The Atlantic Launches 'Inheritance' Project On Black History | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Remember when Democrats were praising Cuomo? 😆
@Ro G all I’ve heard is excuses from Dems for cumo
@AR Crossing It was a Dem who called him out.
@Lesley Edgley yep, and see comment above please.
Stop the Steal was a big failure! Democrats don’t protect Democrats wrong doings. As to Nazi Republicans protecting American Democracy worst enemy “Trump”.
No….
I don’t see anyone as black.
@Ro G dude you just got seriously owned hahaha
@Nehry Skinigers Idolatry is a sin, and deriving your ideological framework from a celebrity is very unfortunate.
@Nehry Skinigers I don’t know wish I had the answer but I don’t blame your father for leaving it’s sad that there people that feel like there better than anyone else simply because there skin color
@EpsilonGoods no it means he doesn’t care about color like you deranged leftists do. I guarantee when you see blacks people you treat them differently which is inherently a racist thing to do, but you do it anyways thinking you’re being woke 😂😂😂
@AR CrossingIt’s not leftist or woke to say that people who virtue signal about not caring about race are obnoxious. Nehry said “I don’t see anyone as black.” That’s such a vague statement that you could add whatever you want on top of it.
Black History is American History.
Because even 170 years later, the issues we failed to solve back then are the issues that are ripping apart our country today.
@Bat Boy Italian history month is October. Asian history month is May. Hispanic history month is Sept-Oct.
But I’m sorry….you were trying to make a point. 😅😂
@Bat Boy Well, reparations are to make good on all the free labor that was provided during slave times because you know, they were slaves. It has nothing to do with fixing the institutions that are systemically discriminate against minorities.
@Ro G – Regarding the months, you didn’t answer the question (fully). Read it again.
@Ro G – No one, not even you, have a solution to compensation for black slavery. It’s like climate change…we know it’s wrong, but I’m very hard realism…there is no solution. We can act like we are addressing it, but Let’s be honest, it’s about living with injustice, and telling ourselves a story that makes us feel better. Reparations, Paris Climate change accord…feels good. It’s just wishfully thinking to make us feel better.
Guess what?
We fought a Civil War over it.
I like the fact that as soon as blacks had the ability to learn to read and write took less than 50 years from 20% to 90% of blacks Americans to be able to read and write and keep history and they’ve been part of our the history ever since. white European people have been keeping records for thousands of years. many blacks in Africa didn’t keep records going back that far. but we’re glad they’re here and part of our history going forward. no one can change the past to keep complaining about it.
@AR Crossing right cuz it’s not white people fault black people didn’t keep history on paper. Or even on rock or stone or anywhere they just didn’t write. Or you would have a black history that goes back thousands of years like white folk do. Instead we see this made up land of wakanda. No the simple fact is that they didn’t keep history because it didn’t have a written language. Not all not all not all but most.
@Modest, ca 2-0 acquitted it’s almost like they never really contributed much because they couldn’t read or write. Lol
@AR Crossing no I didn’t say that you did. I just said their history starts here in America because I didn’t keep records in Africa.
@Modest, ca 2-0 acquitted I know you didn’t say that. I did say that though. They were not developed back then.
@Modest, ca 2-0 acquitted Don’t blame black people for the idea of Wakanda. It came from a comic book written by a Jewish man. And now some return the compliment, by usurping Jewish history, and falsely claiming they are the real Jews.
She neglected to mention the undesirable part was the Black Panther Movement in the sixties
Of course she neglected that! It doesn’t fit their narrative.
Dummass
Too much we don’t know. Upset we were not taught. Living in Oklahoma, I did not learn of Black walstreet. Tulsa riot until they started searching for graves. Breaks my heart, can’t fathom. Watching movies does not do the justice of what we don’t see or know, the Pain is more intense, we can not hide from but can learn truth!
I didn’t know how badly the Greeks treated other Greeks back in the day. I also found out that there were more people killed during the Holocaust than there were ever slaves in America. Why does such a small amount of people complain so badly? 🤔
@AR Crossing yikes. So creepy.
@Mary Sue Echols it’s true though.
I’m only 6% black among many other things, more than a few people can see the injustice unless your blind then we’d all be Black. I thought the holocaust is over, maybe I’m wrong. This mistreatment is not over for people of color. Truth.
@AR Crossing yes. Man’s inhumanity to Man has always existed. Point is, mitigating/improving this particular instance, not whataboutism.
DECOLONIZE!!!!!!!
Come back when you can’t stay so long.
That was terrible blacks selling blacks there on people
Analize this: I was born here in the states but raised in the 80s in Puerto Rico, and the majority there are brown skin, so I never had a reason to make any particular way to see people but as humans. Then i came back to the states as a young man at 18, and here all the “race” thing exploded in my face and I became aware of the “second class people”. So i asked my father, and He said that he went back to live in Puerto Rico in the 70s prissily because of the rasism in the United States. So this cancer has metastasized to this point in every government agency federal and local and the Military. So what are we going to do about it?
This is 2021 no the 50’s. We live in a land of equal opportunity. Take excuses for lack of success to a socialist country where everything is handed to you. Blacks have the same opportunity as anyone else this day in age.
@BostonBruins 88 Nothing is “given to me” not even the god-dam unemployment “benefits” …and I paid taxes all my life…so stop the lies
@Nehry Skinigers I’m not referring to you. I believe you probably worked extremely hard to get here. What I’m saying is today blacks are labeled as oppressed in a land of equal opportunity, it’s all about excuses now. I’m saying we don’t live in the 60s anymore. God Bless.
@BostonBruins 88 I saw a black young man with his pants falling and i yell at him in spanish…..”usa una maltida correa” ( wear a belt on your pants )…and He didn’t understand and waved Hello to me. hahahahaha
Your dad went back to Puerto Rico “prissily”?
KUDOS!!!! Thank you! Atlantic! Teachers: use this in your lesson plans and units!!!!!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God loves you.
@Seven of Nine why do you leftists hate Christianity but love Islam.
@AR Crossing I hate nothing. But I fight totalitarian ideologies like the abrahamic. Islam and christianity are both abrahamic. So, your question makes no sense at all.
If we give reparations, can we stop talking about black people all the time? I’m getting tired. 😓 I just want blacks and whites to stop this cold Civil War.
No. Your racism will be exposed.
Most people have ancestors who were slaves. European Jews are descended from those enslaved, and transported, by the Romans at the end of the Bar Kochba revolt. So many Slavic people were sold as slaves, the word slave comes from their name. The idea of reparations is truly stupid, who will give reparations to all of us with slaves in our lineage?
@Seven of Nine so what? What’re you going to do if he’s racist? You won’t do anything lol.
Calexico California king of the valley Egypto ❤️
At Harvard University they have “black only” dorms. Oh how the Civil rights icons would be Disgusted at how far we’ve fallen.
✊🏾
Hello Mikw.👋🐰🐔.
Me, 👍☺👏👏👏.
The Federal government has always been the primary instrument of system racism?
Well you could say they do sort of profit when they allow migrants over the border. Kinda.lol
Thank you Mika!
yet in 2021 we had a sitting U.S. president willing to throw out millions of black votes to remain in power … are we really progressing😒
