Since I am a white Man then I can not give the African American perspective so mine is a white perspective.
The end of the African slavery in the USA is an important part of "Black History" and I applaud that, but there is more to the story.
When President Lincoln freed the slaves then the point and purpose was more-so done to free the white people from our own white ignorance. The action simply looks like the action was done for the benefit of the African Americans which is true but that was a secondary or subordinate motivation, because the more overriding point and purpose was to free the whites from our white ignorance and white brutality.
Without understanding this perspective then it is harder to understand the dynamics of what really happened.
In later years it was Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights protest which actually worked specifically to free the American black population.
White people are really far more self serving and self centered, so that even when it looks like they were doing a justice to the slaves it was really intended to remove the whites from our white barbarism.
If they had truly freed the slaves then we would have given the former slaves their past due salaries which were never paid, or given them their due of 40 acres and a mule - but no.
Therefore today in the 21st century the laws do not allow the racial discrimination but many whites still claim their right to the same old white ignorance, and the lesson learned is that it was far more easier to forcibly end the slavery rather than to free the white society away from their white racist ideals.

In 1849 - Harriet Tubman escapes from slavery and becomes one of the most effective and celebrated leaders of the Underground Railroad.
In 1863 - President Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring "that all persons held as slaves" within the Confederate states "are, and henceforward shall be free."

I just read the memoir of Faith Evans called "Keep the Faith" (2008), and in that book she gives testimony which demonstrates the high likelihood that Notorious B.I.G. probably did have Tupac assassinated.
Faith Evans does NOT say that herself but it can be deduced from her words.
She tells how "Big" sang that Tupac might be the father of her expectant child, which is real motivation for Big who was still her husband to want Tupac as dead.
Then she tells of when Tupac was found to be dead that Big called her on the phone talking about the death of Tupac and how Big was upset and nervous which she claims to show Big's feelings for Tupac, when it really is a sign that Big had a guilty conscience while he was trying to sway his wife to himself.
Then later when Big was in the hospital with an injured leg he is quoted by Faith as saying to a nurse standing there - "This is my wife right here," he said with pride. "Bout to have my baby." per page 263
As such Big was free to claim the baby as his own after Tupac was dead.
I do not say or believe that Faith Evans was trying to give this impression or this message, and maybe she never "put the 2 and 2 together" as I have done, but I say the evidence given by her testimony certainly does point to Big having Tupac killed, or certainly that Big was pleased that Tupac had been put out of his business with his wife and the coming baby.
Plus I must say that if indeed Big did have Tupac killed as the evidence suggest, then I do not blame Big for doing it because Tupac had no right to come out publicly talking and rapping about Faith who was and remained as the lawful wife of Big.
Tupac was a talented man and a successful artist and he had the charisma indeed, but he went too far in his trash talk about Faith Evans whether it were true or not.
In my own opinion of course.

In my own opinion of course. I suppose you figured out that it was Tupac's people that killed Biggie? Everybody knew that 15 years ago and you're just now figuring it out!

I suppose you are correct in that as I am being rather late onto the subject. The thing is that I often thought that Biggie was the innocent one, and now I still see Biggie as the better of the two since Tupac was being the trouble maker. It could all be blamed onto Faith Evens as many people surely do blame her, and even though she denies it in that book - it is most likely that she did have a fling with Tupac and that was the fuel for the fire.
