This👇🏾 is a scene from the John Singleton's #Rosewood, a 1997 film dramatizing the real life destruction of a Black town and massacre of its people, in Florida in 1923. As for the quoted tweet? #WhiteRacialResentment is cruel regressive and destructive. #SameShitDifferentYear

Truly the dumbest people on earth

She stood in an Alabama courtroom in 1963 and refused to answer the prosecutor. Not because of the question. Because of the name he used. He called her Mary while every white witness that day was called Mr, Mrs or Miss. She told him her name was Miss Hamilton, and that she would answer when she was addressed that way. The judge held her in contempt, fined her fifty dollars, and jailed her. She appealed. Alabama's Supreme Court upheld it. So the NAACP took it to the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1964 the Court reversed — in a short unsigned opinion. A courtroom may not address a Black witness with less courtesy than a white one. It is known in the law as the Miss Mary case. Think about what she actually did. She was already a civil rights worker in a dangerous state. She could have answered, finished her testimony and gone home. She spent time in jail over one word of address — and made it a federal rule for every courtroom in the country.

Do you know what happened to Hawaii? Like Puerto Rico, Hawaiians became Americans by violence and brutal force. The powerful chorus: Thеy want to take my river and my beach too They want my neighborhood and grandma to leave No, don't let go of the flag nor forget the lelolai 'Cause I don't want them to do to you what happened to Hawaii. Lelolai is a traditional vocal refrain used in Puerto Rican folk music, particularly in música jíbaro, symbolizing cultural identity, pride, and a connection to the island

She hid in a crawlspace above a storeroom for SEVEN YEARS to stay near her children. She could not stand up once in seven years. Harriet Jacobs. She had run from a man in Edenton, North Carolina who had been pursuing her since she was fifteen. Rather than leave the state and lose her son and daughter, she went into her grandmother's roof space and stayed. She bored a small hole in the wall with a gimlet so she could see the street. Through that hole she watched her own children grow up. They did not know she was there. Her limbs stopped working properly. She got through the winters by being covered. She wrote letters and had them posted from New York so her pursuer would search in the wrong state. Seven years. Then she escaped north, got her children out, and wrote the book. When "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" was published in 1861, critics decided a formerly enslaved woman could not have written it and attributed it to a white editor. That stood for over a century until a historian proved the authorship in the 1980s. She hid for seven years to keep her children in sight, then told the truth, and they said she made it up.

Rihanna as Bubble was the best thing about this movie tbh.

I go for certain speciality items. The quality is good for yogurt cheese and meats now. ...and the German seasonal items.

A Black cadet at West Point was found unconscious in his room, tied to his own bed, with his ears slashed. The academy's conclusion was that he had done it to himself. Johnson Whittaker. 1880. He was one of the first Black cadets ever admitted. He had been ostracised for three years — no roommate would share with him, no cadet would speak to him. On the morning of April 6, 1880, he was found beaten, bound, and bleeding on the floor of his quarters. West Point convened an inquiry and decided he had staged the whole thing to win sympathy. Then it court-martialled HIM. He was convicted. The conviction was eventually thrown out by the President on legal grounds — and the army discharged him anyway on a technicality about an exam. He became a teacher and a lawyer and never talked about it much. In 1995 — one hundred and fifteen years later — the United States finally issued him a commission as a second lieutenant.

First look at Whoopi Goldberg, Jenifer Lewis, Vanessa Williams and Vivica A. Fox in Tasha Smith’s ‘WOMEN LIKE US.’ A widow is whisked away to the Hamptons on what should’ve been her 30th wedding anniversary. What starts as a getaway becomes a journey through grief, friendship, love.
