As a Black America I really appreciate your commentary on the slave mart in NYC. I've never heard of anyone speaking of this before. You force us to subscribe with your brilliance! I'm tuned in!!!

Brother I'm from NYC and use to work on Wallstreet , there was a Slave Burial Ground I use pass everyday on my way to work. I use to Work for Goldman Sachs, Spiritually I couldn't handle it and walked away from a six figure salary I stop telling stories from the inside because it fell on deaf ears, and my friends would dismiss them, they were so far removed from the places people and thing I was prevy too That it sounds like a SiFi or Folk Tale Story to them. Working there I saw first hand that Satan is very real...

@@christinajones7696 It would sound like science fiction ... But I'll tell you one thing to see how you'll digested it.. The Probabilty of World Trade Center Bombings were discussed yrs and yrs before it actually happened. At the time, in 90's it was like "Yeah Right never happen" in 2021 30yrs later it's a conspiracy theory 🤷‍♂️ I'm uncomfortable talking about some of the stuff, it's just one of those things you'd have to be there . I was there, before, during and after.

My grandpa told me about the Subway Vigilante earlier this year. A few years ago there was an art installation in the old Domino Sugar factory in Williamsburg highlighting the slaves who worked on the sugar. There were statues made of sugar including slave children and a huge mammy-spinx. It smelled terrible in there, but it was a great exhibition. The artist is Kara Walker.

@@user-nj1zu2nf1x actually yes. They’ve built around it. There are luxury buildings and a cute little park on the waterfront called Domino Park. Not sure what they’ve done (if anything) with that particular building. I also haven’t been out there in almost a year, so I’m not sure if the photos on google are just renderings or not.

Thank you for this. My mother’s side of the family is from New York, Philly, and Massachusetts since the the colonial period. People assume I am descended from only free African-Americans but I know different. Family lore has it that one of my East Coast ancestors was an escaped slave from Trinidad. My 23 and Me results confirmed my Trinidadian roots. My maternal grandfather, born in 1900, was a New Yorker by way of Barbados. My father’s side is from Ohio by way of Kentucky. Perhaps from a large plantation because there’s a town there named after a white “settler” and “farmer” with our last name, a name which a lot of Black people from Kentucky share. I am a true child of the African diaspora. ❤️🖤💚
