of the black american conundrum concerning the black diaspora and the modern(today2015) willful "blindness about it. I hope many more on this forum happen upon this OP. I also hope they don't decide to ignore it, after listening to a few minute of it, yeah there's truth in the first 3 minutes, and in and because of their privilege, move on without listening to the WHOLE truth here of the black american reality. Hopefully when they are on their quest with 'ancestry. com' or whatever, my quest ended in S. Carolina, they begin to understand why, after being denied human relevancy by being torn from a family of origin and brought here, if the "Middle Passage' didn't kill one, and turned into a "bill of sale" a POC might want to riot against the inhumanity shown to POC in 2015, by racist(s) with badges and guns. Well worth 43 minutes of life in listening, really listening.

As relevant today as it was in, that, the Vietnam War era.

I wish I could K&R this a thousand times. I have a renewed refreshed respect for these men. Big time.

Malcolm X Network....excellent. Leads to much education...about this system.
