Yahweh

I must say I saw a review of this app and one brother put it so beautifully it brought tears to my eyes.Some folks are truly not seekers of the most high and are simply trained and willing to continue a lie until it becomes truth.lots of blacks are not aware that a majority of us are Hebrews and the original Hebrews way before the Arab conquest and our history doesn’t begin in the 16 th century when Europeans started recording their so called time.Time will tell and logic will tell you simply can’t continue going against the natural order and expect good to come back forever.Judgement cometh.Chickens are Coming home

Absolutely Trash

We all know this was not written by a black person.

Great Series ✨

1986 Zulu remake in the mix @BETNetworks ?

Thank you BET

I just love how it tells you about and what black people have to go through back then.

The Book of Negroes - thank you BET!

I had an opportunity to finally view the miniseries and was completely enamored with the this story of survival and love. I want to thank BET for bringing this story to life. There are so many stories of Black people forced into slavery who fought back and survived. Unfortunately, these stories are not readily available nor taught I our schools
