The Bates family moved from Tennessee to Nicodemus, Kansas during the Black homesteading movement. African Americans successfully homesteaded in all the Great Plains states. The Nicodemus Town Company was formed in 1877 by 7 Kansans (1 white & 6 Black). Today 45 descendants reside in the community.

Ernest Just (b. 1883) was a biologist & Howard professor whose advances in cytology earned him a National Research Council fellowship from 1920 to 1931. He was the 1st American invited to conduct research at Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute & authored The Biology of the Cell Surface in 1939.
I keep seeing memes like "America is 1930s Germany."
No America is America.
Slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese Internment, Operation Wet Back, and what's happening now are all American as Apple Pie.
We don't have to look elsewhere for fascism it's always been here.
I don't think they're ready to educate themselves on the many non-Black ethnicities in Africa. For E.g., African-born Koreans in Kenya, Ivory Coast, proudly identify as Africans. The world is much more than their narrow mindset.
To "upset the left" is the chief aim of many on the right. It's time to stop getting upset and to even flat out ignore at times. Stop responding to them. This in turn very much upsets the people who live to "own the libs".
War,
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shahβs brutal rule.
Jan 6th was just a continuation of the Civil War. The confederates won, because America *refused* to let them lose.
I bet there won't be any "thank you for your service" for the invasion of their own country.
Incredible education! ππ½ ππ½
Maybe it's time for those who constantly dismiss and ignore other people's suffering, finally suffer the consequences of their own actions. Let Black America rest, for God's sake!
Everything thatβs happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
The most fundamental characteristic of fascism is its cult of violence. Where there is no pre-existing violence to exploit, violence must be manufactured.
"If you think you're too small to make a difference you haven't spent a night with a mosquito."

This! And they didn't cower just because he threatened them with martial law...

This beautiful book has been banned. So I got my copy #ReadBannedBooks
I suspect the fascists are actively looking for reasons to hurt and kill. No matter how peaceful a protest is, they'll always find ways to infiltrate and get people hurt.
You cannot scare Black people in the USA with βthey gone come after you nextβ
Like be for real πππππ
All of this goes to show how none of yall pay attention to the history of the USA.
It's probably the reason why the world is messed up in the first place. π₯²

Here's hoping the AA community continues to rest.ππ½
We know they're trying to bait you into going out on these dangerous streets. Stay strong and resist the devil at all costs. ππ½
Some quotes lose their magic with repetition but this one by Maya Angelou remains ever green:
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are"
There are a lot of non-white groups in this world, but the main obsession of racist people is exclusively and always human beings with Black skin.
This is insanity! Anyway, I hope they kept some for Musk, Trump, Miller, and all the other anti-everything cultists. Sharing is caring.
They always start with "I like Trump, but..." or "I voted for Trump(three times), but...". It's like they're apologizing to the cult for whining for something they absolutely voted for.
