Harriet Tubman Nat Turner fictional characters.

Ok so why am I reacting to this, above his a vid by Black nativist Dane Calloway, who is now not only challenging the fact of African Americans as folks with no ties from Africa, (screw genetics what named so) but now tearing down African American iconic figures.
Always with the mission creep with these guys, and it’s a bit depressing as he have a large following and influence to boot, ultimately where he want to take the community of Blacks folks in America I cannot see, there are other vids and reactions to this nonsense,but I throw this one up so his words are not filtered.

In the vid he made claims Harriet Tubman did not have kids, and he would be right ,but she did have sisters who did, but see way too many young folks and even older ones would not take the time to parse what he is saying and fact check him, this shoddy scholarship is more influential that the history at hand even living history are now liars.

The family descendant  of one of her five sisters , this influential lackluster is saying they lying,so desperate is he to get away from the consequences of the slave era, that tearing down sheroes and heroes if they stood in his way ,even when there is enough to honor because of their individual and collective struggles in an exceedingly hostile era.
These guys are in my opinion more destructive than white supremacist because they can more easily enter our heads.

His argument makes little sense. Harriet Tubman was not "created" by the US Congress.
She was already in existence and did many things to fight against slavery. Sometime
in the 21st century, Congress added her picture to a denomination of money. That
was the "creation" - her pic on some money. Every detail on Tubman's life is not
known, but no person living back then, let alone an a female ex-slave, has every
detail known about them. When did George Washington acquire the salves on his plantation
for example? What are the dates and what are their names? Most are not known. In
Tubman's case more heavy reliance on oral histories had to be done since n written
records existed, but that is not unusual for white women of the era either.
