How many literal chattel slaves were emancipated by the Declaration of Independence?
There’s no way anyone is this fucking dense without it being deliberate.

Not even holiday pay can be guaranteed in hourly retail positions. Holidays like Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc, are frequently big sale days without additional compensation. At least from my 14 years in retail. /sadface
I don’t get why this had to be a secret so Nestor could have a normal life.
Marsha P. Johnson throwing the first brick is not strongly corroborated for two reasons: 1) Marsha herself said many times she was not there when the riot started and arrived hours later. 2) No one knows who “threw the first brick” or more appropriately kicked the whole thing off as no one even knows if a brick was…
In somewhat similar recent news, a Calbe church put its judensau (Jew-sow, possibly worse than it sounds) statue back up, and a German judge blocked the removal of a similar statue in Wittenberg a few months ago.
It funny that you think the original July 4th had anything to do with freedom for anyone other than white men. Particularly white men who were landowners.
A different take:
Yeah, you know all these black statues just lying around because there are so many of them.. /s
This fucking lady things that we shouldn’t tear them down and said if she were a black person when she saw a confederate monument she’d be proud because of all the progress we’ve made since then. It wouldn’t be anything out of the norm to have a racist white lady say that in Georgia except for the fact she has a…
I would love to see a source on the black transwoman starting Stonewall. Because from everything I’ve read it just isn’t true and is appropriation to boot. Marsha identified as a gay man drag performer. Stormé was a butch lesbian.
White trans woman here. Yes, all trans people need support, absolutely, and I’m glad to see you wanting to offer that.
“To think the governor could take down the monument to George Washington and the founding fathers on Capitol Square”
Robert E. Lee and the other Confederates were traitors to the country that those others founded (the Founding Fathers’ own baggage aside – I personally don’t think we should, as a society, be honoring…
Why can’t I exercise my 2nd Amendment right to own a monument-busting cruise missile?
Blackness in any space, even other marginalized or minority communities, is a multiplier for hate.
The reason why there’s a lot of attention on black trans people is actually the same reasoning behind the BLM movement—these people are disproportionately victims of violence. As you saw in the post, the Brooklyn Liberation march this weekend was in response to two black trans women being murdered within 24 hours of…
How racist you gotta be to want less paid time off, if it’s a black thing??
Can I ask something here as a white cis-male who is genuinely just trying to learn and fix any problematic world views that I may have? Why does it seem like a significant portion of the conversation around pride is centered around black trans people? I know that sounds bad at face value but let me try to explain. I…
> Pride was started by black trans women.
Multnomah County, Oregon and Portland, Oregon have made Juneteenth a paid holiday for employees. OREGON!
