Powerful Black Images

white715

This thread is a thread dedicated to Black power, Black knowledge, Black love, and Black achievement, but we shouldn't forget about black struggle and suffering both past and present.
I was hesitant to post this photo and when I first seen it it disturbed me beyond words, but we as human beings (and black people especially) shouldn't turn a blind eye to the suffering of our own here or back in Africa regardless how difficult it is to face.

Arrive to Geb, to roar with Bast, "Aton Tamu" as I ride the raft,"

This is hands down one of the most powerful collection of historical black photos I have ever viewed!

In Vietnam in the Southeast Asia is The Cham Museum which holds the largest collection sculpture and artwork from the kingdom of Champa of ancient Vietnam. It was descibed as Lin-yi in Chinese records from as early as 192 C.E. Lin-yi meant the “land of black men.” The Cham seem to have possessed what appears to have been a strong Melanesian element and are believed to have settled along the coastal plains of mid-southern Vietnam more than two millennia ago. Another view is that the Cham were actually Black colonists from south India. The kingdom of Champa controlled what is now south and central Vietnam from approximately 192 through 1697. At present, the museum houses 297 stone and terracotta sculptural works made between the 7th and the 15th centuries

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez stated in an interview while visiting the United States “When we were children, we were told that we have a motherland and that motherland was Spain. However we have discovered later in our lives that as a matter of fact we have several motherlands. And one of the greatest motherlands of all is no doubt, Africa. We love Africa. And every day we are much more aware of the roots we have in Africa… Hate against me has a lot to do with racism. Because of my big mouth, because of my curly hair. And I’m so proud to have this mouth and this hair, because it’s African.” VENEZUELA PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ ACKNOWLEDGING HIS AFRICAN ROOTS.

Blacks were worshiped all over the globe at one point (especially dark skin).

It's not a coincidence that people of color, look down upon dark skin now (North America, South America, India, parts of Africa, even Black people here in America, etc.).

Now we are looked at with contempt?

That shit seems planned.

This is a Georgia State Trooper in riot gear at a Klu Klux Klan protest in northern Georgia in the 1980s. In front of him is a child in the white hat and cape of a Klan member. The child clearly does not understand what is happening, he is just curious about this new toy that shows his reflection.
