Did you know black folks gave cacs that work during the Washington D.C 1919 race riots?

Funny how this same exact rhetoric is still being espoused today.

This was the first thing that jumped out at me. You can see that this narrative is still being put forth just by looking at the cosby case.

This was amazing to read. During this time black wall street was probably thriving. Our collective mentality was strong them. It's obvious why they suppress this information.

Yall heard of the division of black troops in WW1 that were the only thing stopping France from being steamrolled by Germany? When these men got back, they weren't having none of that fukkboi Cac mob shyt.

Roots the Next Generation touched on this a bit, but even tho they whitewashed it a lil bit:



They strapped up and were sniping Cac b*stards

They are countless of stories of black men defending themselves against white mobs. Even the biography of Booker T. Washington detailed the stories of retaliation by black men when they are facing danger. For some reason, racial war stories remained in the dark. Black defending themselves and retaliating rarely receive any mainstream exposures.

This cartoon, published in the Washington Bee, a black weekly, highlighted a major problem during a riot in the nation’s capital in July 1919: police failed to stop white mobs from attacking African Americans. “Oh! Why don’t you stop them?” the woman on the right asks. “Ha, ha. That’s what I would like to know,” the officer replies. According to another Washington, D.C., newspaper, a police officer actually said this to an observer during the riot.

This was before Martin Luther king brainwashed black folks into being simps

MLK didn't pacify blacks, Christianity did. Nearly ever revolt to date has revolved around the church. Pay attention next time something climatic happens into blacks. The first thing they do is call the clergy and ask for help in reliving the "hood" shyt is a game

Back then blacks were united and un infiltrated by c00ns bedwenches and shameful pawging that makes black men weak today and sistas hate themselves and their men.

Imagine a 17 year old black girl shooting a cop then, can it happen today?

Not on your life.

We need to wake the fukk up.

And this history needs to be thought to all blacks...

The Jews never forgot..neither should we.

Sociologist Arthur Waskow, who interviewed riot survivors in the 1960s, said the experience gave them a new self-respect and "a readiness to face white society as equals. . . . The Washington riot demonstrated that neither the silent mass of 'alley Negroes' nor the articulate leaders of the Negro community could be counted on to knuckle under."
