On this day in 1991 Comedian John Elroy Sanford a.k.a Redd Foxx, died of a heart attack 🕊

Did you know that he and Malcolm X were best friends and worked together as dishwashers at the same restaurant in Harlem in the 1940s. The staff called Foxx “Chicago Red” and Malcolm “Detroit Red”.

—Remembering Redd Foxx (Dec 9, 1922 – Oct 11, 1991)—

He portrayed Fred G. Sanford on the television show Sanford and Son and starred in The Redd Foxx Show and The Royal Family. His film projects included All the Fine Young Cannibals (1960), Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970), Norman... Is That You? (1976) and Harlem Nights (1989).

Red Foxx was birth named John Elroy Sanford in St. Louis, Missouri and raised in Chicago's South Side.

His father, Fred Sanford, an electrician and auto mechanic from Hickman, Kentucky, left the family when Foxx was four years old. He was raised by his half-Seminole mother, Mary Hughes, from Ellisville, Mississippi, his grandmother and his minister.

Foxx attended DuSable High School in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood with future Chicago mayor Harold Washington. Foxx had an older brother, Fred Jr., who provided the name for his character on Sanford and Son.

In the 1940s, he met Malcolm Little, later known as Malcolm X. In Malcolm's autobiography, Foxx is referred to as "Chicago Red, the funniest dishwasher on this earth." He earned the nickname because of his reddish hair and complexion.

October is Gullah-Geechee and Hoodoo Heritage Month. I usually post a lot of facts about Sea Island Creole, aka Gullah-Geechee culture, but I am too busy to do so this month as I am in the final stretch of my campaign.

However, feel free to check my archive.

Reparations is a working class issue, a progressive issue, and something that anyone who claims to support justice *should* support.

Reparations are not a new idea, our country has paid them to other groups before.

Black Americans are owed a debt.

Today's MoT
Delayed but not defeated! This afternoon's briefing picks up on yesterday's. DL Hughley and Roland Martin are attacking Janet Jackson.
We're going to ask, why do these bootlicks get angrier at black people than they do racists and Republicans?

Black America was great right after reconstruction where we cut our illiteracy rate almost to single digits, had the highest marriage rate, registered 50,000 patents, built strong economic bases all over the US, and created our own industries without relying on the white dollar. https://t.co/jVNIYy0UuO

Janet Jackson is right. Kamala is not black according to Judge Joe Brown who knew Kamala’s dad personally. He says Kamala’s dad identified as Irish Hindu.. a descent of Jamaican slave owners

[Cointel Bro 🇺🇸 @cointel__bro]

DL Hughley has empowered & encouraged whites to attack Janet Jackson. Where are all the “I hate Black men” septum ring warriors at to defend a female Black icon’s honor?

“WHERE IS THE PROTECT BLACK WOMEN CROWD?”

Never existed. It has always been “Protect liberal agendas.” 🙊
