The January 6th Committee was made up of the House select committee to find information about the attempted January 6th coup d'etat against American democracy. It wanted to find the truth and make sure that people know who is responsible for the terrorist attack. Their final report will be sent to the DOJ or the Department of Justice. The DOJ must decide to investigate or charge Trump and his allies who are responsible for the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and the near coup d'etat against the American government. The Justice Department has its own separate investigation too. The testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson made the DOJ to increase its investigation. If it wasn't for the testimony of Hutchinson, my personal opinion is that the DOJ would never have charged anyone in the future. The Chair is Bennie Thompson, and the Vice Chair is Liz Cheney. Other members of the committee are Zoe Lofgren of California, Adam Schiff of California, Pete Aguilar of California, Stephanie Murphy of Florida, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, and Elaine Luria of Virginia. There are many senior staff for the committee. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi first said that she would appoint a select committee to investigate the events after the plan for a commission failed by a filibuster of the Senate (or it wasn't bicameral). The vote for it was 222 to 190. By July 1, 2021, Pelosi appointed eight members to be part of the committee. The investigation by the House Committee is ongoing. Public hearings started on July 27, 2021. By the end of 2021, the committee interviewed more than 300 witnesses and had more than 35,000 documents. By 2022, there were over 1,000 witnesses and 125,000 records. Some interviews were recorded. Donald Trump could be charged with obstruction of the electoral certification proceedings and could carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Other possible charges are dereliction of duty in not stopping the riot and seditious conspiracy. By May 2, 2022, Fulton County's District Attorney Fani Willis opened a special grand jury to consider criminal charges in the state of Georgia.
The committee's first public testimonies came on July 27, 2021. Many people testified like the four police officers on the front line as terrorists attacked the U.S. Capitol. Both Thompson and Cheney gave opening statements. The officers who testified are Daniel Hodges, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn, and Aquilino. By August 27, 2021, the committee demanded records from 15 social media companies going back to the spring of 2020. By September 22, 2021, the Guardian reported that the committee has considered issuing subpoenas for call records or testimony of senior Trump administration officials like Meadows, Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, and former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale. On September 23, 2021, the House Committee sent subpoenas to Meadows, Scavino, chief strategist Steve Bannon, Pentagon official, and former Devin Nunes aide Kash Patel. Documents are demanded by October 7. Bannon and Patel are instructed to testify before the committee on October 14, and Meadows and Scavino on October 15. Meadows is granted a postponement and rescheduled for November 12.
On October 21, 2021, all 220 House Democrats and 9 House Republicans vote in favor of the resolution to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress, a majority that refers Bannon's case to the Justice Department. The Justice Department is deciding whether to prosecute Bannon. A conviction could take years, according to Stanley Brand, former general counsel to the House of Representatives. CNN reports that Cheney and Kinzinger have interviewed former Trump director of strategic communications Alyssa Farah. She had resigned in December 2020 and told CNN after the January 6 attack that Trump had lied to the American people about the election results on October 22, 2021. On November 8, 2021, the committee issued subpoenas for six people: Trump 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien; campaign senior advisor Jason Miller; former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn; conservative lawyer and former professor John Eastman; Angela McCallum, executive assistant to the campaign; and Bernard Kerik, a Trump ally who participated in meetings at the Willard Hotel regarding efforts to overturn the election. Ten other Trump officials and aides are subpoenaed the next day: former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany; senior advisor for policy Stephen Miller; Trump bodyman Nicholas Luna; White House personnel director John McEntee; Ken Klukowski, senior counsel to assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark; deputy chief of staff Chris Liddell; Oval Office operations coordinator Molly Michael; special assistant for legislative affairs Cassidy Hutchinson; Benjamin Williamson, senior advisor to chief of staff Mark Meadows; and Mike Pence's national security advisor, Keith Kellogg. All 16 people were required to provide documents by November 23 and scheduled to testify under oath through December. Alex Jones was subponeaed in November 22, 2021 along with Roger Stone, and other people. On that day, Robert Patrick Lewis, chairman of 1st Amendment Praetorian, a group alleged to have provided security at several rallies before January 6, is also subpoenaed that day.
The Guardian reported that on the night before the January 6 attack, Trump made several calls to his associates at the Willard Hotel, where a command center or "war room" had been established in a set of rooms and suites. Present at the Willard was a team led by Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, Bannon, Eastman, and Boris Epshteyn. Michael Flynn, Roger Stone and Bernard Kerik were also present. Trump called to convey that Pence would not agree to employ the Pence Card to overturn the electoral vote, as proposed by Eastman and discussed in an Oval Office meeting on January 5. He discussed ways to delay the certification in order to get alternate slates of electors for Trump sent to Congress, as he, Giuliani and Eastman had discussed by conference call with 300 state legislators on January 2. The Guardian reported that Trump discussed some topics only with lawyers at the Willard so as to preserve the confidentiality afforded by attorney-client privilege. By December 1, 2021, the committee voted unanimously to hold Jeffrey Clark in contempt of Congress. However, he is also given a new deposition date of December 4. This is because Clark has said that he plans to invoke the Fifth Amendment, which protects people from being forced to self-incriminate.
Mike Pence was asked to talked to the House committee by early January of 2022. On March 31, 2022 Jared Kushner voluntarily spoke to the committee for six hours. He was the highest-ranking Trump administration official interviewed to date, as well as the first Trump family member to be interviewed. By June 2, 2022, Bill Barr gave an in person testimony behind closed doors for 2 hours. The FBI arrested Peter Navarro on June 3, 2022 because of the grand jury's indictment for contempt of Congress. By June 12, 2022, the night before the second public hearing, committee members Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin told news outlets there is enough evidence to recommend that the Justice Department indict President Donald Trump.
This day of the late June 2022 testimony to the January 6th hearing is the most emotional part of the whole hearing. There is no moderation here. With this evidence, Trump and his allies involved in the conspiracy to overthrow the election of 2020 should be arrested and tried in court ASAP. When you have Trump trying to convince a Georgia Attorney General to commit election fraud and the Georgia Attorney General refused to do so, then Trump is complicit in a federal violation of the law. When you have Trump falsely calling a black woman election worker a criminal and a "hustler," you can tell immediately that Donald Trump is a racist and sexist liar. Also, Trump allies harassed and threatened a black woman election worker and her mother in vulgar ways. This is no time for centrist nonsense. This is a time for accountability and justice.
All of the testimony confirms what we knew about Trump and his supporters. Trump is a neo-fascist. Every Trump supporter is wrong period. All Trump supporters, involved in the conspiracy to overthrow the election of 2020, are criminals and traitors to American democracy period. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, deputy Gabe Sterling, Arizona House of Representatives Speaker Rusty Bowers (who gave emotional words on his duty to follow the Constitution despite the false narratives made by Trump, Guiliani, and others), and election worker Wandrea "Shaye" Moss gave hard-hitting testimony about their experiences. Raffensperger found no evidence of election fraud. Brad faced threats and harassment to himself and his family. Sterling said that Qanon supporters threatened people. Wandrea Moss was accused by Trump and others of using a fake ballot scheme in Fulton County, Georgia. That was a lie. Wandrea Moss also said that she and her family received threats. Many people illegally came into Moss's grandmother's home. Wandrea faced racist and hateful threats via Facebook. Her mother is Ruby Freeman. To this day, Wandrea and her mother fear for their lives from far-right extremists. Far-right extremists are terrorists, plain and simple. If anyone watched the testimonies from all of these witnesses, you should know that Trump should be arrested and convicted of treason against the United States of America after a trial. It is the human testimonies describing the seriousness of the time that we live that should inspire us to defeat fascism once and for all. This is the most serious threat to our nation since the American Civil War. These GOP extremists aren't playing any games. The DOJ must do the right thing. Therefore, we should not only vote them out of office, but we should cultivate a society where democratic freedoms are strengthened plus preserved.
On June 23, 2022, live witnesses during this fifth public hearing were former officials of the Department of Justice during the Trump administration. They described how Trump tried to enlist the Justice Department in his fight to overturn the 2020 presidential election. In videotaped testimony at the committee's fifth public hearing, it is revealed that Representatives Matt Gaetz, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, and Louie Gohmert asked for pardons at the end of the Trump administration. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene may also have asked for a pardon, according to a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
By late June of 2022, former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson gave a bombshell, shocking testimony to Congress. Even now, it's a lot to digest. This information increases the chance of Donald Trump and others to be finally charged for many crimes. In the meantime, it's time to review Hutchinson's testimony. Hutchinson has sworn under oath these words. This is all of her eyewitness accounts of the nature of the Trump White House. She gave words to expose the abusive, nefarious, lying, and barbaric actions of former President Donald Trump. This is why I didn't vote for Trump in 2020. She said that Trump and his inner circle were warned about the potential for violence on January 6, 2021, and how Trump wanted to join the terrorists at the U.S. Capitol who caused the insurrection. She said that Trump knew that the terrorists had weapons and didn't care. Hutchinson cooperated with the House select committee in a very transparent fashion. She said that when the crowd of terrorists wanted to hang Mike Pence, Trump supported the chant and said that Pence deserved it. Hutchinson said that Trump was in a Presidential vehicle wanting to go to the Capitol riot. Secret Service refused, so Trump tried to grab the wheel and assault a Secret Service agent. They got Trump and placed him in the White House. He blamed Meadows for not going to the terrorist event. Recently, some Secret Service agents denied that Trump wanted to fight agents or grabbed the steering wheel.
Hutchinson, under oath, said that Trump was personally aware of the threat of violence in the U.S. Capitol. Trump was told that weapons were confiscated from many of his supporters who came for the rally. She said that Trump wanted to take the metal detectors away. It is incredible evidence of Trump doing nothing and desiring to allow terrorists to carry weapons to the U.S. Capitol. The insurrectionists had body armor and weapons when they terrorized the U.S. Capitol. Trump is obviously an active collaborator in the insurrection overtly. White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said that people are going to die as a product of the riot, and Meadows refused to confront Trump about Mike Pence's life being in danger. Meadows supports the election lie. Hutchinson said that Trump was cursing in the White House, throwing food on the walls, stripping away tables, etc. Liz Cheney said that there might be evidence of witness tampering too. Democratic Chair of the committee Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi wants more cooperation to come. The habitual liar Trump has denied all allegations, but he is guilty of the coup attempt against American democracy. Cipollone warned that if the White House would go to the Capitol, they will be charged with every crime possible. Hutchinson could have the John Dean moment in relation to the House January 6th committee investigation event. Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony changes everything because she is a first-hand witness to these occurrences. Donald Trump must be held accountable for his treasonous actions.
On July 12, 2022, at the eventh public hearing, Representative Liz Cheney revealed that Donald Trump had called one of the committee's witnesses. That person did not answer Trump's call. The witness was said to be someone who had not yet testified publicly. The person was later further identified (but not named) as a White House support staffer who did not routinely speak to Trump and who had been speaking to the committee. The phone call had happened sometime within the previous two weeks, following Cassidy Hutchinson's public testimony.
There are many icons of Texas who made great contributions to the movement for freedom. The late Lulu Belle Madison White lived from August 31, 1907, to July 6, 1957 as a teacher and civil rights activist. She was President of the Houston chapter of the NAACP (or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). She helped to double the amount of Houston members in the NAACP from 1943 to 1948. She was born in Elmo, Texas. Her father inspired her to get an education. Elmo was so racist back then that, that White was inspired to fight for civil rights. She graduated from Prairie View A&M University. She worked hard to fight for the right of African Americans to have the right to vote. White believed that black Americans should have equal civil liberties and equal economic opportunities. She wanted economic justice for black people. She passed away by a heart disease situation, but she is a hero. The NAACP created the Lulu White Freedom Fund in her honor.
There are 2 major groups trying to infiltrate the legitimate reparations movement for black Americans. These groups exploited the legitimate grievances of our people to promote division among the black African Diaspora (as I believe in Pan-African unity as we are all Brothers and Sisters in the human family). First, I will expose the ADOS movement and then the FBA Movement. First, The ADOS Movement stands for the American Descendants of Slaves. That name is a contradiction because Black American history didn't start with slavery. Black American history started with Africa, which is the Mother of all in the human race. Our ancestors were scholars, spiritual leaders, and intellectuals spanning thousands of years. Now, our ancestors were victims of slavery, but our history didn't end or start with slavery. It is true that we black Americans should have reparations 100 percent and without exception. The ADOS movement was started by 2 people who are lawyer Antonio Moore of Los Angeles and former political consultant Yvette Carnell. Yvette Carnell is from the Midwest. The problems with the ADOS movement are plenty. One major problem is that its founders have said problematic statements for years. Moore said that he has more of a connection with white Americans than Africans culturally. Carnell said the lie that Pan-Africanism is dead, which it is not true. Pan-Africanism organizations flourish today and worldwide. African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Latinos, Africans, and all black people of the global African Diaspora are deserving of dignity, respect, justice, and liberation period. The ADOS movement was created in 2016 which is the same year that Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election. Also, some ADOS members have links to far-right movements. Yvette Carnell was caught being part of an anti-immigrant group called Progressives for Immigration Reform that had links to a late racist person (who is John Tanton) who advocated eugenics. Other supporters of this movement are economist Dr. William "Sandy" Darity and even Dr. Cornel West supported ADOS (that betrays his claims to be for human liberation. Cornel West said the canard saying that Dr. King and Malcolm X would support ADOS when both men were pro-Pan African unity). The ADOS is slicker than the FBA Movement in the sense that the ADOS combines legitimate information about economic inequality in the black community and abhorrent anti-black, far-right, and anti-immigrant talking points to gain recruits in their movement.
Many of their slogans are cut the check, Tangibles, etc. They seek to hijack Black American social movements for change in order to promote division among the Diaspora. The ADOS is so extreme that they wanted the 2020 Census to make ADOS its own category that will harm resources to the black community overall in America. Unity, not division, creates strength for black people. ADOS co-founders claim to support H.R. 40 (or the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African American Act), but they want the ADOS term used not African American. This is a sign that they have hostility to Africa as without Africa no human would be born on this Earth. The H.R. 40 bill was sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. Some ADOS leaders want Black Americans by force to provide slavery documentation before having access to affirmative action and reparations (that is similar to the old school grandfather clauses that racists used to harm black people's voting rights). Tons of black Americans will not be able to provide this documentation. I have my own documents proving that my 2nd great-grandparents were black slaves in America (and beyond back during the 1700's), but millions of black Americans don't have that documentation. Many ADOS leaders refuse to work with or bash independent pro-reparations (for black Americans) like the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations (N'COBRA).
Many ADOS leaders and social media commentators do attack any black scholars, historians, and regular people if they disagree with them in some cases online harassment. Some ADOS people are so xenophobic that they want to limit black immigrants going into America which is similar to white far-right racists wanting to decrease immigration to America (who are black people, brown people, and other people of color). Yvette Carnell is clear on minimizing the African heritage of black Americans. She even was offended at African music played at Howard University which proves her xenophobia. ADOS lied on Queen Mother Audley Moore and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to promote their cause. The truth is that Queen Mother Moore was an overt Pan-Africanist, and Dr. King was in favor of being against imperialism, joining African liberation movements, and he visited Africa to celebrate the independence of Ghana. If black immigrants are restricted to come into America, that lowers the black population (that agenda is advocated by far-right white racists). The PFIR supports the ADOS agenda. Queen Mother Moore also founded the Committee for Reparations for Descendants of U.S. Slaves. One of the great scholars refuting ADOS is Jessica Alwuyor. Queen Mother said she was African First. Slavery is not a lineage. Black identity in America is diverse too. Some black people were in the Caribbean centuries ago and came into America centuries ago from the Caribbean. Some black Americans came into Canada and came back to America. The ADOS movement is anti-black because it implies that black immigrants (not the system of economic and racial oppression) are taking resources from the Black American community. The truth is that black immigrants are not responsible for employment, housing, health, and education issues in our community. These are caused by centuries-long oppressive systems targeting us all. ADOS founders don't blame white immigrants with the same intensity as they do black immigrants. How ironic. The reality is that immigrants of any color are not responsible collectively for the oppression of black American people. Racists demonize black and brown immigrants because, by 2045, America will be a majority people of color country. White racists want black immigrants to not come into America for racist reasons.
That is why Ann Coulter supports the ADOS movement. Another weakness of ADOS is that some of them refuse to vote if no reparations are immediately sent to black Americans. The problem is that we have issues of poverty, imperialism, economic inequality, and other issues. Not voting will give the far-right leverage in harming our rights and resources to live our lives. Also, voting is not just a federal deal. Not voting will harm local school boards, local governments, and how money is allocated in our communities. Therefore, we have every right to vote and fight for reparations at the same time. Not all ADOS people are Russian bots, but some ADOS people are clear on their xenophobia. What is disappointing is Dr. Cornel West supported the ADOS propaganda at the 2019 ADOS conference. Black people are diverse and ADOS seeks to separate black people based on nationality. That is why one tweet has Dr. Sandy Darity saying that people must stop and apologize if ADOS members made denigrating comments about others in the black African Diasporic community. The problem is that the xenophobic rhetoric from many members of the ADOS movement continues in public and on the Internet. Yvette Carnell on December 18, 2019, did a live stream where she bashed the Ghanaian tourism industry for lying to say that Ghana was scamming African Americans. Many ADOS people harass people with whom they disagree. ADOS Twitter liars have attacked journalist Nikole Hannah Jones, Bree Newsome, Yvette Nicole Brown, Mark Thompson, etc. One of them named Bill Dixon even mocked the death of Rep. Elijah Cummings and disrespected his wife. There are many ADOS members who are sincere, but they omit that ADOS leaders are filled with xenophobia, historical revisionism, anti-immigrant rhetoric, and extremism.
The FBA movement was invented by Tariq Nasheed. In a way, the FBA movement is more evil and bigoted than even the ADOS movement. The reason is that Tariq Nasheed is overt in his even more extreme stereotyping and hatred of Afro-Caribbean people. He has blamed Afro-Caribbean people for crime, exploitation, and other evils in the black community. He also uses a slur to describe Afro-Caribbean people in America. I won't mention the name of the slur here, but it's the t word. Tariq Nasheed is the person who said that black single women don't deserve reparations, he said that he lusted after Brooke Hogan, also he called BW in IR slurs (yet, his wife is a product of an interracial relationship. He is a hypocrite). So, Tariq Nasheed is filled with contradictions. He is now promoting the myth that black Americans are the real Native Americans, and he copied that myth from Dave Calloway (who promotes that myth too). Tariq Nasheed made a documentary about the Haitian Revolution years ago praising it, but now he tries to disrespect people who have Haitian heritage. He is a totally nefarious person. We know now that African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans have had cultural exchanges for centuries improving the culture and vitality of black people for generations. One example is how Afro-Caribbean Kwame Ture worked with black American leaders to fight for black liberation. Another example is the Caribbean and African Americans unifying to fight for freedom in New York City, Louisiana, Florida, and across the USA. Some of my personal heroes are Afro-Caribbean people. Our ancestors came from Africa originally. Also, Tariq Nasheed omits that many people that Nasheed claims to hold in high regard have Caribbean heritage from Floyd Mayweather to Malcolm X. Some FBA extremists oppose black Africans supporting the black people being mistreated in Ukraine by racists. Tariq has more criticism against Democrats than Republicans. Both parties have imperfections. Yet, Trump and the Republicans have voter suppression policies, some seek to end Social Security, some endorse ending environmental regulations, and the GOP actually wants bans on anti-racist books in many states. So, it is obvious that the Republicans are much worse. Tariq Nasheed even bashed the Voting Rights Act, John Lewis, and claims to say Happy Dr. King's day. Voting rights are important that Dr. King supported. Therefore, Tariq is a hypocritical self hater who has more hatred of black leaders than Maga followers. A sexist like Tariq Nasheed (who made books disrespecting women and was once a rapper called T-Flex who glorify violence) is never a role model for our people. In Brazil years ago, he did hedonism against white Brazilians, not uplifting the black Brazilian population. Tariq Nasheed's FBA Museum is not here yet. I rather support the Charleston, South Carolina International Black American Museum that will come for real in the future.
Swing music is a type of jazz. It came about during the late 1920s and the early 1930's. It uses an off beat sound. Some have soloists who would improvise on the melody over the arrangement. Also, many big bands were part of swing music too. Some of the famous people who used swing were Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Harry James, Lionel Hampton, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, and Django Reinhardt. Dance music existed back then. There were pioneers of this sound like Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, etc. Swing declined by the end of World War II. The Earl Hines Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Orchestra showed tons of swing music. Swing was very short-lived. By the end of this era, vocalists were the leaders of large bands with vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Vaughn Monroe, and Frank Sinatra. Swing would exist later with Bobby Darin, Judy Garland, and Nat King Cole. The Big band musical genre made a huge comeback during the 1990's and 2000s with Royal Crown Revue, and other artists.
Amber Rose has bashed Christians, and this is not surprising. In this century, there has been a rise of people who not only hate Christians but want to lie about Christianity. Amber Rose once again shows lies, half-truths, and hypocrisy on religion. She was raised in a strict Christian household. Later, she said that she doesn't believe in God but in science. I believe in science too, and I believe in God. Science is a useful method to explain tons of things in the Universe. Science can't solve all questions about the afterlife, the soul, and the spirit, because these concepts aren't related to science. Also, we can use history, the legal method, and other actions to discover things along with science. Matter, energy, space, and time have a beginning, and it's not illogic to assume that God (being the Creator) caused these things to exist. Even DNA had tons of information like a database that determines the composition of life. DNA forms proteins by a scientific process, not by invisible chance. DNA uses a mathematical language to develop life. The mathematical orbits of the planets and the stars logically show the massive evidence of it having a specific origin (from Eternity from God, which is much more powerful than what came after the Big Bang), not being some irrational mistake. Nothingness never creates or forms anything (biogenesis is a scientific reality), therefore it is logical to assume that a massively powerful event caused the Universe to exist beyond our power. Amber Rose hypocritically says that she thinks Christianity is anti-scientific, but she believes in Buddhism which teaches reincarnation. Reincarnation is a spiritual concept. It has nothing to do with science. We know some of the greatest scientists in history professing faith in the Most High God like Linneaus, Cuvier, Kepler, etc. In her IG, she lied and mentioned that the white European's God is Jesus (forgetting that many Europeans don't even believe in God and some are polytheists back then thousands of years ago and today), and that basically black people were beat in the head to worship Jesus over centuries. She denied the Virgin Birth, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the resurrection. Amber has the right to believe or not believe in God or Christianity, but she is wrong about the history of Christianity. First, black people were Christians before the Maafa existed. There were Christians in Nubia and Ethiopia in the 2nd and 3rd century A.D. Simeon was a black man part of Pentecost as found in the book of Acts (in the first century A.D.). White racists and imperialists from Europe used a perversion of Christianity to justify the evil Maafa against black African people. It's like Osama bin Laden used a perversion of Islam to justify terrorism against the West when terrorism is immoral (as innocent human life should never be abused, terrorized, or murdered). Christianity was invented in the Middle East, not in Europe.
In fact, the earliest Christians were persecuted by crucifixion, harassment, assaults, and murder in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Many black Christians voluntarily believed in God back then. Also, she implied that Christians believe that Mary was only good enough to be a virgin to allow Christ to be born in Earth. The Bible, regardless of what she says, never dictated that grown men should have 10 wives to be secure. She says just be a good person, but people have the right to believe in spirituality or not. Being a good person doesn't mean you lie about another person's faith either. She lied that everyone who brings up the Bible to fit their needs is usually the most hypocritical, judgmental people. Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot were murderers who murdered almost 200 million people in the 20th century. They didn't believe in God. That means that a person lacking in character shouldn't be blamed on religion or atheism collectively. It should be blamed on that person alone. The Bible teaches love, patience, and treating your neighbor as yourself (which is in opposition to white racists using religion as an excuse to harm black people and any people). Therefore, there is a long history of believers in God being some of the most compassionate people in history like Harriet Tubman, Rev. Richard Allen, Josiah Henson, Mahalia Jackson, and other human beings who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Standing on your faith doesn't mean that you're a bigot. Amber Rose made the old lie that black girls were jealous of her in Philadelphia because of her light skin. Amber Rose is the type that uses black platforms to spread her views, but she refuses to accept critiques from others who have legitimate questions. This is just the beginning. There will be more anti-Christian bigots in the world (as they hypocritically claim to be about tolerance, but they negatively generalize Christians to suit their own viewpoints), and we have to use apologetics and logic to refute their deceptive arguments. No one has looked at all of the evidence in the Universe to say that there is no God definitively. One thing about Rose is that she won't call Islam or Judaism illogical faiths because of obvious reasons. People have the right to believe in religion or not, but anyone denying righteous people using spiritual views to help society is a liar. Today, Christian persecution takes place in China, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India, and other places of the world constantly. There are moral absolutes in the Universe. These absolutes don't evolve over time based on the whims of people. It's based on concrete realities that must be cherished.
The BET Awards in 2022 took place on June 26, 2002. Like many awards, many people in music, sports, television, and movies were awarded and celebrated. The host was Taraji P. Henson. It took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Henson would promote Black Unity among black men and black women. Also, Henson publicly spoke out against the Supreme Court striking down Roe V. Wade that effectively divided America into states with abortion bans and other states without it. There were tons of artists who performed like Brandy, Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, etc. Muni Long, Ella Mai, Babyface, Latto, Mary J. Blige, Shyne, Bryson Tiller, Faith Evans, Giveon, Chloe, and other artists have displayed their talents on the BET stage too. Many winners have shown political views on the issue of abortion. Kirk Franklin wanted the older generation to pass the torch to the younger generation of gospel artists. The winners were diverse. The Video of the Year was Family Ties with Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar. The album of the year was An Evening with Silk Sonic done by Silk Sonic. Latto won the Best New Artist award. Best Women R&B/Pop Artist was Jazmine Sullivan, and the Best Men R&B/Pop Artist was The Weeknd. The best Men and Women Hip Hop artists Awards were sent to Kendrick Lamar and Megan Thee Stallion respectively. Silk Snoic won Best Group. Best Dr. Bobby Jones Best Gospel/Inspirational Award came for Kirk Franklin and Lil Baby's "We Win." Mary J. Blige won the BET Her Award for her song of Good Morning Gorgeous. That song celebrates the glory and beauty of women. King Richard won Best Movie, and Zendaya won Best Actress. Marsai Martin won YoungStars Awards, and Will Smith won Best Actor The Lifetime Achievement Award was won by Sean Combs.
