Citizenship wasn't given until 1866-1868, and so much was/is still kept from black people
Yes! Black people need to get their props (I don't say "we" or "us" cuz it feels a little strange, I wasn't born in America, so I want to celebrate African Americans). African Americans are a large factor in keeping the economy going, whether they choose to spend the money or they are robbed by interest rates. We need to put our money in our own businesses ("we" because all black people in America... I'm complicated 🤦🏿♀️)
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾And we still struggle with all the loop holes and “unqualified” statements they pin on us. I’m making it a point/extra efforts to support our own black communities in everything from hair/skin care to merchants/grocery stores to clothes as much as possible. We built “America” it’s about time we get our props cause Lord knows they sure didn’t give us that 40 acres and that mule👀✊🏾.
