With all that's going on in the world & especially America I stumbled upon this brother who I don't believe I have ever heard of before; maybe some of you here at ESR have. His is taken name is Angelo Soliman1721-1796 his story is quit amazing & sad at the same time. He was an enslaved African from between Nigeria & Cameroon form what I have read altho I see other countries in Africa that they said he came from . He lived in Vienna & rose to very high status & even became the head of the Freemasons in Vienna & instituted a more pure form of Freemasonry that became standard in Europe, he married a European nobel women, & regained his freedom; he was friends with Mozart & was considered to be of very high intelligence . With all this, he still was regarded as a curiosity, & an exotic, & when he died of a stroke, they skinned him & had him stuffed & put in a museum . On the news I heard a Black man in tears screaming "we are human , we are human, why do you keep treating us like we are not" !!
Why is it that we still are being killed & not seen as fully human by many whites ? The second video is very good, but the narrator a brother, kind of paints & some what naive portrait of his acceptance in Vienna , but very good never the less.
