While people are focused on Standing Rock, The Gullah People are going through one of their own

Trying to spread awareness on this since it isn't being talked about in MSM and it isn't being mentioned in Black media either. Let's bring this issue to the light so it can't be swept under the rug. Spread this to as many outlets as you can.

Yeah this is a must!

Coli wolves?

This is over fukking pennies too --$250 here, $580 there--in the grand scheme of things it's not really that much. Get the word out, raise a mill and that would be enough to stop the bleeding for a good while. Then in the meantime we can strategize about fighting back more effectively

How can we help?

I knew about this matter when it was told to me from friends family who have lived in that area of S.C. for decades. This problem has been going on strong for the last 10 years since the property value is going up and white people are moving in those parts.

Can you please spread this story on your social media accounts to outlets, friends, and family so people can become aware of this?

$250 per year for at least 20yrs

$250 per year for at least 20yrs

Yeah, and that's only 5k over 20 years. Comes out to about $20 per month. Definitely an attainable goal is raising money is the course taken

Thanks for the tag breh, about to start putting this on my social now. Like others said, the amount owed isn't much, if we can slow it down, hopefully someone can come up with a solution or something long term.

It also had the backing of church leaders and county councillors, as well as the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Black Leaders yall


That 250 dollars a year is CHUMP CHANGE.I dunno their situation but if that amount of money is an issue, we as black people really need to tighten up. Anybody know if they're producing anything on the land?

 

[D-NICE]

Any brothers in The Root who don't know, @J-Nice has a thread in TLR also. Has more information on the situation, how to help, and where people can donate.

The Black Gullah are close to losing their land #PlantersvillePipeline #Black Standing Rock

They've kept much of their African culture and have resisted assimilation for so long. This is sad and depressing.
