ReplyTwo very smart men…
ReplyAWESOME to HAVE Dr. #HenryLouisGates #Jr on the show! LOVE #FindingYourRoots ‼️Now I have to look up #facesofamerica 😊
ReplyThe professor is missing something; people were at war in the 1970’s and before. Black people were never given a chance to be “all american”
ReplyI get it, but we can’t forget that black people are not “naturally” this way. Bullies are not born; they are made. The behavior of black folk is a byproduct of the system. Because of this, I wouldn’t write this book. It pits the blame on black folk when they are byproduct not the root of the problem.
ReplySuch a learned man. I can listen to him all day. Mr Henry Louis Gates always provides a very indepth analysis of race and defining who one is ❤
ReplyWhat I’ve always found weird about Finding Your Roots is that I’ve always known about my family going back to the Revolution and why most Americans don’t know their ancestry?
ReplyThe point was to get me to commit suicide. There will be lawsuits the rest of my life.
ReplyIt gets reduced to taking my things demeaning me men going down on me underage and ixe cream and blow jobs. I expect changes. Vefire dec 2013, i had promise and worth outside of an abusive shitshow relying heavily on lies
ReplyWe wont be normalozing child exploitation and abuse againat women using my things
ReplyGender is the issue and taking my things without consent. Controlling me which includes economic control. Really pathetic and abusive.
ReplyThey do need to fix my looks they damaged and i need to move on. It was intended to get me killed and almost did. And there will be lawsuits the rest of my life.
ReplyLol
ReplyI have this book and it is great! I’m only in chapter 2 at the moment but I think everyone should get this book plus 1 of his others called Stony the Road. My future career goals is a dual doctorate degree in Anthropology and African American History. There’s so much history to learn that tells us about our present that explains everything. “History is the study of change” Yuval Noah Harari, it’s so important! Great interview!
