There is no end to the atrocious ways in which black people were treated at the hands of whites. This is not a “feel sorry for us” sob story or anything like that. It’s fact that the torture and trauma caused by the history of many black people in America still hurts today.

It hurts to hear stories like this, that babies were fed to gators, but the extent of the absolute evil of the past needs to be faced. Facing up to the facts and the truth is surely the only way to move forward.

The black babies fed to gator thing has been cast off by many as pure lies and stories. Yet there is evidence again and again and again.
