Women: I want a man who cares about me.

Men: That’s why you single.

My GRANDMA

My FATHER went to a LEGALLY MANDATED segregated school until he was 8 and integration was then enforced. He was not legally allowed into a school or part of town with white people until he was almost ten

Many people forget black people couldn’t even vote until 1965. That’s not that long ago.

for the vast majority schools within the south, substantive de-segregation was completed only in like circa 1975. thats like fucking 20 years after Brown v. Board of education.

My father is 52 and he chopped cotton in Louisiana as a child until he was 11

Less than 65 years. King was murdered in 68, which was effectively the end of the movement and beginning of the Black Power era. My parents were both born in the 50s in the Jim Crow south, and remember it vividly. One of my mom’s friends was even killed at the 16th Street Baptist Church. People are delusional for acting like this was all so long ago.

There were schools in the U.S that still had segregated proms in 2012. Shit is still happening it’s not all in some distant past.

My grandpa still tells me how he wouldn’t accept a job as a police officer because he knew he’d only be allowed to give black people tickets.

And I’ve always known my aunt to be quiet but my grandma says she wasn’t like that til she had to integrate a school in the south (and part of the curriculum was washing your hair in class. Auntie said hell nah)

Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr was murdered in 1968. My mom was 18 and graduated high school in 1968. My brother was born in 1968. I was born in 1972. I have met many people who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
