These people do not fear a race war.

They fear there won't be one, because as Toni Morrison said, then they will be left "with their own little selves".

-Without that "everybody's bad" delusion that was propping up their justification for wallowing in their worst hateful selves.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

If that matters to you, nowโ€™s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

It is especially creepy af if you know history. The souvenirs taken from lynchings and Sarah Baartman's genitals being kept in a jar on display at a museum after she passed.

"Steel isn't strong, boy. Flesh is stronger."

The fact that the MAGAs who complain about "woke" media never understood the "woke" messages in the media they revere.

Now, they're out here walking off cliffs for a shiesty pedo Thulsa Doom:

This is as close as I've gotten to knowing how the French felt when they watched those wealthy royals get decapitated. Because I am so incandescently furious at MAGAs and the ultra-wealthy, right now.

Zorhan just got here, and he's mayor of a Liberal city... All 212 Dems voted against the big ugly bill and Hakeem did what he could to stall that. Your post isn't helping.

Please, remember that America picked this mess over a competent Black woman, and do the fun thing. #BigUglyBIll

Have you seen Doctor Sleep? Also, Netflix did a version of Let the Right One In centering a Black boy and the two young adult actresses who have portrayed Claudia on Interview with the Vampire are both excellent.

This was so widely done, abolitionists used the images of enslaved white-passing children to inspire empathy from white people for the cause against enslavement.

The photo of Mary Mildred Williams, an example of a white passing enslaved child, was the most famous that propagandized for the cause:

...And thus white owners could maintain the inherited wealth of their "chattel". My mother bounced on the knee of a formerly enslaved man...so imagine the kind living memory of the 1930's the amount of white-passing people who were formerly enslaved and their children.
