How Black Americans Were Robbed of Their Land
Its time to ponder the question, who or what is responsible for poverty within the Hebrew communities here in America? How can we examine and learn from the past? How can we come together collectively for the good of our people!
Over the course of the 20th century, black Americans have lost approximately 12 million acres of land. This mass land dispossessionโa war waged by deed of title, which has affected 98 percent of black farmersโcan only be called theft, says Atlantic writer Vann R. Newkirk II in a new documentary.
The Scott family, from Mound Bayou, Mississippi, can trace their land ownership back to 1938, when the familyโs agriculturally gifted patriarch began amassing more than 1,000 acres. By the late โ80s, the Scotts had all but lost their land entirely. What happened in those intervening years is a complex story of systematic discrimination thatโs emblematic of the experience of many black families in America.

The alarm is sounding.
Matthew 24:37-39,43-44
[37]But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[38]For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
[39]And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[43]But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
[44]Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
