If you aren't familiar with Henrietta Lacks, do your research on her. She died in 1951, she was only 31. She's a foundational Black American woman who helped people in the past, present, and will continue helping people in the future from beyond the grave.
You may be asking how she's doing that, and it's based on White people stealing her DNA because they outlived the other ones that they stole. They were obtained through the Johns Hopkins Hospital where she went for treatment.
HeLa (a play on her name) are the cells they continue to use to study the affects on viruses, drugs, hormones and other things. They use these instead of experimenting on people the way they did with our ancestors, but i'm pretty sure experiments continue.
Her cells have been used to help them learn how virus's work, the effects of radiation and more. If they didn't steal her cells, there wouldn't be a polio vaccine. The courts ruled that a person's discarded tissue and cells are not their property, and able to be commercialized. The family didn't know what these crooks did until these thieves published her DNA sequence and someone informed them about it. That was 2013, and her family continues the fight.I mention her, because Henrietta made a huge contribution to the world, and many other foundational Black Americans have done so in many other groundbreaking ways. I can't forget about our enslaved ancestors either who made the United States a super power, and these devils who unleashed hell on earth have the nerve to try and tell us what they don't owe? Bitch please.
Damn near everywhere you look, foundational Black Americans and our enslaved ancestors have shed blood, sweat, and tears only to have it packaged, marketed and sold by our oppressors. Who benefited from this? Nearly the entire world. This holds especially true for America, so don't hesitate to use this as a reminder to throw up in the faces of these disease ridden White Supremacists busy destroying the planet while maintaining an attitude of great disrespect.
Reparations and other tangibles are what we're owed without a shadow of a doubt. Anyone claiming to stand with us, have to be up on this too, because they've benefited in so many ways. That benefit can be seen, but some is also unseen.
This is also one of the reasons they don't want us to receive reparations, they want access to us and our bodies. They want us desperate willing to do anything for money, which includes giving away our priceless bodily resources. There are quite a few Black men and women struggling to make ends meet to the point that they're regulars at blood banks and plasma centers, and these places make billions while tossing them a couple of dollars or some movie tickets.
Here is a little something from Future Prep:
I cannot repeat this enough, do not share your DNA. This post just reminded me to say that again. Anti-Black people benefit off of us enough. I can't make you not have a relationship with a White person and I have never shamed anyone I saw with one, but there are too many anti-Black people out here to take the chance for me. Like I've said before, I won't say anything about your relationship but if you end up with the wrong one, I won't say anything if you end up burned either.
It gets more critical when children are involved. What happens when you have children with a potentially anti-Black person, you're reinforcing their DNA through your offspring. You're extending the life of White Supremacy with your DNA if that child becomes a self hating weapon wielded against Black people.
If they become a weapon, you're giving them your strength that may have come by way of our ancestors being forced to sleep together like they were animals. They were deemed animals, and a lot of these people still try to call us that to this day, even if DNA proves otherwise. Either way, don't let them benefit and potentially use it against you, there are enough of these trojan horses to deal with now.
Having children with potential White Supremacists also give them offspring with melanin that allows them to survive in the sun longer. I don't know who is a potential White Supremacist or not, but the safest gamble is not gambling at all. Ask questions on questions and do your research if you're going to make that move, there are too many anti-Black people with children from Black people and my heart goes out to these children for what they're going to endure and possibly become. Don't put a child in that position, i'd hate for them to be turned into the opposition. It's never set in stone, but it's hard to determine what's a double edged sword and what's not. Be careful.
You even have to take it a step further by not getting involved with anyone you identify as a coon. The all lives matter crowd are in that bag too, you can never be too sure, so it doesn't hurt to be careful, ask questions, observe, and research. You'd benefit doing this with any potential person you date, sleep with, plan to marry, and eventually have children with.
You will benefit in the long run with principles, even if they feel like they limit your choices.
