I absolutely despise this comment. Mainly because it gives a very false notion of actual African hierarchy when it comes to their royalty.
Africans were very hierarchical just like other socities. Only those born of a certain status (or conquerers) could be king.

Interesting stuff past couple weeks.
Overlook the racist haters on this board.
Harlem piece is something that's always interested me.
Lots of money there at one time, espec when blacks were having hard time in other parts of the US during that time in American history.
It's ashame they couldn't build on what was going on in the community that period of time.

I know. My main reason for making these threads was to express how far blacks have come and how we can capitilize on successes of the past. We don't need organizations like BLM in order to become more prosperous.
My epilogue is mainly going to express this.

Really?
Can you prove that by linking one post I've made or did your bitch sheep arse just repeat what you've heard someone else say?
What I thought.
Stfu and raise your hand next time you want to reply to me.

Well the Harlem community back in the 30s-50s sure seemed to be a good time for blacks in that part of the country.
I guess drugs ultimately led to its demise?

Volod, I know you caught some flak about your posts but your threads have identified some interesting historical figures.
The Civil Rights Movement has been rehashed to death, but both the Harlem Renaissance and Buffalo Soldiers are solid topics.
You could easily devote a month to black artists, Henry Ossawa Tanner being my favorite.

Well a good start would be to stop embracing tribalism by acting like skin color is the greatest determinant of a people. Individualism is the key to an equal society. "Blacks" don't need to capitalize on anything. They need to worry about themselves and their families just like everyone else does in a functioning society.

Buffalo Soldiers
Fascinating topic for a lot of different reasons - somewhat organic as black troops had flooded into the Federal army during the war from about 1863 onwards. Including some Northern blacks, but heavily concentrated with freed slaves, many stayed on after the war (or got back in after a short break) and served in the occupation army during Reconstruction. Many also stayed in when the Indian Wars fired up in the 1870s and 1880s. It was a magnet for young black men as it offered somewhat more equality (not full, of course), compared to sharecropping, manual labor or moving up north to work in textile mills - all at a reduced rate compared to white peers.
For former slaves, service in the army offered a compromise environment between the forced, chattel structure of slavery, and the wide open uncertainty of sudden freedom - freedom for which one might not be fully prepared for with a background as a slave.
It ultimately led to the full integration of the U.S. military (albeit more than 80 years after the end of the Civil War), over a decade in advance of our society at large. The Davises (Ben, Sr., and Ben, Jr.) were the first black general officers in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, respectively - and they and other black officers paved the way for the U.S. military to become the first, truly colorblind meritocratic institution of American society.

But you understand the premise --/ it's mainly jsut to have slaves descendants remember that their lineage probably doesn't start with slavery and it extends past the slave trade.
Can't take that literally

What happened? The great depression and WWII? Getting shut Out of the great deal and the GI bill?

I'm reading a book on the black civil war vets right now...I don't even feel worthy enough to read the book
I'm astounded by their bravery and valor. Does anyone know if there is a museum dedicated to these brave men? These men represented all the ideals we profess in our nation

1925 Vermont Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20001
And the big Buffalo Soldier museum is in Houston, which will cover some of the same ground.
