Yes, 🇺🇸 is a racist country.
From its inception to today.
It was built on it.

Barack Obama was one of the best presidents 🇺🇸 ever had but 🇺🇸 won't let it be bc he's Black.
🍊 is one of the worst presidents, if not *the* worse one, 🇺🇸 ever had but 🇺🇸 won't let it be bc he's white.
That's the story of 🇺🇸.
Racism.

In 1829, she filed a freedom suit in Washington, D.C., arguing a previous enslaver promised freedom for her & her kids. It challenged one of the nation’s most powerful politicians. ⚖️🔥

Often overlooked is the fact that Toussant L'Ouverture, "the OTHER Napolean", successfully blocked the french navy with a slave uprising, and the french Napolean had to sell Louisiana to raise funds for his treasury.

So last I checked, 92% and 80% are better than 50 percents.
So when 80%+ of ppl tell you tell you Republicans or Republican-leaning ppl aren't what's best going foward?
Listen...
....or learn the hard way.

And if you've never seen "King In The Wilderness" it's an absolute must watch and one of the best documentaries ever done.
It's told by the people who knew King best and walked with him.

"If you don't know what happened behind you, you've no idea of what is happening around you." - James Baldwin
What's happening today...
Happened before....
And when you don't know, you'll think what's happening around you is new.
It's not.

The #ACA was built on #Republican policy ideas. #Trump claims the GOP label yet attacks the very social programs shaped by earlier Republican governance; Governor Mitt Romney’s model included. #KnowYourHistory /sigh

There needs to be a rising from us that's reminiscent of South Africa and the anti-apartheid movement. They voted, protested, organized, etc 💎for many years💎 until change came.
And not only did Apartheid fall but they saw their 1st Black president.

Today, this generation of ppl is learning and being forced to understand something Coretta Scott King said a long time ago.
Someone who knew well the struggle, the sacrifice required and definitely paved the way for us today.

And the road to gaining freedom, equality, opportunity, respect, humanity, resources, etc?
Is paved with this....👇🏾
Because "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will...."

On this day in 1933, the multitalented singer, composer, and activist #NinaSimone (2/21/1933 -- 4/21/2003) was born. In her honor, we encourage you to listen to her song “Four Women” (1966).

The US already has over 75,000 detainees in detention centers. On which planet is any remotely civilized society ok with this? Oh wait, I got it. Sudan, Rwanda, Bosnia, Chechnya. 1940’s Japanese interment camps on our own soil? 1930’s Germany perhaps? Very. Slippery. Slope.
