“In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant. In 1848, legislators passed a new law declaring that all children born in the penitentiary of African American parents serving life sentences would be property of the state. The women would raise the kids until the age of ten, at which point the penitentiary would place an ad in the newspaper. Thirty days later, the children would be auctioned off on the courthouse steps ‘cash on delivery.’ The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children… many of [the black children] were purchased by prison officials.”

WHY DIDN’T THEY TEACH YOU ABOUT THIS IN HISTORY CLASS?

The Christian Movement for Life, aka, MOVE

a pro-green, vegan, anti-technology group

living in a house in West Philadelphia

BOMBED by the Philly PD, from the air, on May 13, 1985

YES, 1985!!!

the city killed 11 people (5 children), burned down 65 homes in a Black, middle-class, West Philly neighborhood, and caused $50,000,000.00 damage - all to “evict” the group and recover two shotguns

You know of Mumia Abu-Jamal (3rd photo from bottom) but did you know he was affiliated with MOVE?

Ramona Africa (2nd photo from bottom) and one child survived

MOVE leader John Africa was murdered that day

This was not the ONLY time an American city was bombed, btw. The first time, it was ALSO whites bombing Black people. And you want to talk about TERRORISM??? 

And what else don’t you know about your country and it’s treatment of Black people?

Get to Googling… AND Youtubing…

[sungodsinexile]

The US government dropped a bomb on a row house in a major American city and no one ever seems to mention it

[nefertiti--edgeskinky]
