Standard histories completely ignore the role of the USSR in the gains we achieved during the civil rights movement.
One reason why elites were motivated to address Jim Crow was that the Soviets were getting easy propaganda layups because America was so overtly racist.
So white people ate black people, used our babies as alligator bait, used our skin for clothes, our hair as cushions, boiled us alive to make food, drank our blood for strength, and we are the violent animals?
A Chinese lawmaker delivers a brutal lecture to the United States at the UN Security Council:
"Where does a country ruled by the Epstein class, while turning a blind eye to the genocide of the Palestinians, get the moral authority to lecture us on civil liberties?"
i just heard someone on TikTok say “this is the first time in history women are dating men for their character. and that’s why no one is dating.” and she was right.
Black Panther 2 was actually a great portrayal of grief and anger. But people wrote it off because it had female leads. Can’t see anything beyond their misogyny.
🚨 SON DAKİKA:
Kuzey Kore lideri Kim Jong-un:
"Epstein davasına karışan herkesi kurşuna dizerek idam edin. Eğer bunu yapamıyorsanız onları bize teslim edin; gereğini biz yaparız."
On this day in 1919, a Black teenager drifted across an invisible line in Lake Michigan. White beachgoers stoned him until he drowned. He was 17.
His name was Eugene Williams. The "line" was the unofficial boundary between the white and Black sections of a Chicago beach. A line drawn on WATER.
Police arrived. Black witnesses pointed out the man who had thrown the stones. The officer refused to arrest him and arrested a Black man from the crowd instead.
That refusal lit Chicago on fire. Thirteen days of white mobs raiding Black neighborhoods, and Black veterans fighting back: 38 dead, 537 injured, roughly 1,000 Black families burned out of their homes.
It began because a child couldn't see a border that existed only in white minds.
This is why we have documented 150 crimes against Black people that remain unanswered for https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF
It’s really crazy that we can have Chinatown, towns based off Germany, Mexico and so much more in the U.S. but anytime Black folks built something of the sort it was burned down and met with legislative resistance
I wish it was more common knowledge that almost all regulations exist because companies weren’t doing these things on their own and bad things were happening because of it.
Damn socialists...
This is exactly how it starts.
First it's groceries 30% cheaper. Then affordable housing. Then cheaper transit. Then accessible education.
Before you know it, people won't be struggling enough.
