that have disappeared
Horrific, these remains should be returned to their resting places. Quite a disgusting practice!
Aleš Hrdlička is a Czech American anthropologist who studied human brains from the remains of indigenous people. He was also trying to prove that Eastern and Southern Europeans are categorized as whites through this brain collection.
I am an Igorot from Benguet, Cordilleras in the Philippines and my husband is a Czech. This is just painful to watch. 😞
omg :(

The languages of the Philippines are closely related to the languages of Hawaii. What does that tell you about navigation skills and raw courage?
This racist's own criteria show that the people he despised were "superior" to him. Or maybe we should ditch these foul categories? But first point out the contradictions in the racist position.
News flash they will do NOTHING about that except maybe find a way to blame the dead people for being there ..
This is the reason why I have always push for reparations for African Americans , this is year 2023 and this type of systemic racism has never been compensated to all those African Americans inheritance affected by this unjust acts of racism
They have a brain collection maybe they could find one for biden team: 😳🤪🤓🤓🤡
C'mon man
There should be a book on this. Is there?? 🤔
There's been tons over the centuries.
They've generally been written by non⚪ people, so....
They're not hard to find, I would recommend reading them.
These remains at the Smithsonian are just the tip of an extremely racist iceberg.
It was mentioned in Pamela Newkirk’s book, “Spectacle: The Astonishing Life of Ota Benga.” Newkirk’s book centers on the Congolese teenager but she provides extensive research on the St. Louis World’s Fair.
It's surprising nobody mentioned Stephen Jay Gould's The Mismeasure of Man.
Great reporting…puts a lot into perspective.
Some of those will be from Australia
It's mostly Black she totally skipped over that part
It’s normal they always skip us even though …we (blacks people) were the entire focus of the study! The other brains he acquired simply because they were convenient.
The scientist wanted to prove that whites were superior to blacks but he never released information because he clearly couldn’t prove it.
They skipped over the plight of the black people because that’s what they are trained to do.
Amazing work by the young ladies…Thank yous to them AND Democracy Now for airing this information.
Well gd.
1904 wasn't that long ago. This is very sad.
NO MASS GRAVES!!!!!
I expect this Task Force would include representation from the various cultural/ ethnic groups affected by these barbarous practices!
He is obviously of some mix of something more than pasty white! All of his features scream aboriginal/native/tribal ways more than angular crisp bones. No one feature, all of them.
as a St Louisan this is True History that is Never talked about, not even a plaque in Forest Park to acknowledge this horror. these racists belief system runs rampant obliterating the opportunity for Healing these Soul sick actions. Gratitude for this story Democracy Now.
The obsession is real. Our real heritage has already been proven. Africa is the cradle of knowledge and civilization but for the raiders, marauders, genocidal inteuders. There have been many to try to destroy us for thousands of years, but still we stand. How utterly disrespectful.
LIVE IN AFRICA THEN. NOT NATIVE AMERICAN LAND!
@@frederiquecouture3924😮Are you mad? Because it true if you do your research!!!
@@frederiquecouture3924this is not native American land. Europeans gave it that name. So let all people go back to their native land. Oops! The slave masters destroyed the information and beated out of the "AA" where their original land is.
Honestly, this almost religious obsession with "Africa is a cradle" kinda resembles Christian belief in Holly land is Palestine, as a justification for many-many Crusades to come. Please live Africa to Africans and live happily in the place you were actually born, okay? Because that's your actual Motherland, not Africa.
How horrible!!!! What ignorance! The Smithsonian should be ashamed!
Yes there covering up all the MAYAN artifacts too but its all coming out watch out youtube is doing the same thing
The Smithsonians history of racism exhibit. 💀?
In Paris, the "Musée de l'homme" museum alone has 18k+ human skulls today. Most of them from Africa.
There is always something buried under under "freedom", "democracy" and "human rights" buzz words
What the hell, "Racial Brain Collection," who heads this craziness Jeffery Dahmer?
This nation and its institutions never amaze me to their total depravity, especially to those of color that inhabit the nation, even after death. Peace
How do you come to the conclusion of "this nation" over a handful of sick psychopaths that still dictate their globalist agenda to ALL of us? Smithsonian, funded by the Rockefellers, has a LOT of deep, dark secrets hidden away from us, telling our TRUE HISTORY. Giant human bones, elongated skulls, artifacts from all over the world found in a cave off the Colorado River. The Vatican and the mountains of things they have hidden in their basement. Same psychopath club. It has nothing to do with "this nation" and We The People, yet everything to do with the freakshow behind the curtain. You want to go down a historic rabbit hole? Look up Tartaria.
DNA WILL TELL YOU WHOM THEY ARE
Oui. DNA exists. Vooooodooooos.Sataniques.
Funny how they never mention Margaret Sanger when they talk Eugenics these days
The aboriginal people that are part of this first nation need to be addressed
Colonization has so many layers. Just trust the science
That's disgusting. No consent. They need to be honorably interred
The institute must make this public .where is press conference to reveal this to nation.
They can never dissect our Souls 🙌 though they've tried for many years..
I wonder how new the most recent acquisitions of this type are tho. Like, they mention one bad curator a lot, but that is so many collections of remains. It's hard to believe that he's responsible for all of this.
Some people say smithonian also hiding giant skelletons..
Sure IS 👍
As well as elongated skulls and many historic secrets that are written out of our true history. Research "Tartaria" if you want a fun rabbit hole to go down ;)
If they are upset about this wait until they find out about giant remains being stolen and secured by the museum
This is horrific
Funny they have a Margaret Sanger bust at the Smithsonian on display.
They should burry the remains.
Smith is only NOW that requiring human remains must be CONSENSUAL. I would have presumed this would be the norm. What sort of grotesque museum is the Smith. Discusting place. IRELAND
Great reporting…puts a lot into perspective.. Our country has much, much to atone for..
Fascinating story. Alistair Lichka doesn't look white to me. How personal do you suppose his mission was?
His skin is white? But his features are absolutely not White🤔
The Filipino's were murdered. Your research should have uncovered that.
This is horrible... But these were small exhibits, The African tribes were the main attraction's such as the Pygmy tribes individuals like Ota Benga. Not to take away from the devastation it caused ethnic groups like the Filipinos... But to not mention the people who were considered main attraction's in these horrific shows like Sarah Baartman...seems like some type of diversion. 250 plus brains 3 were Filipinos,who were the rest why no records of those? Somewhat of a travesty here. Unfortunately this was no comparison to chattel slavery which ended just prior to this.
Just rewatch the video ….the remainder of the brains were of black people… so this explains why No One cares. It’s unfortunate , but society is founded on people over looking and adding to the trauma of black people. Ok carry on 😊
Remember this weekend..it’s not a racist country.
Thank you for this truthful video.
I wonder if Hrdlicka had any dealings with the KKK which had been establishes around this time.
@suzanneharris8339: Perhaps not. Hrdlicka was born in Austria-Hungary, the same empire into which Hitler was born. Hrdlicka (1869-1943) was a Czech from Bohemia, and was probably Roman Catholic. The KKK did not like Roman Catholics during their early years as well as second iteration in the 1910's. They also didn't care for immigrants. He was a member of the American Eugenics Society which inspired much of Nazi racial doctrine. In fact, some German doctors visited their American counterparts in the late 1920's or early 1930's to learn more. Hrdlicka may not have had any dealings with the KKK, but I'm sure that he may have had some dealings with eugenics-minded doctors from the early days of the Third Reich. His influence might have played some part in the Nazi's use of eugenics in their own society. There's a book I read, "Hitler's American Model" which was published six or seven years ago on this topic of American and German cooperation in this field. I should re-read it.
They should send these to DeSantis. He is a good racist.
Oh brother, another brainwashed individual falling for, and spreading, more divisive propaganda. God forbid We The People stand together on the issues that affect us ALL. 0_o
Race-baiting is all you do.
This was legitimate 'Psychopathic behavior'! Delving deeper, into the historical archives of the nation
would be - too much for many of us to BEAR!!!😟😢
Let’s find something timely and relevant to worry about. This is old news. Time to move on.
Smithsonian have also collected all of the giant skeletons found in the United States as they were bought and other were taken - why hide them from the public and the artifacts found at the burial mounds and caves that had these enormous skeletons.

Those kind of academics existed in other places in the world at the time thanks to how so many people back then too were shallow while believing they were respecters of persons when nothing was farther from the truth. Was the last century and this century too much different given how some professionals are in the habit of writting in their notes sometimes: "Funny looking odd appearance." Most of the time when things like that got written into a person's medical history the professional doing so thought that patient would never have access to what they wrote thanks to more modern FOIP laws. Like what was probable written often about Saint Kateri Tekakwitha who was in the habit of veiling her face to make it easier for her to communicate with people who only became distracted by her hair too much or whatever. Only because she had survived Small Pox unlike the rest of her closest relatives many professionals assumed that she had a mental problem because she felt self conscious about her scars. Nothing was further from the truth. Took the Roman Catholic church 343 years to finally decide she is a saint too. Insteaad of according to them too only a malcontent or worse.
Every year I find something more I must teach my son who’s Filipino and a close descendant of Lincoln. I must teach him some how the truth and it just shocks me to my core the evil in the world and the lengths to which people will go to achieve it. Those poor souls. ❤
My Filipino neighbor ate his dog. Koreans eat dog as a summer soup. It’s not rare
I noticed, expats act more savage abroad than in their homelands. Maybe because they are actually throwaway of their culture? Yet people judge other countries, they've never been it, by these selected individuals.
This is water under the bridge.
@wnklee6878 No, no it's not!!
Eugenics positives or negatives is in eye of beholder.
It's a brain drain on the gravy train
Things might never be the same
I feel education is the key .
In the same way we get informed by channels like yours that are scarce!
Showing this kind of demented and racists characters were there with compliance not so long ago.
If children and youngsters could be taught properly and objectively with facts ,even if there is racism in family environment , I believe society would improve as a whole, specially now.
I love your channel and beautiful approach to life! Your daughter is a very fortunate little girl.

Otoh, Einsteins brain was also taken without consent.
This is how they are owning power over native people all over the world. Nobody will tell the real reasons to people why their body parts (all kind of tissues, bones, blood or hair samples or genes are collected. Everything is about owning power.
The families of African decent need to know where their family's remains are😢
My heart goes out to all the POC, but especially all of the Africans who were traff!cked here to America & their children, & their children's children and so on. So many of them are still clearly still in the thick of the trauma. The fact that the Philippinos & Natives are the one bringing attention to this situation shows me that so many of the black communities are still so browbeaten and restricted or just being held back so much that they're still really not even in a secure enough place in society to even really freaking feel safe speaking up and asking for reparations yet! 💔 I will continue fight for a world where we're all treated as equal! ❤ I hope these remains are all quickly returned and finally allowed to find a final resting place! ❤
In California there are many stories in the tribal communities of graves being dug up and the bodies missing the heads. I later found out that the Universities had cadaver programs that were studying Native American brains. So along with the Smithphonian, the Universities need to begin the repatriation process at a minimum.
Thank you DN.
