Opportunities that my ADOS ancestors fought and created for them

I'm genuinely confused how Jreh ended up there.




This would be like a coliBreh showing up to an Ainu tribe ceremony in Hokkaido.

"Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, founded by Booker T. Washington in 1887, was well-known by certain Japanese because “Japanese who had read Up from Slavery in translation saw in Tuskegee methods one of the means of overcoming their nation’s technological lag behind the West” and Tuskegee was “a mecca for not only Africans but West Indians and Asians.”1 The first Japanese student at Tuskegee, who enrolled “as part of a national movement to become ‘westernized,’”2 was Iwana Kawahara of Tokyo. Kawahara first arrived at Tuskegee in 1906 and graduated in 1908. Washington’s internationalism also brought to Tuskegee numerous Indian students who had escaped British rule at the turn of the twentieth century,3 offering opportunities to connect with other internationalists such as Marcus Garvey and the Black Dragon Society, who were interested in world race politics."

Looks like there was a lot of solidarity between non-white groups in the early 20th century

The Gilded Age is touching upon the Tuskegee Institute in season 2. It's interesting, but I almost always think of the Tuskegee syphilis experiments when hearing about anything having to do with Tuskegee.

"Pusey" always makes me chuckle

That solidarity and synergy still exists. Mutually beneficial.
The Black Panthers advocated for it in their era decades later. And like minded people of different races and ethnic backgrounds operate like this in the modern era.
White people are the numerical minority on this planet. They control resources and institutions.
The counter to that is building and strengthening our own institutions and networks, and controlling our resources.

Inb4 "militants" start randomly shytting on them for no reason.

 

[NinoBrown]

Certainly they carry more pride than their descendants in 2018...

Yes indeed...
