What a brilliant video! I subscribed to Kahil straight away. I studied the Civil War at school & this is the first reference I have seen since then, to the fact that the plantation owners did not let the slaves know they were free for over 2 years. I am now 74 & I can still feel the boiling indignation & anger that I felt aged 19 when my tutor did a lecture on this.

Well done Kahil.

On a side track, Ben are you alright? You look as if you've got agonizing backache; Aaron has said he has the same problem. Is it sitting in front of a camera for so long every day? Please take care both of you; your health is so important for you & your lovely family.

Great conversation. Thank you for the detailed explanation on Juneteenth. I will follow you on all your other sites. As always, I will continue to follow and support The Midas Touch. Ben, I am not sure if the over head sign is for your birthday. If it is, I wish you a very Happy Birthday from one Gemini to another Gemini.❤️🙏🏽

Kahlil - I’m so curious to know if you always saw this regression coming?

“People don’t like equality” is the truest true & makes me shudder in my bones.

So sad to think that this can actually occur in America-(removal of civil human rights) ?. How many more human rights must America 🇺🇸 loose?

Happy Birthday Ben, and Happy June Juneteenth to all 👍💙🇨🇦

Kalil is so interesting, great video. However it really looks like Ben is in a lot of discomfort with his back issues. Sending positive vibes, Ben.

Thank you for this great conversation. It's very apparent that the GQP, t and his base of Christo fascists only believe that this country should be occupied by straight, white Christian males. Which seems so ironic. Especially when their leader wears face paint, gets his hair done and dances to The Village People's song YMCA. Which is widely known to be a gay anthem!

But in spite of all the hate, division and noise coming from t we need to continue to fight for democracy.
