Seth Grossman is the special guest on WPG Radio, every Sat morning at 9:15am. Host John DeMasi, Talk With A Purpose. Listen to episode from June 21, 2025. Juneteenth: Last Thursday, an 11th government holiday, where people working for government and big corporations get a paid day off, or double time if they worked last Thursday. What is purpose of Juneteenth?  We already have Martin Luther King Day in January and Black History Month in February.  A third opportunity to distort history and promote these fake narratives: Three fake messages: Black Americans were the only people in the country who had ancestors that were treated unfairly in the past. Not even close! Blacks were the only people who were slaves in the past. Almost every nation and people on earth were at one time slaves--or slave owners. That whites were the only people who enslaved people.  Wrong. Blacks attacked and captured other Blacks in Africa. Then sold them to Arabs, Europeans and other Black tribes. That white Americans were the only people whoever owned slaves.  There was slavery all over the world until European and American Christians ended it. That the wealth we enjoy in America was created by Black slaves. Therefore, white Americans have an obligation to pay reparations to Blacks.  Wrong. Free states and free countries far more prosperous that states and nations with slavery. Also, U.S. Civil War to end slavery wiped out all slave produced wealth in the South. Only slaves do dirty jobs like working on farms or cleaning rooms in hotels. Therefore, we need illegal immigrants to do that work.  Democrats today want a dependent servant class--just like the white Democrats of the South who defended slavery in 1860s! This fake Black history is just as dangerous as the fake German history that turned Germans into Nazis a hundred years ago. Germans were taught that every problem they had was caused by somebody else, usually Jews. Every problem in Black community caused by somebody else. First step to fix the problem is to start teaching real history again. That's why our History Book project is so important.  It will be available soon. 39 Important stories left out of history books today.  Here a section for Chapter 12. PORTUGUESE USE AFRICAN SLAVES TO GROW SUGAR IN BRAZIL. During the 1400s, Portugal, like England, France, and Spain, was looking for sea routes to China and The Spice Islands (Indonesia). However, Portugal sent its ships south along the coast of Africa. In 1488, Bartolomeu Dias sailed around the southern tip of Africa. In 1498 Vasco da Gama, reached India. In 1511, Afonso de Albuquerque reached and conquered Malacca, one of the Spice Islands. In 1500, a Portuguese sailor named Pedro Cabral found Brazil in South America. He found it by accident when he was blown off course trying to reach India. During this time, Portuguese ships often stopped at coastal towns and villages in Africa for food and fresh water.  In the African region of Angola, the Portuguese met and traded with an aggressive warrior tribe known as the Imbagala. They also met and traded with a powerful Bantu nation known as the Mbundu. Both the Imbagala and the Mbundu routinely attacked and enslaved people from weaker tribes around them. Beginning in the 1500s they traded large numbers of slaves they captured to the Portuguese for guns and other European goods.    The Portuguese, unlike English and most European Christians, had a tradition of slavery. In the year 711 A.D., most of Portugal was conquered Muslims from North Africa who were called Moors or Saracens. For the next 700 years, Portuguese Christians fought brutal “Reconquista” wars to regain their territory. During those wars, the Moors and the Portuguese often captured and enslaved each other. Last Saturday, Democrats had their “No Kings Day”. There were demonstrations all over the country. Here,
