I want to make something clear. I am so happy that celebrities are saying something with all the attention they have and they’re contributions are greatly appreciated. But what I do want you to think about is how this works in other situations... imagine when something serious happens to a white individual if the only people that spoke out were post malone, David beckham, and one direction. It would be ridiculous. We want leaders and politicians who run the country to deal with these issues. The black community does not have people we can look up to like that. And when something does happen to us, the system says nothing. This needs to change.

Reposted from @rootsconnected - "Because Black people think everything in the Bible is true" Dr. John Henrik Clarke (born John Henry Clark, January 1, 1915 – July 12, 1998), was a Pan-Africanist writer, historian, professor, and a pioneer in the creation of Africana studies and professional institutions in academia starting in the late 1960s. #blackpeoplewakeup#babylon#justicefornipsey#blackunity#blackpower#melanin#malcolmx#unapologeticallyafrikan#blackbritish#garveyite#consciouscommunity#racism#zambia#ukblackbusiness#kenya#panafrican#jamaica#oppression#carribean#drjohnhenrikclarke#naija#nigeria#blackcommunity#afrobeats#africanfashion#blackowned#blackbusiness#africanamerican#slavery#whitesupremacy# https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDLHVHHq6s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=177lhpspe7bpe
#therichestmaninhistory - Still doin the research on this (because it’s reported that King Solomon, a prophet of God / once king of Israel, holds this distinction) but Mansa Musa is THE “WEALTHIEST PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD” 🌍 Yes 👏🏿 a Black man, an African, was the richest or rather WEALTHIEST PERSON IN HISTORY. John D. Rockefeller is often credited with this accomplishment but historical accounts tell a different story.

“My education, or at least the education that I sought after, was exclusionary to African history — at least African history that was positive, African history that was celebratory. So me and my sisters want to find people who are like-minded and can help us understand our ancestry and help us find vocabulary for it and help us tell these stories in a way that affirms how we tell stories, which is through oral history. We are not a video people, we are not a people with a written history. To be honest, we are oral historians and we want to participate in carrying that forward.”
We all have a story that plays in our mind. A story that puts a ceiling on our lives. It tells us what we can and can’t do, what we should believe and how we should act. My stories used to stop me! But I don’t get hung up on it anymore, because I know I have the power to rewrite them. You can rewrite your story too. And once you believe YOU can, you will. #believeinyourself #truepotential #ghetto #goodlife #success #mentalprison #truemaster #selfmastery #awakenyourgreatness #workwithjohnd #blackpeoplewakeup #dontstaystuck
