What ACTUALLY happened to our villages? | addressing the historical forces that separated us...

For generations, Black communities thrived on collective care, shared responsibility, and deep social bonds. So why does community feel so fractured today? In this video, we break down the historical forces that disrupted the Black village—from systemic policies and economic pressure to forced individualism and survival culture. This isn’t about blame or nostalgia; it’s about understanding how history shaped our relationships and why rebuilding community can feel so hard in the modern world. 🛎Make sure to LIKE 👍, COMMENT 💬, SUBSCRIBE ‼️ 🛎Please Don’t Forget to Click the Notification Bell, So You Won’t Miss Any Future Uploads. ♡ t i m e s t a m p s 0:00 start 0:53 weather talk 2:47 video last week 4:12 shout out to comment 4:26 the premise for today's video 4:54 introduction 5:43 why don't we have community 6:32 same reason we don't have social programs 7:08 what our communities represent 8:05 ring shout 8:49 churches 9:23 why our language evolves 10:40 we don't have to explain 11:06 churches 11:53 music/revivals/juke-joints 12:27 founding fathers and quarters 13:20 enter technology 13:46 loop holes 15:00 what happened to having our own 16:08 how we decided to get into civil rights 17:46 how music comes to rise 18:22 tv, media 18:34 music, love, falling away from structure 19:16 systematic break down 19:50 comedians and jokes 21:04 the role of the churches 21:35 BP and the roles 22:15 stereotypes in media and TV 23:15 playing church 24:00 the break down of the self 25:05 no fight left 26:15 current state of the black church 28:11 quick recap 28:49 separation of family 29:08 individuality vs balance 29:38 tactics of separation 38:56 recommendations 42:41 we are doing another live :) ♡ ｐｒｏｄｕｃｔｓ ｍｅｎｔｉｏｎｅｄ my amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/lilianshekinah ♡ ｃｏｎｎｅｃｔ ｗｉｔｈ ｍｅ instagram: lilianshekinah ♡ ｂｕｓｉｎｅｓｓ ｉｎｑｕｉｒｉｅｓ contact.lilianshekinah@gmail.com ♡ f a q ♡ Camera: iPhone 15 Pro & Sony ZV1 ♡ m u s i c ♡ Intro & Outro: 318tae - Honest ♡ ａｆｆｉｌｉａｔｅ ｄｉｓｃｌａｉｍｅｒ ♡ This video is not a sponsored video.
