Throughout the many incarnations of systemic racism in this country, the reality is that Black lives matter but only in relation to more valuable white lives.

Never allow anyone the power to stop you from what you're destined to do! BE GREAT! Just look how unbothered this black queen is. The hate from our oppressors is so real, you can almost feel it through this photo. Remember how hard we fought....how hard we have to fight now. Never... EVER let them win. We are better than what they portray us as. #racism #hatecrime #blackoppression #slavery #fightforyourrights #blackqueen #amerikkka #nevergiveup #unplug #whiteprivilege #segregation #martinlutherkingjr #malcolmx #jimcrowlaws #theywanttobeus #goddess https://www.instagram.com/p/BsYyuVHBIh5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ev28gobd9dfr

Are you proud

Today is the 241st birthday of the United States, although we acknowledge that both natives and colonists lived in America long before then. So let’s look at some logistics of our history, particularly human slavery, in the U.S.:

Black enslavement in the U.S. lasted 246 years (longer than the country’s been a country). It has only been 152 years since slavery ended. Only 69 years has passed since the U.S. armed forces were integrated. Brown vs. Board of Education occurred a mere 63 years ago. Black women in the South could not vote until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

We’ve had slavery in this country almost 100 years longer than we haven’t.

With the u.s. election embarking on us, make the best choice u deem appropriate. Equality cant be achieved in a 4 yr term let alone a lifetime but as long as you believe in its concept and respect it, anything is possible. #fightforyourright #equality #humanity #humanrights #blackoppression #racerelations #gayrights #transgenderrights #policebrutality #socialissues #election #usa🇺🇸 #spokenword #reality #tbt #politics #rawwattage

“Now, Jimmy Crow (as some have called this current era of racial caste by way of mass incarceration) continues the legacy of different rules for Black Folks within a seemingly integrated system of justice.”

It is learning how to stand alone, unpopular and sometimes reviled, and how to make common cause with those others identified as outside the structures in order to define and seek a world in which we can all flourish.
