Not sure but could be talking about my grandfather's 333rd Batallion who had a good kill ratio at the Battle of the Bulge before they were captured. While being marched to the POW camp 11 of them escaped but we're captured, tortured, and killed by SS. Look up "Wereth 11" movie.

My sister did the same for me 16 years ago. My blood is now officially female if tested. I used to joke that I can go commit crimes and they would be looking for her. She didn't find that funny, she's an attorney.

A large percentage of Black Californians have a modified southern accent. Their roots are in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and nearby states. Same in Chicago and most Midwest cities. You would have to know everyday Black people from these areas to recognize it.

It was all good when he was rewriting Black American history to fit his agenda. But he is now getting cooked in the comments by his own supporters for claiming ancient Rome had Arab and Black emporers. He crossed that sacred line.
“Racism” didn’t really exist in ancient Rome. Emperors were white, black, Arab, didn’t matter. The color of your skin was like the color of your eyes. *Citizenship* is the distinction they drew. It wasn’t just about what you got in return, it was about your duty to your nation.

Black Republicans wrote the Christian hymn "Lift Every Voice" 120 years ago in honor of Abraham Lincoln. It's nickname has been the Negro/Black National Anthem since the 1920s. Made in America and inherently AMERICAN!

Yet Black people had guns in Tulsa, Rosewood, and the massacre of Black soilders in LA. Black people had guns in the rural South in the 1950s and still couldn't vote. 2A by itself did not secure rights. We know that. Our families knew that. Who are you really trying to convince?

White Supremacy is the belief and practice that White people are superior and Black people are inferior.
Black Supremacy seems to be a term used for the Black struggle to become equal despite being considered inferior.
One of these is not actual "Supremacy"
