as funny as the kirk memes are, the fact that we stopped hearing about his killer once we found out he was white speaks volumes. if he were black, we’d still be seeing his face everywhere. no black person would’ve been allowed to forget him. that’s painful to think about.
Black leftist think every other minority is committed to the fight against white supremacy in this country. They aren't. They're here to take full advantage of American hegemony.
On this day in 1919, a Black teenager drifted across an invisible line in Lake Michigan. White beachgoers stoned him until he drowned. He was 17.
His name was Eugene Williams. The "line" was the unofficial boundary between the white and Black sections of a Chicago beach. A line drawn on WATER.
Police arrived. Black witnesses pointed out the man who had thrown the stones. The officer refused to arrest him and arrested a Black man from the crowd instead.
That refusal lit Chicago on fire. Thirteen days of white mobs raiding Black neighborhoods, and Black veterans fighting back: 38 dead, 537 injured, roughly 1,000 Black families burned out of their homes.
It began because a child couldn't see a border that existed only in white minds.
This is why we have documented 150 crimes against Black people that remain unanswered for https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF

The reason millennials are so nostalgic is that they got a brief taste of a world that wasn’t entirely controlled by the stupidest people who’ve ever lived.
