Exactly.
Demanding poor folks have a traumatic story to share or be the most vulnerable to ask for help or money, that you don’t have to give and weren’t going to give, is very white. In this essay I will…

I genuinely wonder how this contributes to the ancestors being prevented to learn and can be jailed for it in this timeline, how they survive with Deafness and Blindness not having anatomy to read, learn, write, etc.
This been on my mind as a child to adulthood.
On this day in 1847, Missouri passed an act that prohibited Black people from learning to read and write and assembling freely for worship services. The act also forbade free Black people from migrating to the state.

Don't talk to me about "how did this happen" in a nation full of sundown towns & the burned out husks of Black communities destroyed by white people.

Don't come at dems with that passive aggressive, malicious compliance "do something" horseshit. White America yelling that at Black America is gross
