6:38 am
they went to ask an extra question, the 8th and the i don't that i'm about the orders to ease the notice a is a new capital gain. the lease are stopped, but a who that got to see us on the left again to call a lady, they can sign you need back date for leaving. kayla knew that dallas full so sick icicles sort of minor legal question on legal question that no one have the chance to study for right. but a question that, you know, maybe maybe a research girl would probably be smart enough to figure out. i mean, at least that's what i think they were thinking. and that's like the young, by the binomial choice, i get on an equity raise or uniform dental really badly go. he will die the elastic look, sadly the find them at the one me lady had no, no i knew will not. they love you. i don't know so quick us are folks who are minor

6:40 am
why is it panama that is marketed to the world, the panama, that is reflected back to the panamanians. why is it so light skin? why is it so rich? and most importantly, how did we get here the, the street exotic nice the street to the most out throws in front of my most uncle to him. but i most does need a b j, sir by holy michel de la. move head, veronica the you know, so don't know that i'm only been talking to right in the concept. the usa locust
6:41 am
negate are looking on the last fast. no. so during the day and i'm o a support the last so c, m o, for the course i could be most in delay, the c on constant. the main thing was when i was little, i asked my mom, why come by here be blonde? the princess is on tv or blonde. my mom just said lamar. black people are not blunt. she didn't say anything else, but i understood that people like me were not a bad name. mama, mama, what? anything. i'm going to say i don't want the one. my name, you can think of that, i know what i can move across the lines that i got. oh okay. for people who felt like annoying, i mean made is what i'm
6:42 am
a little putting me on the left for a mutual mental that are present that up on. i'm a plugin or do you know uh a so if they do with people they get that they would, i mean the, i know you've got all the time, you know that can you, you must have got action by media, you know, is, are you in there for the illegal but are you going to assume? no. okay. we're not see the front of me yet. they are last on a. can you every person that end up on my own composing to invest in a little bit here? so it give us that need to help them get us in by good idea what the study even mean or no. good afternoon by living i, you know, so basically that means that you're out of place and this is what makes me angry. the idea that black people don't be long,
6:43 am
the black people are part of the foundation of panama at one point, africans under defendants our number to your opinions, 5 to one is a so they need to think they think, look or to see in the beginning. i see the link to ask the color so you can see my goal is to then get stuff. i only did it by the 19th century, white fear of black uprisings, and that desire to establish regional support and unity lead to a campaign of presenting a non black image of panama to the world. but if i give it to see mom in the sense of course,
6:44 am
can do it by avarice and being essentially the with the mental health via sports fans or to find them in san diego for one day or 2010. what's the 1st census? since the forty's to ask individuals if they consider themselves black, but the pen of minion census is conducted by staff who canvass door to door and many effort panamanians claim that they were never asked the question either they don't know, but you're not going to be on your kind of mind, you know what i mean, they represent then the case, may you see no, you see in the in but um, uh i but as soon as i put something off the to byers, us out. so community, but i think, i mean, thinking completely so new, i don't know, i even know about the import blue that, that'd be
6:45 am
a see that can see thing and place the around here. and there's a lot of trouble with beauty pageants, but that's another conversation. you know, it meant something that somebody from cologne occupied that space. then a woman from going on. i'm a dirty black city, you know, my dirty black province. you know, her face on the screen, her face and then use papers that is important. you know, especially for people from the one the easy, i know know, same thing being before momentum we and most, you man it up again. yep. know, following them being the super
6:46 am
simple going to be but i'm still feeling that way. get the feeling they really when i'm head of more in the present the opposite side of the portfolio view road. yes. hi leo. if you like, got a you can ok. simple mental negative police that are kind of, you know, saves you money if you need me on the go to menu on who not to me. ok. i for them. they can see don't they? i put in the said, joe, don't the upper in be a long see see i like, who's the c? i said in may that i said corner name. so i can i see doughty, who did you most of the present them growing, so yeah, it's the, i think the new steeple,
6:47 am
say, my mom's when was revolutionary. but actually, her radical activism began as a high school student years before her pageant career. i got involved in beauty padges to use all the things between me and my mom because all my riots situation on my stones throwing woods. let's go. my husband will lose their job. so that's why i was just balancing the, the things i told the people that i want to see nadia. yeah, i'm not. yeah, i was uh the to the end to protect the a thing for then tell me little political. they care that the project, i'm like, what they're like with these. yeah, the
6:48 am
police i could do them to pray must be good to go the and most in for the past couple of radical new cecilia haines. a come come with your date of birth date up rulings. yeah. more. yeah. and i organize riley's and birthdays and 5 of the rise of the people we will fighting for job opportunity for people we will fighting for but as occasion we will fighting for, but i have system good. you almost getting for it out can well, you know, sort of my, a key that the will work and also the most think you can one, might he know you another, but the funeral being isn't face, it's another notion wrong to mind. quinta, i think while i mean to the panama is best known for the great inter ocean highway. the panama canal, the canals. so the strip of land extending 5 miles on either side of that can help
6:49 am
is leased to the united states and is administered from the canal zone spell. but the my great grandfather on my mother's side came to panama in the early 20th century. he was one of a tens of thousands of black men who came from across the caribbean, looking for work in panama, in places like the canal or the railroad. the loan is a beautiful province, rich province in so many ways cold through your rich. it's also a port for the panama canal, the boat, if you want to the streets of putting on, you would see a lot of poverty. you would see me things that are falling apart,
6:50 am
that are not for people to live in, but people are living there. and you will see a city that has been a band and by the rest of the country, the i moved to the us when i finished high school. people's shocking to me, the most people in the west have no idea that their country occupied panama build a fence around the canal and said, this is ours. keep out. not only that, but the us important didn't group policies into panama and create its separate leaving areas for white workers and black and brown workers. this clarified anti black and segregation as practices that had existed since installation africans were 1st brought to panama degree american bases. and they put in place of, with the american soldiers use segregated from the rest of the grid. so the great
6:51 am
to surprise. so the lower area was used for americans or the europeans wipe. they live in panama and then the super for anything but what a good. okay. i mean, i didn't know if somebody can buy them. i said all to the, i'm a, i can see that political. so i think i'm gonna have to learn what on to and if he made a class, it is okay long, it's going to see and he needs to continue. it'll be a slide item for those. but they might have to be someone who will. and that's going to be given that the, and the, the meeting k of you'll see those, i'm sorry, who, who am i the 3 months here before. now it says anything potentially set up in the home phone. so this is evelyn and you in those
6:52 am
included those are not exclusive. i mean that i sort of got the negative guess f o c data. that is is another thing that glassy a joyful. yeah. the closest you, cynthia? a, the, the, the thing is not only believe that racism is, is from someone else to you is as you to yourself. and that's, i think, is the most important thing that we need to work as black community is to work in embracing our blackness to make the you'd feel comfortable in their own skin
6:53 am
to let them say yes, i am black. what the wild satellite from the in here comes the night of the movie you live or it, i'm glue to my tv. i caught everybody a call in a family called loan. i said make sure to watch this. this is a so we we go to make is 3 because your is the 1st black woman that going to do this the 1st day on the list of 12. some i find list is miss scott. one

6:55 am
a major victory. one movie, ha, ha, ha. ha. yeah. yeah. uh huh. i get to a la, that's what i said in my brain is so part of the purchase of the gabby, i'm gonna try and get expert our main of it, but i like it. you are ready to sign a column on oh, i see a the e s a for me bring some you to a she made history. it hurt me to my heart when she came from. so korea, you know, they didn't receive a good that was supposed to come in, take all around panama is easily she, she did something for us. what people we did.
