Black History Makers are the reason there’s any such thing #blackhistory! The proof is in the pudding – We built this country on our backs, and for FREE! The truth is, there’s no American History without Black History; Come for me trying to debate that?

Juneteenth was another slap in the face when folks in Texas didn’t even know they were free for years. Some say that speaks to the ignorance of black folks and how true it is. How would an enslaved person know anything when everything was passed down from white enslavers. Even children could tell us anything, setting us up for beatings and even more hurtful things like being ripped away from family sold and never seen again.

They wonder why it’s easy for black men to walk out – They have no absolute reference for staying. Why do black parents sometimes beat/spank their children? The mindset behind these all too regular beatings, even in my generation, is a reference to black history makers. Whippings were synonymous with slavery and kept black folks in line – From the beginning.

Children became slaves of their new owners (parents); The skill, however, was passed down from our white enslavers, but most of their survivors with their privileged financial head-start don’t disown the credit and would rather erase that period from the history books, but nope!

We know this is true, but how do we reverse the curse?
