If you could erase one event from history, what would it be?
To go back in time where black Americans were never stolen from their homeland. That we would be free to move about our country community, our colonies and kingdoms and villages without the persecution that was put forth against us. Where we could live on our land as we once did. Our families, our communities and the resources that belong to Africans. Where we were not put on ships like sardines in a can. But the life of 120,000 people that were stolen and only 12,000 survived the voyage and roughly ages between 30 and 50 survived. Her mothers didn’t lose their children and sold for profit, where men were not killed and strung upon a tree. Where we were not treated as less than human. We’re jealousy against a community that did nothing to the oppressors. And that those who participated in slave slavery continue to be reminded of the harm they committed. We’re reparations forgiven to the oppressed, and not the oppressor. Black people were meant to be free. If I could change anything, I would ensure that European white Americans stayed in their country and never set foot in Africa.
We fight for our freedom because we earned it the moment of birth. The world sees us as less than human, but the world always needs us to fight their battles. White supremacy needs to want to press and black people at the bottom where white people sit at the top. You can be poor and white and still oppressed the most wealthy as black person. 
This is an event I would change to protect my people who are only 6.9% of the population of the world. We are the global majority and they are the minorities and the rogue will once again be brown.
