Why Things are the Way They are Today, thanks to THE CENTURIES of Yesterday....

Good Noon-Time to You FROM PHILADELPHIA...!

One thing that I ALWAYS make sure to EXPLAIN.

Is when I talk about or type about "the way things used to be".

Because it is critical that I make sure NOT TO ALLOW MYSELF TO GET LUMPED IN WITH ANY OTHER RACE.

Because Yesterday for Black-Americans & Black-People, Our Race in general?

We'd have to go back OVER A 1000-YEARS to HONESTLY be able to "enjoy", Our Yesterdays.

Do You understand what I mean by that, what I just typed?

The Last 1000-Years of Black-Humanity History has been a horror show for Us as a collective. And We aren't doing nearly enough to ACCEPT THAT & CORRECT THAT FACT.

We have been enslaved by two specific regions of the Human-Race & then EXPORTED all over the World. We have LOST, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE & PRESTIGE. And We are FIRMLY ROOTED TO THE BOTTOM OF HUMANITY, with many other Races of Humanity ABSOLUTELY DEPENDENT UPON US STAYING ON THE BOTTOM.

I can't simply say, or type, how "great", yesterday was. Without making sure THAT I UNDERSTAND, that Our Yesterdays...?

Aren't filled with peace & prosperity & stability.

They are filled with injustice, inhumanity, empty, & false promises & propositions, many of which were blatantly obvious, to be false, & fail in the End.

We have to stop pretending & playing games about how precarious Our Present-Day EXISTENCE IS, and?

How it has ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY, for over a millennium.

And let's not cave to Spookism.

This isn't some "divine curse" or "divine retribution".

This is SHITTY AWARENESS & PATTERN RECOGNITION ON OUR PART AS A RACE.

Something THAT IS EXTREMELY SOLVABLE & CORRECTABLE.

So don't, DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF, to try to HIDE, in yet another, COMFORTABLE-LIE.

DON'T DISPLACE YOUR ROLE IN HELPING TO TURN THE TIDE FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE.

By TRYING TO HIDE BEHIND SPOOKISM.

By trying to CLAIM, that YOUR ACTIONS & REACTIONS AREN'T CONTRIBUTING, to Our Current Racial-Situation.

I type all of this because I needed to once again show You, WHY WHITES DO NOT WANT ACTUAL BLACK-AMERICAN HISTORY NOR BLACK-HUMAN HISTORY, to have A VOICE OF ITS OWN.

Because THEIR OWN HISTORY...?

Is filled with FACTS like this one, where, as Usual, their constant LYING about what HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED, versus what THEY WANT TO CLAIM FOR CONVENIENCE.

Causes Whites to then walk into situations like this one, where, as I keep typing, & I keep saying, having had to learn this lesson the hard way Myself:

"What's the History...?"

Well?

Here's some more of it....

Women’s history museum renames foundation following namesake’s Pro-Slavery past

By LUKE PARKER lparker@chespub.com

CENTREVILLE — The Maryland Museum of Women’s History announced on Juneteenth that it will be abandoning the name of its foundation, the Mary Edwardine Bourke Emory Foundation, after discovering the pro-slavery sentiments of its namesake.

“We did not know or comprehend the depth of her attachment to slavery when we founded the organization,” a press release from the museum stated.

“It was not until we began working on our exhibit these past 10 months that we discovered her virulent pro-slavery writings, her enormous support for slavery, and her belief in its necessity and rewards.”

The writings, from a first edition copy of “Colonial Families and Their Descendants,” will still be featured as part of the museum’s first major exhibit, “Enslavement to Emancipation: Voices Not Heard,” but the facility is adamant about separating itself from Emory.

“We cannot take and accept her name,” said Mary Margaret Revell Goodwin, the museum’s president and CEO. “We have to divest ourselves completely of that.”

The museum will now be registered under The Maryland Museum of Women’s History.

While this redaction is the first effort by the museum to distance itself from the Emory legacy, it is not the first time the facility has bumped into issues involving the Emory family. The foundation initially entered a 24-year lease of Emory’s historic home, the Bloomfield Manor on what is now White Marsh Park, as the location for the museum. But Goodwin had to abandon those plans last summer after restrictions on the property from the museum’s primary funding source, the Maryland Historic Trust, led to disagreements with County Administrator Todd Mohn.

The museum, which is not yet open to the public, is now located on Turpins Lane in Centreville, according to its website.

Emory wrote her book towards the end of the 19th century in an effort to repurchase her manor, which she lost in 1893. She accomplished that goal soon after her genealogy book was published by the Baltimore Sun in 1900.

Despite the Emory family’s part in chronicling the county’s past – Mary’s son, Frederick, wrote the early history of Queen Anne’s County – the museum has severe doubts about the validity of their accounts, especially as they pertain to slavery.

According to the museum’s press release, Frederick Emory’s history only mentions slavery once, detailing a slave who was forced into guiding British forces to Queenstown. And in “Colonial Families,” the museum uncovered a severe discrepancy in its description of a Reed’s Creek slave who served in the Union Army.

Whereas Emory wrote the slave, named “Pif” in the book with quotations, ran away from the plantation, a receipt from the Union Army to “Pif’s” master verified the slave’s enlistment into the army. According to Goodwin, “Pif” was put into the army by his master in order to protect Emory’s “precious house.”

The museum’s president suggested Emory’s falsehoods concerning “Pif” stemmed from the author’s “deep favor of slavery” and general distaste for Union forces.

“Much of his story is total fabrication,” the museum announced. “Apart from being an out and out lie, it is deliberately demeaning.”
