(Discover America) Every Indigenous Native American tribe named in 22 minutes
Indigenous were everywhere on this continent
The U.S. genocide of 100,000,000 (one hundred million) decimated the Indigenous population of the people's land for people with land but wanting another different one. Welcome, "Pilgrims" (Occupiers), "Settlers" (invaders), friends and comrades against other European occupiers and exploiters from England and France and Spain.
After 400 years of white "supremacy" in America, a reckoning is here. These are the terms of peace -- and they are unconditional. Bring a sense of humor, because this is going to sting.
The legendary comedian/activist and author of the “hilarious yet soul-shaking” (Black Enterprise) bestseller How Not to Get Shot and Other Advice From White People returns to address a nation on the edge of civil war.
After centuries of oppressing others, Whites are in for a surprise: They’re about to become an oppressed minority themselves. Yes, the face of America is getting a lot browner — and a reckoning is coming.

Black and Brown folk are not taking a back seat anymore. It’s time to surrender unjust privileges and sue for peace while the getting’s good. Lucky for America, D.L. Hughley has a plan.
On the eve of America becoming a majority-minority nation, Hughley warns, the only way for America to move forward peacefully is if Whites face their history, put aside all their privilege and visions of superiority, and open up their institutions so they benefit everyone in this nation.
I represent Whites and pretend to be a leader.
But we can still have fun with this, right? Surrender, White People! hilariously holds America account for its wrongs and offers his satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation.
Reparations (monetary compensation from the government for an injustice by the government) are not new. Many people have gotten them, including slave owners, Italians, and others.
But when it comes to Blacks, who were promised them long ago, there's a taboo. It's unthinkable. They've been wronged and there's no making things right.
But it’s not all bad news, White folks. The upside is that if we put D.L.’s plan into effect, we can finally get black people to stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America.
Now, isn’t that something we ALL can get behind? Wouldn’t social justice and peace be better? Have a sense of humor, authors D.L. Hughley and Doug Moe do.More
Centuries ago, Whites told Blacks, “Pick the cotton if you don’t like getting whipped.” Today it’s, “Comply with all police orders if you don’t want to get shot.” Comedian/activist D.L. Hughley – one the original Kings of Comedy – confronts and remixes White people’s “advice” in this “hilarious examination of the current state of race relations in the United States” (Publishers Weekly).
Democracy Now! tells the story of Black Wall St. bombed by US military
As protests against police continue over their killing of blacks today (such as Terence Crutcher, Trevon Martin, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castille, etc. ad nauseum), Democracy Now! looks at "The Night Tulsa Burned" by the History Channel.
It is the hidden history of Tulsa, Oklahoma's white-against-black race massacre. It was May 31-June 1, 1921 when a giant white mob -- stirred up by the local paper -- killed an estimated 300 blacks. Their corpses were hidden and are still being dug up in forensic excavations. After a young black shoe shiner Diamond Dick Rowland, 19, stepped on the toe of his young white co-worker, a female elevator operator Sarah Page, 17, he was accused of assaulting her.
She was not interested in pressing charges, but an editorial called for a lynching. Over two days infuriated white mobs set fire to black businesses, homes, and Christian churches in Greenwood, a thriving black business district known at the time as the "Black Wall Street" of America. Local white police distributed guns and passed them out to whites, handing out ribbons as if to deputize them, and ordering them to "Get you a ]n-word]."
The U.S. Army joined the pogrom and massacre, bombing Black Wall Street from the air with barrel bombs and other incendiary devices. When the smoke cleared, the black area lay in ruins. Many blacks left to never return. The white National Guard rounded up thousands of others and detained them at various locations around the city.

Tribes in Columbia River Gorge hit by White House decision
SALEM, Oregon - The Trump administration is neglecting the U.S. government's obligation to build new homes for American Indians whose original abodes were submerged by dams along the Columbia River, members of Congressional delegations from Oregon and Washington state said.
The hundreds of tribal members are living in dilapidated trailers and other substandard housing along the Columbia River.
The promised new homes haven't been built yet even though decades have passed since the dams were built. Now a funding decision by the White House's Office of Management and Budget has put even the preparation work on hold. More Canada to pay reparations to First Nations

(FMT) An illegitimate mixed race daughter of a wealthy British aristocrat, a Royal Navy Admiral... based on a true story, "Belle" follows the story of an Dido Elizebeth Belle (played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw), the illegitimate mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral. Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle, Lord Mansfield, and his wife, Lady Mansfield, Dido's lineage affords her certain privileges, yet the color of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing. Left to wonder if she will ever find love (because she, unlike the women of her time, can afford to marry for love due to her handsome inheritance), Dido falls for an idealistic young [religieux, a] vicar's son bent on change who, with her help, shapes Lord Mansfield's role as Lord Chief Justice to end slavery in England.
An explosive new cover-story in the June 2014 issue of The Atlantic magazine by the famed essayist Ta-Nehisi Coates has rekindled a national discussion on reparations for American slavery and institutional racism.
Levittown, Penn. 1957 (AP/Bill Ingraham)
Coates explores how slavery, Jim Crow segregation, and federally-backed racist housing policy systematically and purposely robbed African Americans of their possessions [recapitulated in the recent Wall Street banking/mortgage housing bubble and foreclosure crisis] and prevented them from accruing inter-generational wealth.
Much of the essay focuses on predatory lending schemes that bilked
potential African-American homeowners, concluding: "Until we reckon
with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole." More
"Belle": Romance, Race, and Slavery with Jane Austen style
After the success of movies about the brutality of slavery, the film Belle brings a new perspective. Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw talks about her role as a mixed-race 18th century heroine.
British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw was brought up on Jane Austen adaptations. "You know, the Pride and Prejudice
with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle was something I watched on a weekly
basis with my mum at home in Oxfordshire," she tells NPR's [magnificent but exiting "Tell Me More" host] Michel
