Paramount is BET's parent company. Removing all these Black writer's writing from the internet is ERASURE! They didn't even give the authors an opportunity to download their articles. I am so sick of these white supremacists trying to erase the accomplishments, hell, the existence, of Black people.
BET Removes Articles From Its Site, Obliterating Much Of Its Black Journalism Record
“It’s disheartening to watch years of journalists’ reporting wiped from the internet so easily and without warning,” said HuffPost culture reporter Njera Perkins.

The #slave trade in enslaved #Africans lasted more than 3½ centuries. Without it our world would look vastly different. This #institution stole people's lives, disfigured Western morality, & left a legacy of #hatred that still echoes today. #BlackHistoryMatters

The background of this square design is a detail from an engraving that depicts enslaved Africans sitting naked and crowded together in darkness. A blue line borders the design. At the top it says, “INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR REMEMBRANCE OF THE SLAVE TRADE AND ITS ABOLITION.” Below that, it says, “The first recorded transatlantic vessel carrying enslaved people from Africa was in 1520. The transatlantic slave trade lasted 366 years.” Image courtesy of CGTN.

In the era of sundown towns, Black people were forced to live by invisible curfews.
“Freedom” came with conditions, and safety had an expiration time.
But even in the face of fear, our people built, thrived, and refused to disappear.
