34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).

But when in doubt, blame the Black people!

BREAKING: President Biden has announced that on Tuesday he will sign a proclamation to establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till and his mother Mamie Till-Mobley.

Details:

- The National Monument will span across 3 locations in Illinois and Mississippi, and according to The Independent will "protect places that are central to the story of Till's life and death at age 14, the acquittal of his white killers and his mother's activism, which helped spark the civil rights movement."

- Emmett Till was lynched as a teen in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of whistling at a white woman.

- Tuesday is the anniversary of Till's birth in 1941.

This is an action that all Americans should be able to get behind.

Thank you Joe Biden.

Because pretty soon they goin be tryna put us back in the fields.

We’re actively losing all the rights our grandparents fought for.. every single one..

We can’t just keep complaining online, we need to organize, mobilize and make a plan.

K. Despite Tyler’s swag, Black Americans lost over 300 billion dollars worth of land in the 20th century. This land loss was was theft - contract schemes and white terrorism were used to take it. Today the top five US landowners own more land than ALL OF BLACK AMERICA COMBINED.
