You're telling me that Jackass has a scene where Knoxville gets shot with riot control equipment and everyone's like "jesus they use these on people" 20 years before the 2020 protests
“The Boys” show is a peak example of American liberalism.
The show pretends to mock the far right Americans, dictators, etc.
Then they have this actor, Tomer Capone, who was an IDF soldier and confessed to abducting Muslim girls from their families and sexually harassing them.
This timeline is worth revisiting—often. American slavery lasted nearly 250 years. When it ended in 1865, freedom did not immediately translate into equal rights. What followed was almost 90 years of segregation, enforced through laws and social systems that shaped daily life across generations. Segregation was not fully dismantled until the mid-1950s.
This matters because history doesn’t exist in isolation. The effects of long-standing systems don’t disappear overnight. There are people alive today whose parents and grandparents lived through segregation, making this history far closer than it often seems.
Progress came through persistence—through organizing, legal challenges, education, and sustained civic engagement. Change required effort, time, and commitment from those who refused to accept inequality as permanent.
Sharing reminders like this isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about preserving context. Understanding timelines helps explain why certain conversations still matter and why historical awareness remains relevant today.
When history isn’t revisited, it’s often misunderstood. Remembering it accurately helps inform the present—and shape a more informed future.
Tabria Majors is creating voter guides for every single state to prepare for the midterms, (while being fine AF). She’s done Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina thus far. Amazing work.
