Y’all remember Olympic athlete Jesse Owens, who flaunted the Nazi regime by Kicking Ass As A Black Man, right? Who later came home broke and in need of ways to make money.
Know who also did that? Olympic medallist Jamie Baulch [x]
And here’s another article. Guess who’s at the top? Usain Bolt.
Y’all remember 2005, when American Pharaoh won the Triple Crown, and Serena Williams had to deal with being contested by a damn horse, right?
Where, out of nearly 600,000 votes in the Sports Illustrated online poll, Serena collected just over 5,000 votes (about 0.9%), while American Pharoah romped home with over 275,000.
Let’s not forget that the largest slave auction in US history , known as The Weeping Time, where over 400 black slaves were brought to a racetrack in Savannah, Georgia, and held in horse stalls, sometimes for weeks on end.
“He reported how the slaves, eager to impress potential masters who they perceived as kind, would sometimes cheerfully respond to buyers “pulling their mouths open to see their teeth, pinching their limbs to find how muscular they were, walking them up and down to detect any signs of lameness, making them stoop and bend in different ways that they might be certain there was no concealed rupture or wound… .”
“The latter gentleman was very loquacious, dwelling at much length upon our several good points and qualities. He would make us hold up our heads, walk briskly back and forth, while customers would feel of our hands and arms and bodies, turn us about, ask us what we could do, make us open our mouths and show our teeth, precisely as a jockey examines a horse which he is about to barter for or purchase.”
The ‘Did you just compare black people to horses?’ video
“ “It’s like your horse. You own your horse. You don’t abuse it your horse. You take care of him, you pet him, you feed him good,” “
Comparing black people to horses and livestock? Not new.
