Alot of race tension in here (like opening your comments about the ocean pollution by saying its wet but stick with me) but I want to remind everyone ALL, and I mean ALL the stories the big networks run with should be seen throught the lens of how it can be used to divide people who live similar lives with similar values despite what the TV news stations want us to think.
I wanna share a photo from 1932 from
The Bonus March, a reprihensiable incident in american history where WW! veterans marched on Washington for a delayed "pension payout" (oversimplification in specifics but very accurate in description), it was the great depression and they basically said we cant starve now to get out payments in 5 years for a war we fought 2 decades ago all for a payment promised to be here by now.
When they got to Washington an set up a peaceful ORDERLY camp
Hoover called MacArthur (yes THAT MacArthur) and said
"get the fucking tanks"
ANYWAY long walk for a short drink of water but the photo I want to share isent the camp or the crushing excerpt where we learn Macarthurs first command was putting down starving American veterans in the streets like dogs.
It was
THIS
FUCK I wish I could put this image on every town hall in America its so fucking beautiful, it needs so little explanation as long as you know the context its taken in but even then it just screams on its own. bloodied white and black Americans shoulder to shoulder against federal tyranny with Old Glory flying proudly behind FUCKKKK
Black people dident "devolve" since 1932 they have been used and abused by the same people that control us poor whites, its just different how they do it to give the illusion that someone must be fucking up correctly or something.
I just cant get over this photo, big white homie in the center has a BLEEDING HEAD but he is stalwartly facing AWAY from the direction of his injury for the knowledge that his steel jawed comrade will not allow him to be assailed from that direction.
just to close the point, dont give in to hate, im not saying you have to be a nigger lover but just dont let handpicked hyper broadcasted incidents harden your heart while turning your mind away from all the evidence that shows we are one single species of very different people, but they are all our brothers anyway
