https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DAoCJUL5G/ And the dummy doesnt care that america put her people in concentration camps and bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima...Total deaths from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the end of 1945 are estimated between 150,000 and 240,000+, with around half occurring on the first day. Hiroshima's casualties are estimated at 90,000–166,000 and Nagasaki's at 60,000–80,000, with over 90% of victims being civilians...she is so stupid and she doesnt realize who her enemy is..but want to call black people names...they called her people Japanese people, most notably "J**s" and "Nips" (derived from Nippon). Other slurs included "slopes," "zipperheads," and dehumanizing animal analogies like "rats". These terms were rampant in media, propaganda, and everyday military speech.

While a precise, universally agreed-upon total for Black deaths during the Civil Rights Movement (roughly 1954–1968) is not available, the era involved numerous documented lynchings, police killings, and racist murders. Historical records indicate hundreds, if not thousands, were killed in racial violence over the broader 20th century, with 2,911 Black Americans lynched between 1890 and 1965.Key findings regarding deaths during the era:Lynching and Violence: From 1882 to 1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the US, the majority of victims being Black.Civil Rights Era (1950s-60s): The Southern Poverty Law Center tracks "Civil Rights Martyrs," a list detailing dozens of activists and ordinary citizens killed during the height of the movement.Police Violence: A report on Jefferson County, Alabama, found 123 Black people were killed by white police officers between 1932 and 1968, with 51 of those killings involving unarmed victims.Mass Incidents: Earlier 20th-century violence, such as the 1919 Red Summer, saw hundreds of deaths, while incidents like the 1965 Watts riots resulted in 34 deaths.The total number is difficult to determine, as many racially motivated deaths were unreported, misclassified, or never investigated.

The Voting Rights Act is not a entitlement but a remedy for past and present racial discrimination, they killed lack people wanting to vote...The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was necessary to dismantle widespread, systemic voter suppression targeting Black Americans, particularly in the South, which persisted despite the 15th Amendment. It banned literacy tests and poll taxes, authorized federal oversight to stop discrimination, and forced states to preclear changes to voting laws.The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was deemed necessary because Southern states systematically disenfranchised Black citizens through discriminatory laws, violent voter intimidation, and murders of activists, particularly after intense violence in Alabama and Mississippi. It aimed to enforce the 15th Amendment by eliminating literacy tests and providing federal oversight.

Slave owners r***d female slaves primarily to assert total control over them, maximize economic profit, and satisfy sexual desires without legal or social consequences. The legal system of slavery defined slaves as property rather than human beings, granting owners unlimited access to their bodies.
Encyclopedia Virginia
This sexual exploitation was a systemic aspect of slavery, driven by several key factors:
Economic Exploitation (Slave Breeding): The most significant motivation was economic, as the slave population's reproduction ensured the growth of the master’s wealth. The legal doctrine of partus sequitur ventrem (the child follows the condition of the mother) meant that children born to enslaved women were automatically the property of the slave owner, increasing their assets.
Domination and Punishment: Sexual violence was used as a tool of oppression to dehumanize women, maintain discipline, and enforce obedience. It was also used as a tool to inflict psychological trauma and break the spirits of both female slaves and their partners.
Lack of Legal Protection: Enslaved women had no legal protection against sexual violence, and consent was impossible in an institution that treated them as property. Instances of abuse and r**e were rarely punished.
Psychological and Social Factors: The dehumanizing nature of slavery led many white masters to see black women as inherently lustful, a perception that fueled their sexual fantasies and violence.
Role of Slave Mistresses: While men were the primary perpetrators, some research shows that white women who owned slaves often facilitated or participated in the sexual abuse of enslaved women to assert their own power or out of jealousy..

He was taken from a jail cell by a mob of white men… and South Carolina called it justice for far too long.

On the night of February 16, 1947, Willie Earle, a 24-year-old Black man, was arrested in connection with the stabbing of white taxi driver Thomas Watson Brown near Greenville.

What happened next exposed the true law of the Jim Crow South.

Earle was placed in the Pickens County Jail. But a jail cell meant little when whiteness wanted revenge.

That same night, a mob of white taxi drivers and other armed men gathered in anger, many drinking and openly calling for blood. They drove to the jail, seized Earle from custody, and forced him into a car. Law officers offered little resistance.

They took him to a lonely road between Greenville and Pickens.

There, they beat him savagely, stabbed him, and shot him to death. His body was left beside the road like a warning.

This was not an ex*****on after trial.
Not proof after evidence.
Not justice after law.

It was lynching.

The murder shocked the nation because it happened after World War II, when America claimed to be fighting tyranny abroad while still tolerating racial terror at home.

State officials prosecuted 31 white men for the killing. Yet despite confessions and testimony, all-white juries acquitted every defendant. No one was punished for taking Willie Earle’s life.

His death became known as the last recorded lynching in South Carolina.

For decades, the road where he died remained mostly silent. No marker. No justice. No reckoning.

Only many years later did memorial efforts begin to acknowledge what happened there.

Willie Earle was 24 years old. He never got a fair trial, but his killers did — and they walked free.

If the courts protected the mob more than the man they murdered… who was the law really built for?
