Her family wealth probably started with her White ancestors. That was my point. If it didn't, then she would be one of the few lightbrites who's wealth didn't back during those times.
I didn't know that.most light skins who came from long lines of free people of color in the anglo-sphere of influence didn't inherit wealth like what was more common in the creole-gulf cost slave holding families
I didn't know that.
While they were confiscating Black wealth they gave whites opportunities and money.
I know this video is factual information and I'm not striking it down, but when we don't put out enough information on how we can prevent this from happening again, it begins to leave you with a feeling they can confiscating Black wealth once again if we outshine them, or if enough of us have something they don't have. It kinda gives their devil descendants who didn't know this part of their history encouragement to repeat it as well. I live in a city in the South around alot of Whites, although it's about half Black now. But these Blacks here show very little unity, especially with Black transplants. When Whites see this on the rise, it gives them just as much encouragement to strike as they do when they see us rising, if not more. You'd think Blacks down here would see this, but they continue to show Whites right in front of their faces that we have absolutely no plan to unite...smh.
Economy is a war tactic and strategy. That is how it’s approached. It’s a dirty game. Like open and proud white suprematist Richard Spencer stated. It’s not about fairness it’s about winning.
You sound scared.
I’m going to extend the family by a few more as they are connected to Chicago’s Supreme Liberty Life Insurance, where John H. Johnson launched his career.

The Vanishing of Harry Pace
It was Motown before Motown, FUBU before FUBU: Black Swan Records. The label founded 100 years ago by Harry Pace. Pace launched the career of Ethel Waters, inadvertently invented the term rock n roll, played an important role in W.C. Handy becoming "Father of the Blues," inspired Ebony and Jet magazines, and helped desegregate the South Side of Chicago in an epic Supreme Court battle. Then, he disappeared. The Vanishing of Harry Pace is a series about the phenomenal but forgotten man who changed America. It's a story about betrayal, family, hidden identities, and a time like no other.
From the team who brought you Dolly Parton’s America, Jad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee, this series was produced in collaboration with author Kiese Laymon, scholar Imani Perry, writer Cord Jefferson, and WQXR’s Terrance McKnight. Jami Floyd is our consulting producer; our fact checker is Natalie Meade. Based on the book Black Swan Blues: the Hard Rise and Brutal Fall of America’s First Black Owned Record Label by Paul Slade. The series features interviews with Pace's descendants and over forty musicians, historians, writers, and musicologists, all of whom grapple with Pace’s enduring legacy.
