The Columbus one was yanked down too right? I think in VA?
We know enough about history to stop lionizing some of these motherfukkers.
I feel like there's an added outside force that's taking advantage of this anarchy to topple some of what's been weighing on us. It may have its own agenda but I welcome it.

I think COVID and the place it's put the world has been such a psychological mind changer.. People were asking themselves if the world's changed for good. And they saw in an instant it changed all across the world. All of us. So when this set off and it was so public. I remember the thread. I haven't even been in many of those threads for the repetition and lack of response but I was in that one. And the I can't breath phrase. It was so haunting cause I remember the last time it happened and the nba protested It's such a powerful phrase.
But back to COVID again. This is the one time in the world people have stopped their daily rat race grind for fear of infection. It's like now the entire community got time to point out wrongs.

That man killed more Congolese than Hitler killed Jews. They definitely are owed reparations.

Growing up in Congo I never really realized just how far behind it was compared to most African countries until I moved to Kenya before coming to the states. Belgium fked us up in so many ways.
Sema. I'm Kenyan. Yeah it was interesting how we were a hub for so many people. Rwandese as well after their war..
@Malcolmxxx_23 did you pass through Kenya as well?

Its kind of crazy that statues of this literal demon still exist in Belgium and in Congo. How repulsive

When you realize ADOS was far away in another land enslaved for centuries. And Africa was enslaved as well and millions. I mean I can't even fathom 10 million back in those days were being killed. And that was one country. You see we were never in a position to help one another and unite. Maybe now is the time. We are still being slaughtered here and there by proxy but we are getting stronger. The tipping point will be unity. Because with that unity what they did that worked against us.. Separating us.. Will affect them because now we are all over the world.

Yeah Belgium fukked you guys but not just during colonialism. Right at independence, backing that Katanga shyt with Moise Tshombe to steal the copper and divide the country, then with the US Lumumba's assasination and Mobutu's rule...let's not talk about the support for Rwanda during the civil war. If anybody deserves reparations in Africa the DRC is it.
and 
at the same time. No little black girl deserves that.
I’m sick. Cacs are something else.
They’re still committing atrocities too, completely fukked up the Middle East.
Yet mofos worldwide are anti-black. This world is insane.

The Congolese pay reparations to Belgium. All mining rights go to them
