Martin Luther King Jr. explained why comparing Black Americans to other immigrant groups misses a crucial part of history. When asked why Jews, Irish, and Italians had managed to escape poverty while many Black Americans remained trapped by it, King said the comparison overlooked two fundamental differences. The first...

LUKE CAMPBELL AND KAMALA HARRIS ARE NOT BLACK AMERICANS – THEY ARE IMMIGRANT TETHERS (Miami, Florida)— Luther “Luke” Campbell (Luther Luke Campbell) has now conducted two interviews with Kamala Harris, seemingly attempting to push FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS (FBA) to vote for her, despite her history of policies that have disproportionately harmed Black Americans. Kamala Harris has a record of MASS INCARCERATION BY LOCKING BLACK FOLKS UP policies and allow ILLEGAL MASS IMMIGRATION—policies that threaten to economically and politically marginalize the Black American community. It’s important to emphasize that Luke Campbell is not a Foundational Black American; he is a Bahamian immigrant tether who has built his platform off exploiting and appropriating Black American culture. Campbell has a history of benefiting from the Black community while simultaneously causing harm. His music career has been characterized by a focus on hypersexualizing and degrading Black women—content that he would never promote or release within his own cultural context in the Bahamas. Despite this, he now positions himself as a voice attempting to steer Black American political decisions. In his latest interview, Campbell encouraged support for Kamala Harris under the guise of solidarity with a "Black woman." However, it must be made clear that Kamala Harris (Kamala Harris) does not share the lineage or lived experiences of Black Americans. Her parents are immigrants of Indian and Jamaican descent, with her father’s Jamaican ancestry being one of Hindu and White Irish roots. This makes her identity distinct from the descendants of chattel slavery in the United States. The attempt to frame Harris as a representative of the Black American experience is misleading and dismissive of the unique political and social needs of FBAs. It’s critical for the Black community to scrutinize who truly represents their interests and to reject the imposition of so-called leaders and figures who do not have the best interest of Foundational Black Americans at heart.

David Oyelowo for some reason felt the need to do another interview about his 'Lawman:Bass Reeves', I know he's been upset with my tweets about - everything about the show. One thing I criticized him and other foreign black actors who have done this is- when they make or star in projects about Black Americans, they always say "I don't know WHY this story wasn't told before". Steve McQueen said it about 12 yrs/Slave, Cynthia Erivo said it about 'Harriet' and David said it about his Bass Reeves show. So I "kindly" informed him that the reason why stories about Black Americans are rarely if ever told is due to R-A-C-I-S-M against Black Americans. That "thing" your movie or TV show is probably ABOUT. The fact that they either DON'T know that or are insinuating that Black Americans are just TOO LAZY and INCOMPETENT to MAKE MOVIES ABOUT THEIR OWN HISTORY - SO WE AFRICANS HAVE TO DO IT FOR THEM, is OFFENSIVE and PROOF that they have NO BUSINESS TOUCHING OUR STORIES and therefore PREVENTING US from doing so by their actions. Anyway, after I tweeted that, he changed his answers to that question in subsequent interviews. He's doing it again HERE, trying to reinforce that he KNOWS the reason why it took for example The Disruptor💥 to get his Bass Reeves movie made and shown while being blackballed by Hollywood is because of RACISM. One reason WHY black immigrant actors don't want to blame RACISM is because that would invite people to ask WHY THEY didn't seem to have a problem getting movies made about Black Americans when Black Americans so clearly DO. mm

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "To me, it's [JFK's] most important speech. It's one of the most important speeches in American history; the thing that he did that was so unusual in that speech is he talked to the American people and asked them to put themselves in the shoes of the Russians..." "The zeitgeist of our era was that America had won the war and now we were going to rightfully dominate the peace. And he said something very, very different to Americans that challenged that patriotic assumption: He said, no, it was actually the Russians who won the war. They weakened Hitler and made it possible for us to march into Berlin." "And he talked about the suffering of the Russians during the war and to legitimize their security concerns, which nobody was doing... what he was saying to the Americans is, no, they have legitimate security concerns the same as we do, and we need to understand those things." "And he reminded Americans of the suffering that the Russians had endured, unimaginable suffering. One in seven Russians had been killed during World War II. He asked Americans to imagine that all of the land, all of the cities, all of the towns from the East Coast to Chicago had been leveled to rubble, that the forests and fields had been burned. And he said that's what happened to Russia during the war. That's what they sacrificed for us, and they have legitimate security concerns to make sure that never happens again..." "I'm speaking you today because the world is once again at a very similar crossroads. As in my uncle's time, nuclear tensions are at an extreme and dangerous level. As in his time, we have a unique opportunity not only to diffuse those tensions, but to take a radically different path, a path towards peace."
