Reminder: Emmett Till was killed in 1955
Despite what white people of today want to believe, it was NOT that long ago. At all.
The grandchildren of slaves are still alive. There are people alive who remember segregation. Moreover, just because it was “illegal” doesnt mean it stopped. There were people living in basically slavery in the 50s. They didn’t have access to education or the outside world. Many schools didnt even BEGIN to desegregate until the 70s and 80s. All of this is VERY recent history.
Add in that green zone “mass incarceration and the war on drugs” because shit is still going on.
Slavery never ended it just changed it’s name. Share cropping, prison labor..
