There are plenty of good reasons for fighting...but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It's that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive. // Art: (Unknown) 'Artist's Depiction of a Lynching', displayed in 'Hateful Things', a traveling exhibit by The Jim Crow Museum, Words: Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

🕯🔮For those of you who love vintage collectibles and oddities, I have a very special offering to share with you tonight. It’s one of the rarest and most enchanting pieces of art in my collection, it’s called a Mammy Candle and she ain’t mess’n around! This candle is believed to have been made in the 1930s during the Jim Crow ara. The Mammy image serves the political, social and economic interests of mainstream white America. During slavery, the Mammy caricature was posited as proof that blacks, in this case women, were content, even happy as slaves. Well, what a crock of bullshite that is, right?! Well, unfortunately these caricatures were everywhere for a time and we still see them in our culture today. Used as household decorations, these candles were also used in voodoo ceremonies, no doubt used as protection against the enslaving white man. There is so much history behind the Mammy candle and I encourage you to learn more about it as it’s very eye opening as well as devastating to say the very least.✨The energy of this candle is very peaceful and has a very strong protective feel about it. It’s in extremely good shape considering how old it is. I would love to keep her but if you’re interested in purchasing please send me a message. I am asking $90.✨And please let me know if you’d like me to continue sharing oddities from my collection, I have some really crazy items! Please no rude or ignorant comments in this post. You will be blocked. I do not tolerate stupid.🔮🕯 #mammy #mammyart #rascistart #jimcrow #jimcrowmuseum #slavery #voodoo #voodoocandles #magic #art #antique #collection #collectibles #rare #oddities #odditiesandcuriosities #thevelvetlotus https://www.instagram.com/p/B72gF6pBIht/?igshid=15a2b6wowv238

Involving and engaging a diverse audience is one of the key challenges of tolerance work and education. Because inequality is produced and experienced in uneven ways, so too is everything that issues from it: the legacies, consequences, pain, stakes, and even awareness of and concern about inequality's very existence.

🎬Blood Brother Chronicles ™ Concept Video based off of ------📘Box set: Blood Brother Chronicles (Volume 1-9 * Spring 2019)✍🏻Author: Theodore Beaulieu 🔥The 1920's was a rough place for blacks, jews and immigrants. Jim Crow made it nearly impossible for anyone not white and baptists to live equal lives while being safe, even in their own homes. In walks two of the most famous UNKNOWN southern heroes of their age. Two half brothers rumored to have been born from hell, defending whole entire family from the Klu-Klux Clan. Ben Beaulieu and Slick SkateBlade, two demigods-half demon/half human, are based on two actual men from the 1920's, half brothers that took the law into their own hands all while changing the fate for hundreds of families all around the southern United States. @bloodbrotherproductions #louisiana #mississippi #jimcrowmuseum #jimcrow #retro #retroscifi #superheroes #retroart #amazing #trippy #lsd #trippyart #stoner #timeless #surrealart #vintage #illustration #fantasy #fiction #awesome #psych #artwork #manta #mantaray #deepsouth #scifimovies #southerfolklorebooks📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTCaoTBm7Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3n4onzy9kp83

In my personal opinion, I believe Racism is a simple form of what people would call Terrorism.

I do not think that Racism is an American value, and I actually think it stems from our own weakness as a civilized people. As a country that celebrates Liberty & Freedom, and a country that has had many, many people who have fought in countless battles & wars to preserve the values that make America unique - it’s a shame that we would have such pomposity within our own individual conflicts.

As someone who has experienced accusations of being a racist when I was a little kid - like literally I had kids shoving their fingers in my face saying I was a racist and accusing me of saying things I never said and then holding me accountable to their own psychotic paranoid delusions that I would ever talk about their family members - especially since I’m multiple races myself - I learned very early that Racism is a Problem, not a Solution (plus, I ended up finding out that it was another kid who was making the racist remarks and he was English - and I was merely accused and held accountable because we were both wearing Green T-Shirts and so the kids mistakenly thought I was the one who made the racist remarks; Yes - This shows how stupid people become due to Racism).

I have seen, lived, and had to personally experience the ignorance and overall aggression and hateful behavior that Racism breeds. It breeds more hatred. There is nothing sacred or holy about racism. I believe everything happens for a reason - I believe the Jim Crow Museum is a necessary response to what this country has grown through.

I have people in my life, some friends some family - who are straight-up racists. I don’t judge - I cannot say anything more other than I wish things would be different and actually get better. That’s the reality of this country though (and this world).

There are so many people who live here - and the promise of Freedom and Liberty and a new opportunity for all Men, Women, and Children is something that I believe all human beings are instinctually drawn towards (especially considering the astounding amount of countries that have a lot of severe problems that people cannot live with anymore so they come here just as most of our ancestors did).

People don’t like other types of people and I’m like - hey that’s you and your life, that’s not me. If I don’t like somebody it’s because of how they are, not because of their physical features. I was born and raised on American Military Bases the whole beginning of my life - and having the privilege to move from country-to-country and to live from culture-to-culture as a child - and having my own family be a diverse representation within my own life - it never made sense for me to give into my own ignorance or create a profoundly negative ability to divide my life and the people in my life due to some form of socially-perpetuated-hatred (or enabling of such hatred).

I don’t like hearing people talk trash these days - I’m so over it. I’m like look - if you have a problem with another person, or a group of people - then that’s your problem - don’t make it mine, too. (Do you think God created multiple races so you could criticize each race as if you are superior?)

I honestly think it’s all a big huge distraction that restricts the time we have left anyway. I mean at the end of the day - if a person goes on and on, and they spend a lot of time dedicating to being upset about something - whether race, sex, gender, religion, politics, sports, tv, blah, blah, yadda yadda - then that’s time you could be spending enriching your own life. Like - maybe a hobby - maybe something productive, or even something that might make you earn a better God’s honest dollar. 

Everyone has the free will to choose how they spend their time, what they believe, and all of that great stuff - but I’ll always use my free will to avoid negative conversations that go nowhere but down. If you’re a racist then please leave me out of the conversation - and if you’re not then great - more power to ya - I think it’s a good thing when we decide to make the conscious effort to behave as Civilized people would. 

Racism is not good for the soul. It’s a poison - if you want to continue having it - then I hope you have an enjoyable life, however, eventually you may realize that no one is better than the other simply due to the pigment of their skin. 

That’s how I see it. Take it or leave it. God bless.
