      ​​​@@patriciacrawford2583 the truth is, (specifically the "problematic" people) They Truly Know we are the Earthly Truth. Our unstoppable capabilities knowing our amazing Truths, THAT is what scares the Truth outta them about us. We are absolutely the Earthly Beginning and the answer to far more than we may ever know, especially since they have gone to Immeasurable UnGodly Lengths to confuse and totally erase our truths in effort to leave us ignorant and hopeless about ourselves with every generation. ...a people wandering aimlessly. The affects of a pitiful people without a country, roots, nor a past is what they hoped to create. But prayerfully, the old adage will ever ring true that says, "What goes on in the dark will come to light." That our truths will continue to surface and be broadcast to us all around the world throughout the end of time. Their efforts to keep us uneducated, miseducated and Down remain works of The Wicked, and what The Bible says regarding the consequences for The Wicked is so fitting in this case. Still, in spite of ALL of their unthinkable efforts, Like the Sun... "Yet, we rise and shine brightly!" Keep striving, and thriving Y'all. ...and with every opportunity, do what's right, because it is the right thing to do. Let us be people of Great Integrity. ...and Remember, "Ain't no quit in us at all!!" ...and DOWN, IS NOT "A Thing" designated for us! I always say, "I will be found occupying until He comes or calls!" ...and know that Time is winding up. Get Ready, get Right, and let's go Home, Family! ❤❤❤❤❤...

Madame Shirley, you must admit, was a God send in the midst of all the hate and racism of the time. Not only does Delta Sigma Theta get to pay homage to the Queen, all Af-Am females stand in awe of her grace, intelligence and poise! Now, we have a Vice President (AKA) who has repented this county with grace, intelligence and poise! Shine on ladies...

Even she didn't win and it was really tragedic,she tought us to be crazy and change the world to the best. She even became more popular. She didn't give up. All the politicians that were at the same with her are forgotten. And only she stays in our hearts 💕💖❤ as lesson to continue to fight with unfairness❤❤❤

    Thanks Regina King for bringing her story to light. "Before a woman can become president, she'll have to be Vice President first." The foresight she had back then. She was truly underestimated. The saddest thing is the immaturity within the House today.

You could not scare Madame Chisholm - no way - she was not afraid of the establishment of men who did not like her. I was so proud to be a woman of color during her time and prayed no one would hurt her.

    Growing up my Mom made sure we knew about Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. Mom later became the Whip of the State House in MO.

    Heard her speak at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Atlanta in 1981. She was an electric speaker. Extremely charismatic.

      +Lechiffresix six I'm 61. No, my first time to vote was 1972 but I was politically aware and active by 1968 when I was a youth volunteer for Bobby Kennedy in the primaries. Thank you.

      Kathleen Pfeiffer 61 ? my mistake, No offense but I thought you were in your late 40s max.People that age were barely out of Kindergarten when Mrs Chisholm made history. but you've been involved since the early 70s . you are very committed.We need more of this today.

    • @pfeifferpack
      @pfeifferpack 8 лет назад +3

      +Lechiffresix six You just made my day! I thank Lady Clairol LOL. I agree we need that sort of commitment and involvement. Too many battles still to be fought and some re-fought, all our gains need to be guarded. I had hoped things would have improved more by now but that doesn't mean giving up. Being silent and uninvolved make it easier for wrongs to continue.

    But like then, we have today Black people black me not supporting the black woman and her endeavors or any black person in their endeavors. We are more against each other today than you all were in her day.

      Unity is an issue WE as AF-AM have for face and deal with. It all started in slavery, taught to spy on one another, envy one another, think we were better than one another. Enslave, brainwashed habits are hard to break. Those who would ignorantly say, "Slavery is over!" you are just uneducated in the American Political System of Government. WE must teach our children, at home, church and civic organization bc they will not get it in schools.

    The formative years of being raised in Barbados.🇧🇧 She still had her Bajan accent. She would be proud to see that Mia Mottley is Barbados’ first Prime Minister and she showed her ability to be a forward thinker. ‘A woman has to vice president before one can become president.’ Kamala Harris.
