@phsManta You know going back to this where has all this black people should feel sorry for eastern European rhetoric come from lately ? These are some of the most racist, pro imperialist and anti black people I've ever seen yet as usual black people are expected to extend them grace.
She stood in an Alabama courtroom in 1963 and refused to answer the prosecutor. Not because of the question. Because of the name he used.
He called her Mary while every white witness that day was called Mr, Mrs or Miss.
She told him her name was Miss Hamilton, and that she would answer when she was addressed that way.
The judge held her in contempt, fined her fifty dollars, and jailed her.
She appealed. Alabama's Supreme Court upheld it. So the NAACP took it to the Supreme Court of the United States.
In 1964 the Court reversed — in a short unsigned opinion. A courtroom may not address a Black witness with less courtesy than a white one. It is known in the law as the Miss Mary case.
Think about what she actually did. She was already a civil rights worker in a dangerous state. She could have answered, finished her testimony and gone home.
She spent time in jail over one word of address — and made it a federal rule for every courtroom in the country.
@phsManta I think you should educate yourself on black American history before you type moronic takes like this. The black belt in Alabama for example has been compared to third world poverty conditions. Every " privilege" as you foolishly called it came from protesting and struggle.
That's a blatant lie and a lot of these whites from non eu nations are still blatantly racist and hostile to black people. Whites from non eu nations still benefit from white privilege as well.
every single black person from USA is way more privileged than any non-EU member white european
it's hilarious that Americans think that they're part of world underclass just because of the colour of their skin
you guys are part of the system, you too benefit from imperialism
Rest in power.

I won’t let people pretend as if your killing didn’t happen and that the killer’s ideology wasn’t mainstream in Europe.
Just so you know, ICE detaining Native Americans and refusing to accept tribal identification cards as proof of citizenship shows you that ICE has nothing to do with immigration status and everything to do with skin color.

The Trump administration even scammed ICE agents
The story gets better too…
The sign-on bonus was immediately taxed 35%, so ICE agents never received 50K. They got around 32-33K, BUT they still have to pay back the full 50K even though they never received the full amount. 😂
Notice how Obama stood on the sidelines for a decade while the US slid ever deeper into a fascism and is only now reappearing to defend the federal government now that a political challenge to the neoliberal economic order is building steam.
The thing about Trump is his corruption is so obvious that anyone not in a cult can see it. What makes Obama and Democrats so dangerous is they disguise their corruption with “moral” rhetoric that lulls the population to sleep while the bombs are dropping.
Nolan Wells didn't drown. Emmett didn't whistle. Philando didn't reach for a gun. Trayvon didn't harass. Sonya Massey didn't call the police to die. Ahmaud didn't trespass. Breonna never woke up. Sean Bell didn't make it to the altar. George and Eric couldn't breathe. Rekia didn't pose a threat. Laquan was walking away. Kendrick did not roll himself up. Mike Brown was only jaywalking. Sandra Bland did not commit suicide. Botham Jean couldnt enjoy his ice cream. Tamir Rice didn't have a gun.
