The damn AMISH community out here protesting!!! WTF

[TheDarceKnight]

You know what though, the Amish dont exactly have a great relationship with the police either, especially with thier no snitching culture. This may be a breaking point for them too.

I've actually seen the Amish treated roughly by police and border patrol a few times back in the day. I'm kind of not surprised, and surprised at the same time.

Very good points

Shouts out to them.
I wasowas today years old when I found out the Amish were key allies with the underground railroad and openly protested against slavery.

Learn something new every day.

Google 'Levi Coffin, Quaker'​

They helped in the underground railroad ,protested slavery, and adopt black babies of mothers doing life.

So did some white people in general, and natives, and Latinos, and asians etc...

I’m trying to figure out who’s not an ally at this point.

good for those that helped but the damn Amish ain’t about to save you

Isn't there some like "Coming of Age" tradition in some Amish communities, where once they reach a certain age, they get like a few months to live in the modern world and decide if they want to come back or something like that?

I think there was a movie or documentary about about it.

Yep. It's called Rumspringa. It's usually between the ages of 14-18.

They get to leave and explore the world, and they can either come back or stay out in the world. If they choose to stay out in the world though, they lose all ties with their family and community. And if they come back home then they have to accept the Amish lifestyle forever, and they can't go back to the outside world.

It isnt about them saving us it's about showing the powers that be dat racial oppression will not be tolerated from all walks of society. Also you talking out your ass Asians and Latinos had nothing to do with the underground railroad. Also to go against your own arguement of blanketing an entire race there were Indians who engaged in the slave trade and those who didnt and helped runaway slaves.The civil rights era was a concentrated movement of many different races and back then the Karen's of the world were making calls to business and politicians trying to stop racism. Have some depth, read some books ,and learn what a catspaw is and how to use it.

Wow! Does your family still have a relationship with any of them?

I don’t know tbh, my grandparents on that side passed

This is a great time to point out that I think agents have been flagrantly spewing anti pan-anything efforts to combat white supremacy in the media.

Division is ALWAYS the end game.

The Amish/Menonites have been against the government.....

I always get it confused was it the Amish or The Quakers?

Quakers first and actually helped set up the underground railroad around Pennsylvania and Amish I believe shortly after.

Also everyone please look up Onya Judge George Washington is a evil b*stard.

I'll never forget driving through northern Indiana and seeing an Amish woman out in the yard in her dress pushing a mower getting it done....Where they make em like that
