African King Who Almost Bankrupted Britain With A Lawsuit For Killing 2.4 Million Of Bunyoro People |

More than a decade ago, a half-forgotten colonial expedition to subjugate what British colonialists considered a quarrelsome African kingdom more than a century ago could have left Britain bankrupt if a Ugandan king succeeded in bringing a £3.7 trillion suit against the Crown.

According to a report by Telegraph, in 2004, Rukirabasaija Solomon Gafabusa Iguru I, the omukama of Bunyoro―a kingdom in western Uganda―at the time had never forgiven the British for the disposition of his grandfather, Chwa II Kabalega, and for stealing his cattle during a five-year war in the 1890s.

Starting the conversation… “How can I be a Anti Racist”?

Hi everyone,

Because of everything that’s going on right now as far as race and racism is concerned, I thought I’d start a blog series about staring and continuing this conversation about race that I think is long overdue in this country, the U.S.A.

So, I decided to post videos about this subject here, and other videos after these I will title, “Continuing the conversation”.

I’m gonna begin with these 2 videos, one from Jubilee, and a reply of this video by Aba and Preach.

I hope you enjoy these videos, and feel free to comment.

Black Iraqis say George Floyd’s death sheds light on their own centuries-long plight – The National

They say racial discrimination against them is on par with the racism experienced by African Americans, sometimes even surpassing it, as they not only face a lack of recognition, but also economic, political and social atrocities.
Many of them are descendants of African slaves brought to Iraq and have lived in the southern city of Basra for centuries.
They want recognition as a minority group whose rights should be protected, but some told The National that their demands have been ignored by the Iraqi government.
Many say they are unfairly represented and want to prohibit being called “slaves”, especially as the burdens of their ancestors continue to haunt them.

Denzel Washington Explains Systemic Racism – YouTube

Denzel Washington Explains Systemic Racism: Washington a legendary actor, his views on American’s criminal justice systems and that black incarceration finds its roots in fatherless home. This is a really important message for liberals to take in. Remember, this is a man who portrayed Malcolm X on film. He’s very well aware of the institutional racism that existed from slavery through to the Jim Crow laws in America. That is no longer the reality in modern day America. Self accountability is so much more important than blaming a system that is not against you. Victim culture helps no one prosper. This is quite showing. Morgan Freeman, knows that race is irrelevant and should never be. In this interview with Mike Wallace, and Don Lemon Morgan Freeman is spot on. Racism ends when it isn’t seen as a relevant point anymore. This is how you end racism. Not through some affirmative action, no quotas, no special privileges for minorities. Especially not guilt tripping white people because they had it better in the past. Just treat everyone as an equal and you get equality.

A Former Baltimore Cop Explains Why the Department Targets Black Men – YouTube

This past year has seen an enormous amount of attention paid to the toxic divide between police departments and the poor, black communities they serve. One thing we’ve learned is that tribal loyalty often prevents police officers from criticizing each other or their departments publicly—and at least sometimes, they lie when one of their own faces charges of misconduct. That’s why the recent emergence of Michael Wood Jr., a retired Baltimore cop, as a critic of law enforcement culture landed with impact: His voice was the relatively rare one that spoke with the knowledge of an insider but the unforgiving skepticism of an outsider.

In this video, you’ll meet Wood while he drives the streets of the city where he served as a police officer for 11 years, and hear him lay out his conception of what’s going wrong in the world of policing and how it could be made right.
