To justify slavery, the whites portrayed blacks as subhuman: primitive, stupid, and servile.
To justify segregation, the whites portrayed blacks as morally corrupt: ignorant, predatory, and sinful.
After civil rights, the whites portrayed blacks as evil: drug addicts, gang bangers, and welfare queens.
There has never been a point in our history when we whites have systematically and institutionally valued black lives as we do our own
People keep trying to rewrite history, but the documents are public.
The Confederacy officially consisted of 11 states that seceded from the Union:
• South Carolina
• Mississippi
• Florida
• Alabama
• Georgia
• Louisiana
• Texas
• Virginia
• Arkansas
• North Carolina
• Tennessee
The Confederacy also CLAIMED Kentucky and Missouri.
West Virginia broke away from Virginia during the Civil War because many people in the western counties opposed Virginia’s decision to secede from the Union in 1861.
And let’s be very clear: many of these states plainly stated WHY they were leaving the Union.
Mississippi said:
“Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery...”
Texas defended “the servitude of the African race.”
Georgia, South Carolina, and others complained about abolitionists, Black freedom, and threats to slavery.
This wasn’t hidden. It wasn’t subtle. It was written down in their own declarations. The Civil War never ended.
And many of these same states later:
• created Black Codes
• enforced Jim Crow
• fought school integration
• resisted the Voting Rights Act
• used terror, media, politics, and violence to suppress Black political power
History leaves patterns.
That’s why studying history matters — because some of the same states still struggle with the same racial tensions and political battles today.
Read the documents for yourself. Don’t let people sanitize history to make themselves comfortable.

a problem in the black community is that when something racist happens to us we cant ever all just stand 10 toes on the bullshit, its always gonna be somebody agreeing with the ppl who wronged us
@hafezknowsball They would suck. Too many egos. Jordan and Kobe would not mesh well. They’d be at each others throat on who’s the leader and who takes the last shot. Shaq was extremely insecure as a feature man. He wouldn’t handle being the 3rd or 4th scoring option.
@VISITFLORIDA@America250FL When i learned he opposed central banking I understood why they wanted to focus on racism in history books. We should’ve taken notes from him instead.
Elon Musk is essentially arguing in federal court that he's angry that he can't recreate the 1948-94 apartheid era of South Africa in the United States, and your dumb ass is out here driving his cars making him rich(er).
Robert F. Kennedy (Democrat), 1968, exposes his own parties plan to destroy the black community and decimate cities by creating welfare dependence (he was killed not long after)
@Johnz1pu That's how the fed works. They give you just enough truth to draw you in and gain your trust, while the whole time they monitor the comments and note who stands where.
The internet was no accident.
Its a tool the government uses to collect information on its people.
Republicans are just radicalizing a majority of Americans. They think they can have minority rule and steal everything for the rich and the people will sit there and take it forever. This includes their own voters.
Nope.
