Indentured servitude was not equivalent to chattel slavery. Indentured servitude was limited to a short period. After which, the indentured apprentice could then buy land, marry, work for pay, etc.
The Irish were not enslaved...

While #ADOS are being pushed to homelessness, I walked past three homes in my community that were playing that Mexican merry go round music too loud. My community was once all ADOS.
All we do is pave the way for immigrants to live the American dream. Once we fight for it & set it up, they move in.
@thejbratc@WhozMEECH Shaq, Karl Malone (retired), Gary Payton, Derek Fisher, and Rick Fox were not with the Lakers the following season. Just say that you didn't watch the games...
On this day in 1963, 24 hours after three Georgia movie theaters began operating on a racially integrated basis, protests from white community members led the theaters to restore segregation practices.

This is Utterly Disgusting when you ponder over how much this country has spent funding & protecting "Illegal Immigrants" the last 5 years and counting.

🚨 White Man tries to kidnap Black woman by pretending to be a cop — she gets rescued by truck driver.
In Aiken County, South Carolina, a young woman who had just graduated ran into traffic on a rural road, begging for help. She had escaped a white Cadillac after 39-year-old Jonathan Willard posed as a police officer, handcuffed her, took her phone and diploma, and tried to run her over when she fled.
Truck driver Anthony Moore stopped his rig. The woman jumped in as Willard approached claiming to be law enforcement. Another driver called 911 and helped remove the handcuffs.
Willard took off but was quickly arrested and charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and kidnapping.
What would you do if you saw someone running into traffic screaming they were being kidnapped?
But when we as Black-Americans want to be proud of who we are, our history, culture, and ethnic identity. We are labeled "divisive" even though we are in our own country and don't have an immigrant background like you and other Afro-Caribbeans.
1. You’re old enough (36!) to have witnessed this isn’t true
2. I know you’ve seen these graphics that have come out just this past week.
Put this narrative to bed. You know better.
Cyrus Carmack-Belton was 14 years old when he was chased over 100 yards, shot in the back and murdered by gas station owner Rick Chow.
Chow was willing to murder Cyrus over a stolen water bottle.
It turns out Cyrus didn’t steal anything.
Chow was found not guilty of murder.
