Attacks on Black women in Louisiana

qweent:

If you live in the Marrero or Westwego, LA (right outside of New Orleans) area and you are a woman of color please be careful. This is second hand knowledge but a Black woman was doing her daily walking exercise and three white females rode by in a truck and started spewing racial slurs at her. She responded by saying “your mother”. The three white women turned around got out of their truck and asked her “what did you say about my mother?” The woman replied “whatever you said about me”. The three white women proceeded to jump her. The Black woman had to go to the hospital; they damaged her kidneys and she now walks with a limp. When she reported to the police they stated she was the third person to report something like this. So ladies be careful. Signal boost

Marrero and Westwego aren’t too far from me
Ugh white supremacists  

seriouslyamerica:

White women make 79 cents to the white man’s dollar.

Women as a whole make 77 cents to the white man’s dollar.

African American women make 69 cents to the white man’s dollar.

Latina women make 57 cents to a white man’s dollar.

Yeah I like this way better than the more popular iteration that’s been floating around all day. Intersectionality y’all

Black History Month…???

motopsychocircus:

If people are trying to get over racism or end it there should not  be a “black history month” We are all equal and all wrote the same story of America.We should not have a whole month for a history of one single race.


“Black History” ????


How about “Our History”


I am not being racist, just trying to get my point across here.

You can’t be serious. Two hours into Black History month and there’s this shit. 

We are all equal and wrote the same story of America

No, the white man erected this country with the blood and on the backs of African slaves. Do us all a favor and get out.

Frederick Douglass: American social reformer, orator, writer, statesman, former slave, prominent abolitionist, total fox.

My introduction to Douglass was this oration. Never looked back.
