@AfricanArchives Not the “1940’s”. The clip is from a CBS News Report that aired Thanksgiving evening, Nov 25th, 1960, titled “Harvest of Shame”. The report exposed the living conditions of migrant workers and families. The little girl was attending summer school in Atlantic City, NJ.

@shakirachi1 You’re misinformed: The human cargo of slave vessels were taken on deck daily and forced to move around (shackled) to exercise muscles and receive fresh air and sunlight (vitamin D deficiency produce Rickets). Correlation is not causation. Even still nearly 1 in 3 died.

@seeingpattern To avoid the provincial, one-dimensionality, mundanity of suburbia.

@BurnEr92976227 Ironic you say that because the 14th Amendment, which provides Americans with the Equal Protection Clause, in addition to Birth Right Citizenship was the foundational legislation granting newly emancipated Black people citizenship after the Civil War. Tell me how we “win” again?

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@DeveraMaddie Not to engage in a philosophical debate about the creation of race as social construct; but what exactly are you? And to say “American” is to suggest nationality and race are mutually exclusive.

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@DeveraMaddie Be whom ever you chose to identify as; but just a word of advice. When someone, not Black, reminds you that your are absolutely not white keep that same energy ok. Oh and race and nationality aren’t the same thing.

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@HarrietEve9 No, it’s internalized racism and systemic oppression. Attempting to sell Black people on your understanding of political party dynamics is self serving at best. Unless you’re willing to confront the true issues you are indulging in aggrandizement to undergird their supremacy

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@HarrietEve9 But isn’t the Republican party using similar strategies to undergird the identities of white rural Americans? “Our way of life” “Hard working” “Salt of the earth” Coal miners are “victims” of “Obama’s Clean energy policy” all political rhetoric to purport a positive identity.

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@HarrietEve9 Pardon me, but a simple mathematical question: Don’t most of the American population live in the “Blue” states? 73 million Americans between Boston and Danville, Virginia alone. Nearly 1 in 4 of the people in this country. 40 million in California alone. Thats math.

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@HarrietEve9 Don’t conflate what Malcolm X El Shabazz was suggesting in his speech “The Ballot or the Bullet”: he assumed that both the white conservative and liberal were co-conspirators in the act of structural racism

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@HarrietEve9 “The Southern Strategy” used by Nixon, Reagan to win the white conservative electorate was used by 45. The use of racialized rhetoric resonates with his base. Much like anyone at a Diddy party: if you’re there you must be in on it.

@Sassafrass_84 I thought your lot didn’t have any use “Big Government” 🙄

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@cdefriend It is a difference between Southern Democrats “Dixiecrats” and the Democratic Party. Actually, African American party affiliation shifted after 1933 to support FDR. The irony is that many Democrats that once held political strongholds in state legislatures, now are Republicans.

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@AsianDawn4 If there was no white supremacy, there would be no need to be the “model minority”: who would you otherwise be trying to appease and seek approval from other than the dominant culture? Who’s the “dipshit” now?

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@AfricanArchives Not “Sharecropping” but migrant workers. The CBS documentary is from 1963 is called “Harvest of Shame”

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@bfraser747 Actually that number is correct, but represents the number of White American children living in poverty. Most of them are living in rural communities; Trump’s base. Why hasn’t the Republican Party served the needs of their most vulnerable electorate?

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@its_The_Dr You mean the Black Republicans elected to office during Reconstruction and then repaid by the Republican elect president Andrew Johnson by agreeing to remove the Union Soldiers from the south reversing emancipation and ushering in Jim Crow? It’s cool how Whyte supremacy works.

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@ChuckCallesto It’s sad when AI is as dumb and binary as most human Americans.

[Ira Cohen-Hall @Istylehomes]

@RepMTG Alaska has the highest rates of sexual assault: 148 per 100K, down from 161 per in 2018. Very Far from Mexico. Compared to California 37.5, NY 33, NJ 17.5 (2023) Actually 8 out of the top 10 states for sexual assault are Red and most aren’t boarder states.

@champagneshreds If you show it, they will blow it!
