"We bled Africa for four and a half centuries. We looted their raw materials, then we told lies that the Africans are good for nothing. In the name of religion we destroyed their culture. And after being made rich at their expense, we now steal their brains through miseducation and propaganda to prevent them from enacting Black retribution against
US." ~ Jacques Rene Chirac, former
President of France
This are the words of Jacques Rene Chirac not me.
Protecting democracy isn’t a single vote in November, it’s:
-Abolishing the filibuster
-Expanding the Supreme Court
-Fair maps at the state level
-Expanding voting rights
-Banning congressional stock trading
-Campaign finance reform
Slavery did NOT end in 1870.
Remember as recently as 1965 the descendants of slaves COULDN'T VOTE yet were paying taxes and drafted into the military.
Poor whites did NOT have that issue and NEVER DID. Just like on the plantations.
That's not "like" slavery. That IS slavery.
We have Black members of Congress supporting funding for Ukraine and Israel but won’t advocate for reparations for Black Americans.
Black voters should tell them to ask Ukrainians and Israelis to vote for them when they run for reelection.
I am begging ya'll to get things down in writing. Wills, living wills, titles, deeds, life insurance policy paperwork, *any* beneficiary paperwork NOW. Do not wait until a death occurs. Get it verified. Make multiple copies. I cannot tell you how hard it is to deal w/ afterwards.
We've pulled ourselves up by our own bootstraps through communal efforts but every prosperous Black Town in this country is under water, a highway, industrial area, state park, or desolate. Whites & their govt have destroyed everything we've built to ensure we don't prosper above them.
this black history month, remember that Congo is currently fighting for freedom from slavery right now! boycott big tech companies, do whatever you can !!!!
