What’s insane about the Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor situation is that the man actually had a prenuptial agreement, but he violated with his public cheating antics. THEN when she suggested splitting things evenly, he wanted to go after her money and now look 🤣🤣
They teach us that Hitler killed 6,000,000 Jews
But they don’t teach that Churchill killed 3,000,000 in the Bengal Famine
Or the King Leopold killed 13 fucking million Congolese
They are very selective about what we know and what they don’t want us to know!
How is Churchill who’s celebrated any better than Hitler?
From what I can see they’re both monsters!
In 1898, the federally appointed postmaster for Lake City, South Carolina, Frazier Baker, was lynched, along with his baby daughter, Julia. This was a lynching by bullets, which also hit his wife, Lavinia and four of their children. The crime which incensed the white mob that descended on their house (also the town post office)? That of being a black postmaster - no more, no less. And no one was ever convicted.
White supremacists all over the South were infuriated at President McKinley's postings of Black federal employees; he had spoken out against lynching in order to secure the Black vote when he was running for president. This sentiment led directly to the massacre in Wilmington later that year, which destroyed the Black prosperity in that North Carolina port and turned the previously majority-Black town majority-White, practically overnight. It also dismantled the rising and theretofore successful Fusionist party, a coalition of working class Blacks and Whites.
This picture was taken after Lavinia Baker and her five surviving children escaped and relocated up to Boston; the faces say it all.
People love to talk about 'get over it' and 'slavery was so long ago' and 'Black people love to be victims' - when the issue is truly systemic and not dismantled in a day. We will be fighting the results of how our society was formed (and how that formation is protected by white supremacy to this day) for a long time. And let's not forget that the white poor (and that of every other race) also get left behind in this scheme which only benefits the few.

Mary Fields was born enslaved around 1832 and freed following the American Civil War. In 1895, Fields was hired as a mail carrier because she was the fastest applicant to hitch a team of six horses. Fields was the first African American woman, and only the second woman, to work in the United States Postal Service. She got her nickname stagecoach because she never missed a day of work, even showing up during heavy snow by wearing snowshoes and carrying the mail packs on her back.
Fields stood six feet tall, and was a woman who commanded attention. Legend has it she wore a 38 Smith & Weston strapped under her apron and could hit anything within 50 paces.
After quitting the mail route in 1901, Fields opened her own laundry and restaurant with the help of Mother Amadeus, the mother superior of an Ursuline convent in Toledo, Ohio.
