Speaking of The Koon, it’s been almost 20 years to the day that Kanye spoke truth to power when he said on live TV during a fund raiser for Katrina that George Bush didn’t care about Black people. He still has a “set” but they’ve shriveled up into little walnuts.
Gullah-Geechee in the house. My mama’s people came here from Jamaica through South Carolina. Who knew our people placed the longest rebellion smack down in US History? Mmmmph.
THIS is the kind of history they want to keep from us in Texas and Florida.
Thank goodness for HBCUs. They will help us remember and rebuild everything they’re taking from us. It will take time….years. We did it after Reconstruction when they took our shit and we will do it again.
People just don’t know our resilience and strength.

My granddaddy’s ancestors *heart swells*. Thanks for this post snitch. I miss my papa and his birthday/death anniversary is approaching. When he moved to NY as a young man, people called him geechee. He was a country boy through and through and no one could understand a word out of his mouth. He was the strongest, hardest working man I ever met in my life and my grandmother is still spoiled rotten to this day because of her “huzzzband” as she tells it. 😩
Wow. I've These rebellions should have been brought up to Koonye when he said slavery was a choice.
