Dear Confederates: I took your boat, your flag, and your cannons. I gave them to the Union, to aid in your defeat. Yours very truly, Robert.

How did the Gullah language shape African American English? Listen in to this @lingopod episode featuring Charleston’s own @sunnmcheaux, who teaches Gullah in the African Language Program at @Harvard.

#tdih 1960. W. Tenn. Black sharecroppers registered to vote (to break all-white juries which denied fair trial).

White landowners evicted them in cold of winter, “barred them from buying groceries or gas, & from receiving bank loans & medical services.”

Before serving as minister in his native Haiti, scholar Anténor Firmin took a diplomatic post in Paris & joined the Society of Anthropology. His 1885 book On the Equality of Human Races used scientific empiricism to refute racist pseudoscience & pioneer modern anthropology.

I appreciate the love for Civil War hero & Reconstruction Congressman Robert Smalls, but allow me to set the record straight on some important facts that are not included or are just wrong in this popular meme.

1. Robert Smalls was born on April 5, 1839 in Beaufort, SC.

On this day in 1890, U.S. troops fired at and killed 300 Lakota People in a massacre at Wounded Knee; over half were women, children, and elderly tribal members. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/eW1mwKTCH6

The best predictor of a successful coup is a recently failed one where the plotters learn the weaknesses in the existing structure and then regroup to try again. There must be no second chances for coup plotters, which is what Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is all about.

White nationalist Nick Fuentes admits here that his bigot dad Bill Fuentes (vice president of RBI Bearing) and racist mom Lauren Fuentes (school teacher) used the N-word to refer to the Olive Garden. Nazi Nicholas Fuentes says in another clip here:

"We love Adolf Hitler."

[Robert SmaIls @Robert_Smalls62]

Nazi Nick Fuentes' twin sister and racist mom Lauren Fuentes.

A little bit surprising to see her doing TikTok videos with her bigot mom. Lauren Chicco Fuentes is a documented supporter of Nicholas' white nationalist "Groyper" movement. An evil mother who raised an devil son.

[Robert SmaIls @Robert_Smalls62]

Nazi Nick Fuentes is fed up with cowards who whine that they don't like Adolf Hitler.

"I do, and I'm tired of pretending I don't." -Nicholas

This is the white nationalist "Groyper" leader raised by racist school teacher Lauren Fuentes and bigot Bill Fuentes (VP of RBI Bearing).
