Trump wants White men to sue for race discrimination. This man did. The Trump administration is urging White men to come forward if they think DEI policies discriminated against them. Some already have.

"The Trump administration has urged White men to come forward with bias complaints, upending decades of civil rights policy..."

"The richest Colored girl in America" was born 124 years ago today. At only 11 yrs old in 1913, the Oklahoma state legislature made an effort to declare her an "honorary white" due to her fortune.

She was a legacy of the effort to make Oklahoma a Black utopia in the late 19th & early 20th century

This is a common story from multiple wars / revolutions

China and Vietnam gave preferential treatment and leaflets to Black US soldiers during the Korean and Vietnam wars, highlighting Jim Crow and racial segregation.

Showed how they were used by the US empire despite being segregated / oppressed.

Horse jockey, boxer, musician, actor. He was also one of the most famous & successful Black Americans in the early 20th century.

Have you ever heard of Canada Lee?

If you haven't, that's by design.
He was blacklisted in the 1950s for being too "controversial".

He was born 119yrs ago today

Chairwoman Elaine Brown turns 83 today. She was the first & only woman to lead the Black Panther Party.

And she led it during its most turbulent time when Huey was exiled in Cuba & COINTELPRO had decimated its ranks.

She also oversaw the expansion of its survival programs.

Happy birthday to her

Racism is written all over this country’s history.

There is absolutely no cleaning that up, no matter how much people try to WHITEwash U.S. history.
