When did this happen?

erosen1.bsky.social•103 days ago

It happened in 1906. I make a Black American History Is American History post every weekday morning and always write OTD (year) and I messed this one up.

nurseboobies.bsky.social•103 days ago

Oh. Okies.

I mean, it's wrong no matter what. I was just wondering.

erosen1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Oh, I knew you were just wondering. I just left out that important fact.

I rather see these guys receive reparations who defended democracy rather than billionaires like Musk and trump rat fuck the country stealing our tax revenues.

dubeire.bsky.social•103 days ago

Absolutely 👍🏼

nighttrain-75.bsky.social•103 days ago

Reparations owed

erosen1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Absolutely!

WEIRD how we can grow up in TX, go to SCHOOL in TX & NEVER HEAR of these tragedies. Never heard of this one OR the Tulsa, OK massacre...not that far away. Had a contractor over...30-ish AA male, nice guy, from Tulsa. Said they don't TALK abt it there. How sad is that? Take care.

erosen1.bsky.social•103 days ago

They don't want it remembered so it can be repeated.

scottietakeson.bsky.social•103 days ago

No DOUBT. Can't even IMAGINE "the ride" we're in for over the next 4 yrs. I can't accept the election "results"...like it wasn't PAINFUL ENOUGH during his 1ST TERM? & NOW SCOTUS has given him FREE REIGN/IMMUNITY? Too bad @joebidenbsky.bsky.social hasn't sent Seal Team 6 to Mar-a-Lardo.

Bc they are ashamed and if it’s put in the spotlight they get angry and act nasty all over again.

scottietakeson.bsky.social•103 days ago

We often get these reminders of how ALIVE & WELL RACISM & SEXISM ARE...hard to separate them...We just got a HEAVY DOSE of it on 11/5, eh, ASSUMING Muskrat & Starlink didn't intervene...I'm still not buying it. The RACISM/SEXISM? DEFINITELY. WE SUCK.

kikihoneydip.bsky.social•103 days ago

I don’t think racism and sexism are linked. Men all over the world and of every color oppress women. They just coexist…

scottietakeson.bsky.social•103 days ago

I usually include RACISM/SEXISM/HOMO-ISLAMO-XENOPHOBIA together....just based on ignorance & w/ many a lack of what we call in nursing "critical thinking skills"..questioning. Raised it's ugly head on 11/5, eh? I'm still not buying the #'s. Guess that makes me....

erosen1.bsky.social•103 days ago

I don't buy the numbers either and i'm the opposite of a conspiracy theorist. But, too many split tickets for me to believe.

kikihoneydip.bsky.social•103 days ago

It’s mind blowing to me that white people have really just hated Black people for existing as if we made ourselves dark. They call themselves Christian and think they’re fighting us and the entire time they’ve been fighting God.. smh

erosen1.bsky.social•103 days ago

It's incomprehensible. It's why I make a Black American History Is American History post every weekday morning so it is never forgetten the racism that existed and continues. It must stop!

kikihoneydip.bsky.social•103 days ago

It will never stop but we still have to keep moving forward in spite of it. We have to call it out every single day. They don’t even realize they cannot accept the true image of Jesus. Skin of burnt brass and hair of wool.. the hateful ones will pay for their hatred on earth, they just don’t know it

Sickening.

Things haven’t changed, Hispanic and Black soldiers will probably be the majority of those sent into cities looking for immigrants.
