VERY INTERESTING
Looks interesting. I will check be checking it out.
This looks interesting but if there is any “discussion” in regards to “racial issues”, I don’t understand what it could possibly consist of. It will really just be what it normally is, the white man allowing blacks to throw a proverbial tantrum until they calm down and momentarily relapse into ignorance and simplicity. I found it interesting that the brother broached the issue of reparations to the white man because I’ve never understood how black people could quantify a price tag for what was done to our people. The white jews are still on a scavenger hunt accumulating billions of dollars in regards to the alleged “Holocaust”, so how do you even start to put a price tag on this captivity? If Brian Williams is going to “moderate” this discussion on racial issues; what qualifies him to do so, much less the watered down, idealistic, indoctrinated young blacks that are sure to comprise the majority of the audience and a portion of the panel.
Wow..this is pretty inspiring..I dont think people do that enough..and it might be essential for someone to do so they can get some standing on who they are and thier past..
I think any discussion on race is a good thing. America needs to realize that it won”t go away. We are a polarized society and need to address these issues. Gotta start somewhere.
I don’t think that everything that needs to be said is going to be said during that conversation, i’ most definitely going to watch it. CL: CNN is going to do a special in July called: Black In America. it’s suppose show what it’s like to be black in america, the good and the bad. though that you should know.
Thanks for the info, Benny.
The first installment of Black in America premiered last week.
@3 i’m not trying to argue with you so please don’t take it that way. I’m just trying to understand what you said and not to jump into conclusion like some people on here do, but are you saying that the Holocaust didn’t happen?
I predict that the show will end with some sort of contrived handshake and agreement to “forgive and forget”, lol. White people use these type of shows to work on the conscience of black people, make blacks think that this captivity is a figment of our collective imagination, and that improvement is on the way. They’ll also probably frame it in juxtaposition to Barack Obama and the “increased hope” that they want blacks to feel in regards to America’s future and black peoples’ place in it. Tiki Barber is a world-class coon so anything that he’s involved with must involve eventual subservience. He’s new to NBC, so they threw him on this program as the new “black guy” who’s probably happy to have his first non-football assignment.
this is wonderful i will be watching
@8
The “Holocaust” was a contrived pretext to set up the land of Israel as a home-base for caucasian Jewry, which worked. White jews were killed by Hitler but nowhere to the extreme that has been claimed. Those camps were work camps, just like the ones they’re building here in America. Hitler was a scholar and he knew that those people were not the real Jews. He had no respect for them because they would not stop play-acting and join him in his Aryan agenda. He was trying to rejuvenate within Europe the days of Greece and Rome, which is who he modeled Nazi Germany after, from the marching to the demonic symbolism, i.e. swastikas, lightning bolts, and imperial eagles. The star that he he made the white jews label themselves with had nothing to do with their religion. It was because they were meant to be sacrifices to the sun god Molech which is why he started to burn them as the tide of the war changed. They were sacrifices to Satan to turn the war back in favor of the Nazis.
This looks really interesting, I’ll definitely try to watch this.
Um looks interesting, but I think attention should be focused toward the blacks and hispanics; since there is a raising amount of black and brown tension going on!!!
Reparations to me is giving our schools the best for our kids, taking drugs out of our community, making college and grad school admission available to more blacks, giving us the same type of credit limits and loans that they give whites, giving us jobs with comparable salaries as whites, and the list goes on. I don’t think that we need a check, what we need are more opportunities and unfortunately we have not been getting that over the years. It’s great that we can sit in the front of the bus, but the movement isn’t over yet. Now it boils down to eliminating policies, laws, and social innuendos that work against us. Discrimination is alive and well and it comes in the form of social and monetary oppression. I didn’t listen to the video yet but I do not forgive this country for what it has done and continue to do to African Americans. And yes I have a graduate degree and I’m doing pretty well for myself but it wasn’t an easy path and nothing was given to me unlike some whites who just get jobs because…well becuz they’re white. I thank GOD for my struggle, it was all worth it but we struggle too much and for too long. Even other minorities have a nerve to be racist towards us while they living off the Civil Rights that we fought for. Don’t get me started….
Im not trying to make it a Us vesus Them moment. I just want the new age bigotry to end for the sake of this country. How are we supposed to move on and get over it when they still doing their dirt on every level of this society. A brother in a corporate suit and the one standing on the corner has a lot in common and they both are facing the same issues just in different environments. Whenever it’s easier for a Arab or Asian to get a chain of stores and we can barely get loans for a home business then something is terribly wrong.
@11 okay, now i understand what you were saying.
Ummm. this has been done before.
a white man hip me to the truth about blk/wht relations. when i told him that back in the day when the slaves could only serve massa dinner, FROM the kitchen quarters and wait for the scraps, i said i would of kicked the door in at the banquet and told them white folks to fix me a “plate”. we laughed because i called him a overseer of the slaves. because he was always bird-dogg’n for the man at work. one day he looked at me and said w/candor THAT BLACKPEOPLE WILL NEVER GET A PLATE AT THAT TABLE. and he meant it in the terms of equality its not going to happen the cacuasians must be the master. as they say black power -white control.so we as a people must unify and redirect our vision because we are truly a race that is on our own. and for those who think that this white man is going to welcome us at his table of community you’re having PIPE DREAMS.while all white folks don’t hate us a good majority can’t stand us. they look at us as blacks that don’t equate or equal a man to his standard this is his system. this is not for the weak-willed, house negg’s , or uncle toms. you can contiue to bow and know your place, its a whole LOT of your kind. so plantation folks bow down “i see you bobb’n your head. be a lackey. do what you must do. unity i don’t see blacks are to scattered all over the place w/ your groups frats,lodges, religions, etc. divide the slaves and i will conquer the man says. black folks “just keep livi’n” think’n massa gonna let you sit at his table. gods table is the only way i can see this person at a table w/ me. so when you hear all them MIDDLE OF THE ROAD NIGG’S TALKING THAT TALK SHOW HOST SHIT I SAY MOVE B”””””””” GET OUT THE WAY. CAUSE YOUR CACUASIAN BRO. AIN’T BUY’N.
@13 completely agree with you, i didn’t know it was an issue until i saw a documentary on it.
………………..@!14 i think(SCRACTH THAT I KNOW!!!) there’s a lot of discriminaton going on now, but i don’t think that black people as a whole take the advantages they have now. Our Grandmothers and Grandfathers fought for our right to seat in the front of the bus and what we do, head straight for the back, why is that???LOLOLOLO. We are teaching are little boys not to be doctors or lawyers but to be athletes and rappers or even worse pimps and drug dealers. Not that wanting to be a athlete or a rapper is bad but not everybody boy can rap or play sports. we are teaching are young girls that it’s okay to shake their behind while liquor is being poured all over them as long as they get the all mighty dollar. You are right that the education for our black children is weak compared to white children education and there should be something done about it. I think not letting go of the past is not going to help. i think ( And It’s My Opinion SO Don’t Get Mad)we should forgive. We can’t blame this generation for the last generations mistakes. Please don’t take what i said as an attack because that was not my intentions.
mafuckers need to move on
we came from nothing to something so leave nothin behind excluding the suffering cos we don`t wanna leave that no more
i don`t want my kids to grow up thinkin that white man is always about hate or he is the bigger man
@19
Thanks for droppin’ that knowledge. You gonna teach your kids how to be “British latino nikkas”, like yourself, lol? Not only have the black people of the captivity not improved, they’ve actually regressed and your comment is a sign of that.
Looks very interesting and can’t to watch it on friday.
Wonderful that CL is covering this! David and the Official Pictures team has been working on this for 2+ years so it’s great they’re getting their shine! Please tune-in on Friday everyone…it’s something that everyone needs to see.
Every black person living in this country needs to read #17. And every person who cares about the black people in their lives or black people in general should read it too. Also, dont just read it….understand it, share it, and live it. The way you think can change your life and others.
And to add, its not about race. Its satan and his absolute devilish reign over individuals and groups within our american society. The ONLY way to defeat it is to band together and demand that our society exists in the way that “we the people” intend it to. I dont mean to global with this convo but with this line of thinking the voice that represents this country at UN conferences, the hand that shakes those of foriegn leaders, and group that is responsible for our global relations IS OURS! Umph!
In closing, im gone leave ya’ll with one more word: Coexist
“4get the other man & make a better plan”
I’m excited about this. I’ll be watching Friday.
WHAT WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! is AMERICA READY, it betta be!
damn so ….wow, i gotta see this.
they are 100% sure that they are linked and the white dude ‘s fam use to own someone in david wilsons fam???
stay tune peeps
@ JUDAH, why your comments are very interesting n truthful, and makes you think about it, and the white/rich man plan seems to be working, and only a few people notices it, and speaks up–very intelligent judah.
I feel reperations shouldnt be in the form of money, but in the form of improvement in the school, etc and getting all people on the same level of equality.
I guess the young man and I are two different people, because I don’t need to reconcile with my ancestors that were slaves. I know that it happened. What I need to embrace and discover and so does every black person who had ancestors that were taken from Africa, and possibly Asia because there are and were native blacks living in Asia, is the other stories that aren’t discussed, and which the white world wants us to never find out. It’s no threat to the world, or to the white power structure for black youth to know they are descendants of slaves, their labor force, but what is beyond that. I need to know about Black Great Scientists, Doctors, inventors, and much more than Dr. Drew or Woodson, Washington. But, the unkown. I need to know the great ancient and present Black Civilizations. I need to know more about the freedom fighters that are unknown because we accept only King and X.
I need to know the great writers past and present, and even the great black authors who inspired Greek writers.
These are the things that I want to learn and to teach my children, about how the Olmecas were a mysterious African nation that had a great mysterious pyramids in Mexico and left, leaving the pyramids of Mexico, for the Aztecs to claim as their own.
I need to know and we all need to know about the essence of Black Accomplishment. So, finally , and sadly I’m not impressed with this documentary, because every black child learns that they are descendants from slaves, and this is probably why black youth have self-esteem issues.
Reparations will never happen because that will be acknowledging guilt, and the majority of people in this country feel to this day, that they are not guilty of a crime or the heinous act of slavery was done by others and not them. And considering the fact that many Americans are descendants of immigrants after slavery, they feel that they owe nothing.
And if anyone can believe that the Jewish population was given reparations in the land which is Israel, well look at that situation, everyday Israel is being bombed and terrorized by countries surrounding them. And the mere fact that the Jewish population did get money, is only because many Jewish Europeans had money in European banks and when the Holocaust began, the money was consficated.
I’M GONNA HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT
CHECK OUT THIS VERY SPECIAL PROJECT!! I WAS BLESSED TO BE A PART OF IT….I PERFORMED 2 SONGS FOR THE SCORE OF THE FILM!! IT’S A VERY POWERFUL PROJECT!!!

@28
First off, let’s get an understanding. The caucasian Jews have NO CLAIM to that land and that is why they are constantly in back and forth conflicts with the surrounding nations. The Lord prophesied that the heathen would control the land in the last days and any race other than his chosen that lived there would be victimized by violence (Ezek 36:5, Zech 12:3). The land of Israel is the Holy Land and it is the most valuable piece of property, for many reasons, on planet earth which is why it was necessary that the European Jews confiscate the land. In order to continue the lie that they are the real Jews, they must maintain control of that land. The so-called Jews have not only confiscated money that was stolen by the Nazis, they’ve taken money and accruements that weren’t and aren’t even theirs. The Jews control the banks. The so-called Jews are the ones that take back everything that was taken from them and more, and then taught our people the civil-rights mentality of forgive and forget. They teach but don’t practice. Do your research. The white jews were the founders of the NAACP and the civil rights movement. They were the battery in the back of all those letter organizations that misled the black community in the 1950′s and 1960′s. They taught all those brothers and sisters communism and marxism and instructed them on how to mix it with the church teachings. All that coincided with the subsequent occupation of Israel following to the British Mandate.
Revelation 2:9: “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”
Revelation 3:9: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
I’m gonna check it out…
I also gotta say that I’m reppin that real HU!!! I love my school
i’m just curious? is it wrong to forgive and forget? and if so why?
@34
There’s nothing wrong with “forgiving and forgetting” but it’s at that person’s discretion. That mantra of “forgiving and forgetting” is not biblical. It’s a notion that has been taken out of context by the churches and the religions to mystify the people and make them docile. As I’ve already touched on, the so-called Jews have infiltrated these different religions and have trained the leaders of these religions to teach their followers things that directly contradict the scripture. When Christ spoke, he spoke to the Israelites. All his comments and sermons were directed to his people (Matt 2:6, Matt 15:24, John 4:20-24, Acts 5:31). When he spoke on “turning the other cheek”, he was referring to the Israelites that were enemies toward one another. The white man has taken these sermons and included himself and all other races in the doctrine of Christ while refusing to adhere to the laws, statutes, and commandments (Psa 50:16). The Lord tells us to remember and teach our children.(Deut 4:9, Deut 32:7, Psa 44:1-3, Psa 78:1-8, Joel 1:2, etc.). No one would dare tell a white Jew to forget the Holocaust. Never.
Can’t wait for this to air……..
@35 you’re right he was during the sermon on mount was talking to his followers.but this could apply to his followers today.(Rom.15:4)(1Cor. 13:4,5 1 Pet. 2:21) . Now of course i’m not talking about forgetting in a literal sense. but rather not hold what that person did to us or constantly bring back up. god does this (Isa 43:25, Ezek 33:14-16). being a spiritual person as you are, can’t you see the wisdom in it and also that it does originate with the bible?
@37
God did that with THE ISRAELITES. He has pardoned the ISRAELITES for their sins because you can only break a law that was given to you. The Israelites were the only ones given the law (Psa 147:19,20, Rom 9:4). Please don’t take scriptures and use them out of context. The Lord says that he will remember the deeds of the other nations and hold them accountable (Isaiah 14:1-3, Jeremiah 25:15-38, Jeremiah 46:27,28, Rev 2:27). There is nothing wrong with remembering what has been done to us and the reason why black people (assuming your black) say what your saying is because you’re indirectly acknowledging that you have no power in this society to attain justice.
@judah
i think your the one taking the scriptures out of context(THAT WAS NOT IN A ANGRY TONE). but anyways. i going by what i reasoned from, it’s much better to forgive and forget. now i’m not saying if someone is to get murder that murderer should be set free, but he should be punished. but all i’m saying that we should forgive if we ourselves are expecting god to forgive us it’s only fair and JUST. and by forgetting again i refering to it as not bringing it back up again or rehassing what had happen….
God rules applied to everyone. Job wasn’t an lsraelite and yet he served god. (Job 1:3) some of the people who depart from egypt where non- israelites and yet god expect them to follow his commandmets.those who don’t listen to god are to pay with their lives. so it does to us today.
