My grandad’s grandmother was born enslaved.
She lived long enough to hold her free grandchildren.
Those hands guided my father’s.
My father’s hands held mine.
Now I hold my daughter’s.
They told us our history was gone.
It’s not gone.
It’s in our hands.

My daughter’s hands hold mine.
Mine once held my father’s.
His were guided by Eugene.
Eugene’s by Eliza — born enslaved, lived to see her family free.
Freedom travels palm to palm, heartbeat to heartbeat.

On the other app they’re calling buffalo soldiers colonizers because they lack the nuanced understanding of how deeply systems of white supremacy cut.

They’re going to keep on virtue signaling. Only way to stop our government is to take it. By any means necessary.

Mrs. Butterworth brown glass bottle from 1973, in 2020 after the George Floyd protest, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben’s, and Mrs. Butterworth and other racist stereotypes with the likeness of the “mammy” and other slave archetypes, we’re discounted and or completely rebranded.
Ahhh a racist relic of the past present and future
