I had to google that pic to make sure it was real. Thought some of those presidents finally grew a pair but it turns out that It was just a satirical travel advisory drafted by a Kenyan cartoonist.

I dunno, man.

I feel like the whole Keanu-Jesus thing is just The Matrix and maybe another movie or two tops.

^damn man, interesting stuff up there.

Gry60, I saw you posting about Africans fighting in WW1 and WW2. Any links to more info and specifically on German colonies. I learned last year that
Cameroon and Togo were German colonies that were ceded to the French and British. Any info would be appreciated.

 

[gry60]

Google "Rhineland bastards" to read about Afro-German life before and during the third reich.

Found this link too. I've only skimmed it and there seems to be a lot of info in the comments:

http://www.dreamdeferred.org.uk/2014/04/the-holocausts-forgotten-victims-the-rhineland-bastards/

I will add more names/links to check out on the subject later. There is much more stuff available in german that hasn't been translated in english though.

Thanks man will look into it when I get some time.

Yea, put me on to ALEC and the foolishness they do. But other than that, it was stuff I knew already, still great for those that didn't know.

People ignore the fact that we were in Germany too being mistreated because, u know, it's convenient.

What I learned most from it was convict leasing. There's a book I've been wanting to get that was about how blacks were reenslaved in the south during the late 1800s to about WWII called Slavery By Another Name

 

[tommyicerocking]

any books similar to Malcolm X Autobio

the best book i ever read, i'll like to see another book give me that kind of insight on black culture

Edit: I was thinking about editing my post above about Blacks in Germany when I came across this:

During Hitler’s pre-war years, IBM helped the Reich cross-index those identified as Jews in the census with professional and industry registers and organizations. Once German Jews were exposed in their professions, they were summarily fired.

They did a doc about it on PBS, I watched it. Would hit em w/ the "You stole this land, you're going to jail" even though they leased the land from the owner Crazy
