    It pisses me off James never showed Queen the slightest of affection even in private. He loved Easter but yet could
    not show that love towards his daughter. I know the times were different but everyone knew he was the father.

Paul wasn't writing his letters untill 300 (200?) years after the last Apostle died. That means no matter the good intentions of those who put it all on paper, they were still human and could corrupt the words and deeds of God with their own biases in the recollection.

      ⁠​⁠@@evelynannettegordon3697God’s punishment on His people for straying away from Him just like with Moses and Israel in Egypt . In the Bible it also says that as humanity strayed further away from the creator, He promised that His Spirit would no longer dwell with us. The privilege of being able to communicate with Him face to face was revoked. Now we seek His face through the savior, Yeshua . Yeshua is the mediator between humanity and The Most High . He is also the last sacrifice for our sins. Through his blood we are redeemed. Just like God forced pharaoh to let His People go, Caucasians were forced to let us go. The issue is we as a people keep straying from Him & His commandments. He is a good God…a just God. When we stray , we unknowingly give Satan legal right to put us in bondage.

Given how difficult things were for slaves and free men alike, she makes her life (and the lives of her black family and friends) harder than it needs to be.

    Queen Haley and I share the same birthday! Loved this movie as a kid, and still love it now!! When she is talking to her mother in her grave it breaks my heart. I suggest you read the book which is hard to find (try online), which is more detailed. This tells you who truly suffered under slavery, and racism. Not the brats of today who take everything for granted. Halle Berry has the most rarest, and amazing beauty on this earth!

    • @calba24
      @calba24 3 месяца назад +5

      Me too! I think sometimes how I was mistreated, and talked about like a dog, by other Black people just because I was bi-racial. This was years before being bi-racial is acceptable like it is today, but the racism came the most from other Black kids and they learned that from their family. I can relate to Queen when she said she was Black, and nobody would help her. It took me a long time to learn not be afraid of other Black people because of the mistreatment. My mom was a full-blooded Native American who was raised on our reservation, so she was naive on a lot of things about life off the reservation. Especially when she had 4 kids who were half Black. She could only teach me so much about dealing with others when it comes to racism. We lived in a Texas city that was small-minded at the time when it comes to race relations. As much as a lot of the Black kids talked about me daily, I couldn’t make it through the day without hearing someone had ‘Indian’ in them. I hear it so much I automatically tune those claims out. I now realize that it was all jealousy from those people because I came from the direct blood of someone who is, and the rest of our tribe. All those experiences made me stronger, learn to sympathize with others, realize not all Black people are not the same, and just be proud of who I am. I agree people do want to put someone in a box when it comes to being bi-racial. Black people want you to be Black, and whatever other culture we are made of wants you to act just like them. Society wants to make you choose, and it gets hard just trying to be yourself….

      I’m so mad at her for acting like telling him she wasn’t white like it was going to stop anything. White women get raped too. She act like she didn’t know that white men didn’t respect or look at black women as if they weren’t women. Especially, after her grandfather died from his assault trying to protect HER. His words, “ don’t tell them, don’t you ever tell them”! So she knew then. Passing for white make people even madder
