Black Body

When America was discovered and colonized by England, England populated her American colonies not with people who were refined and cultured, but, if you read the history, she did the same thing here that she did in Australia. All the convicts were sent here to found this country. The prisons were emptied of prostitutes and thieves and murderers. They were sent over here to populate this country. When these people jump up in your and my face today, talking about [how] the founding fathers were puritan pure, that's some talk for somebody else. No, the founding fathers from England came from the dungeons of England, came from the prisons of England; they were prostitutes, they were murderers and thieves and liars. And as soon as they got over here, they proved it. They created one of the most criminal societies that has ever existed on the earth since time began. And if you doubt it, when you go home at night, look in the mirror at yourself, and you'll see the victim of that criminal system that was created by them.

They were such artful liars, they were such artful, skillful liars, that they were able to take a criminal system and, with lies, project it to the world as a humanitarian system. They were the worst form of criminals themselves, but with their lies they were able to project themselves as pilgrims who were so religious, they were coming to this country so they could practice their religion. And you ate that thing up 100 percent. No, they were crooks that came here—Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Quincy, and the others, all of them were criminals. And if you doubt that they were, when they wrote this document talking about freedom, they still owned you. Yes, when they wrote, how does that thing go—about "all men created equal"?—that was later on. Who was it wrote that—"all men created equal"? It was Jefferson. Jefferson had more slaves than anybody else. So they weren't talking about us.

When I see some poor old brainwashed Negroes—you mention Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and Patrick Henry, they just swoon, you know, with patriotism. But they don't realize that in the sight of George Washington, you were a sack of molasses, a sack of potatoes. You—yes—were a sack of potatoes, a barrel of molasses, you amounted to nothing, in the sight of Washington, or in the sight of Jefferson, or Hamilton, and some of those other so-called founding fathers. You were their property. And if it was left up to them, you'd still be their property today.

This ending scene in Wakanda Forever, Shuri finds out that T’Challa & Nakia had a son.

Nakia was in hiding in Haiti.

They named their son Toussaint.

Today is the anniversary of the real life Toussaint Louverture leading the Haitian slave revolt that defeated Napoleon and the French, earning their liberation and freedom.

The way Ryan Coogler wrote this and so many other gems and easter eggs within the Black Panther films is absolutely incredible.

Unfortunately, The United States of America and France have PUNISHED Haiti for revolting against slavery.

For 122 years, Haiti was forced to pay BILLIONS to France in REPARATIONS to SLAVEHOLDERS AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.

America helped force Haiti to do so.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris was paid for by Haiti…

Haiti gained its independence but was unable to invest in its own infrastructure as a new nation because of the crippling debt.

Many people are ignorant or play ignorant as to how events that happened over 100 years ago could have direct implications on how things are today.

The world is changing. Colonizers who have ruined the earth and treated people of color with evil and as less than human are continuing to be exposed.

This is why they want to control which parts of history are taught in schools.

Happy Independence Day Haiti. ✊🏿 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
