‼️Ever noticed how every U.S. racial classification goes into very specific detail regarding the lands in which each race originates from—and refers to them as the ORIGINAL PEOPLES?
White: “...ORIGINAL PEOPLES of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa" (bet you didn't know that the US classifies Middle Easterners as "white" 😉).
Asian: “...ORIGINAL PEOPLES of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China...”
American Indian: “...ORIGINAL PEOPLES of North, Central, and South America (including Central America)...”
Pacific Islander: “...ORIGINAL PEOPLES of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa…” _________________
But for us?
Black or African American: “A person having origins in the Black racial groups of Africa.”
I can type that entire "definition" out because it's so short and sweet.
No details. No specific regions. No specific nations. No mention of "original peoples," even though we're supposed to all originate from where they say we do 🤔
That’s not an oversight—that’s intentional erasure.
They didn’t create the label “Black” to connect us to our origins. They created it to pull us away from them; to sever our ties, flatten our identity, and drop us into the back of the racial "RACE" (competition).
It’s a game, friends. That's what Kendrick meant when he opened his performance as "The Great American Game."
And they've done everything under the sun to ensure we don't win.
Channeling Truth
