We gonna drag this Kanye "400 years sounds like a choice" thing all the way out huh? He really shouldn't have said that. Given that the agenda he pushed (with the help of that woman) has muddy the conversation unnecessarily.

Liberty or Death clearly wasn't an original idea by the colonials. These Africans were really about that. Unfortunately, the other Africans didn't find out until it was too late. :wow:

Rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

I would hope if push comes to shove, I would be able to live up to this idea. It's something I've thought about regarding slavery and how it is very telling that many slave owners viewed their slaves as being "ruined" if they learned how to read. Slaves once they were exposed to a life outside of slavery and ideas outside of slavery were willing to risk life and limb in pursuit of liberty than to be enslaved and fed by a "master". Especially when the cost is abuse.

There are higher causes and goals for a lot of people in life than creature comforts.

That’s not fair. Choosing to take your life is not easy. No one was wrong. We all cope differently.

I think we'd all like to think that.

You don't know what kind of man you truly are until your last moments :mygawd:

:mjlol:

If Igbo militants had time machines - the wonders we would achieve!

Igbos were surrounded by the Nigerian Army and their allies (USSR, Britain, Egypt, Algeria:mjpls:) and managed to build armoured personnel carriers, rockets, fuel from palm oil and other devices

Well most blacks live on there knees in the states so.....
Also living in those conditions only to survive a persevere like Harriet Tubbman, Douglass and others is as honorable as this.
