A word to the wise: Hate is expensive. The price you have to pay is costly and will affect you in many ways. It takes a lot of energy to hate. Why do that to yourself? 🤔 Consider love. It's fulfilling and brings rewards on its own. The best part, fam? It's free. ❤️

So much to be embarrassed about in this fucking country and this wasn't even the worst example.

I cannot imagine feeling the way those people do. So happy in their pure hate.

That time when segregationists carried a coffin with a Black baby doll. The purpose? They didn't want six-year old Ruby Bridges to integrate an all-white school. This is more than just a photo. It's a receipt. This is your history, America. Own it.

Goes back to this. There was always agency - even among poor white women who didn't own slaves. The ideal for white women's place in society was set on this archetype of "wife and mother" and it trickled down to all socioeconomic levels, not just plantation owners

It's still happening, only now it's state-sanctioned, under the guise of "school choice."

I'm the same age. This is not some distant past we're talking about (or, rather, NOT talking about). Not dealing with. My parents were civil rights and labor rights activists in the 1950s and 60s. I grew up going to demonstrations. They died in the 90s, and I can't imagine what they'd be thinking.

Racism is one of the US’s biggest exports. It’s a purely American problem that is unfortunately taught. We need stop hating & start celebrating everyone’s culture & contributions .

I've never seen this picture before. It's horrific. A baby in a coffin? There's something broken in people like this. I'd say the woman in front with the big mouth would be 100 by now. Most likely dead. It's all ages in that crowd 😭

I know this all too well. I grew up in south Louisiana, the same state this happened in, during Jim Crow & the implementation of desegregation. It wasn't until 1967 that my elementary school was desegregated. I was in 1st grade. My bff was a member of 1 of the 2 Black families bussed in.

Everyday. They bullied her & called me names. I wasn't hurt by the names they called me. I was hurt by what they'd do to her. I was hurt by her hurt so I stayed beside her during lineups & on the playground during recess The stuff that happened in The Deep South during these times: horrorifying

It’s so hard to see how these grown adults acted about this little girl. And she’s just a few years older than me and still walking around. 😒 I can’t imagine how she feels today seeing everything being done to erase the progress she fought so hard to achieve and the abuse she took. 😔

Wasn’t she the little girl that Lyndon Johnson walked into the school himself? This was sickening to read, but thanks 😊 I’ve only met one racist nurse in CA and when she said, we should go out for coffee, I gave her a wrong number and hoped I’d never see her again! Fuck racists!

Lincoln should’ve hanged ALL the Insurrectionists after the civil war and we wouldn’t be dealing with their Evil 😈 Spawn now!! I blamed it on poor education 10 years ago, but tramphitler and these racist fucks have changed me and damn them for that!

I grew up in that time in Alabama. I was lucky to have liberal parents who enrolled me in the first desegregated elementary school in my town. It was near an army base and I was lucky to go to school with children of all races and different cultures. I am better for it.

Look at these happy faces. Bad culture. Anti-human culture. These are the people so ashamed of the evil in their hearts that they lie to pollsters about what they support, then vote with their evil hearts anyway. Fight back, make retrograde racists crawl back under their rocks.

Wonder if these people are still alive. Are they the mother's and aunts of all of the assholes that are in gop Congress right now? Relatives of these people let us know how your lives are now.

I've always wanted a documentary filmmaker to find the people in the photos or their offspring- especially the ones standing next to hanging body. Where are they now?

The author actually sympathizes with Native Americans and that's interesting to me as it was published in 1910.As always people get power that are evil and regular people are like "wtf stop it"

The excitement in her expressions makes my stomach turn. What have we ever done to deserve this? Dear white people, there’s a lot of work to undo generations of harm. You can start with reparations by supporting Black folks’ emergency mutual aid. My emergency relocation fund ⬇️ ko-fi.com/ciara93086

Devastating news. 💔 Dolores Huerta was the backbone of the American labor movement, and I hope history remembers her that way. She co-founded the United Farm Workers, fought tirelessly for working people, and gave us the rallying cry “Sí, se puede!” Rest in power, Dolores Huerta. 🕊️

Wonder how many of them gave birth to some of the current day Maggots? I have a magnet on my fridge that is Norman Rockwell’s drawing of little Miss Ruby.

They look so JOVIAL. Positively happy to be out in public, celebrating meanness and threatening murder to a little child.
