Post: You ever heard of a US death camp for freed slaves run by Union soldiers ? No, that's the point. After the Civil War, over twenty thousand newly freed black people fled to Natchez, Mississippi for safety. The Union army forced thousands of them, mostly women and children, into a deep ravine known as the Devil's Punchbowl. It wasn't shelter. It was a prison surrounded by guards, disease, starvation, and no escape. They died by the thousands, so many that locals say the ground still weeps. But here's the kicker, It wasn't Confederates who did this. It was the Union. There are no memorials, no school lessons, us trees, and silence. Why ? Because acknowledging this would mean admitting that racism wasn't just a Southern thing. It was American. This is your reminder. Freedom isn't just about emancipation. It's about what happens next and who gets erased in the process. Comment and share, So so others will know this tragedy. Their story is our history. Share, believe, inspire blacks, be.

Post: You really think Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves out of the kindness of his own heart ? It's kind of hard to do when your heart is black. He wanted us gone as an out of the country of the continent, like forever. Let's squash his fairytale right now. Abraham Lincoln did not believe in racial equality. He didn't think black folks and white folks should or could coach exist. He said it himself. An eighteen fifty eight. During a debate, Lincoln told the crowd, and I quote, I am not nor ever have been in favor in any way of bringing about the social and political equality of the white and black races. That part always gets left out. For some reason. When he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and eighteen sixty three, it wasn't some moral awakening. It was a war tactic. He freed and slayed people in Confederate states, not on the northern border. Stays right because he wanted to destabilize the South, not uplift black lives. But here's the part they really don't want you to know. Lincoln did not want black people to stay in America. He wanted to deport rt us. He pushed colonization plans to send free black people to places like Central America, Haiti, even Liberia, that one trip, not a few volunteers, mass removal, and eighteen sixty two. He brought black leaders to the White House, and he said It is better for us to be separated. He told them himself that black people and white people live living together wasn't realistic. He encouraged them to convince others to leave. That's the great emancipator, a man who couldn't imagine a future with us in it. Funny because he didn't stay around long after that, Diddy. He's all black people as a problem to be exported, not citizens, not equals, just inconvenient remnants of a system he didn't even have the guts to fully denounce. Whenever you hear somebody romanticizing Lincoln, remind them that he didn't free us because he loved us. He freed us because he couldn't figure out how to get rid of us fast enough. The only reason colonization didn't happen was because black people said no because we knew this was our land too. We built to blood for it and we weren't going anywhere. Let them keep their statues in their myths. We're gonna keep the truth, share, believe, inspire blacks, be.
