and many of these black men will hide their true intentions under the rhetoric of black empowerment when in reality they want to recreate the same structure with them at the top. they want the same power to abuse, to oppress, to ridicule to belittle, and to rob. i have even heard this men express angry that they are not the ones taking advantage and stealing african resources (this was in a twitter space last year). their thinking is very hetro-white capitalistic but they think they’re being deep, progressive and even radically pro-black. they are NOT. smfh. wolves in sheep’s clothing. sometimes wolves in wolve’s clothing in fact.

⭐️ Fannie Lou Hamer by Allison Adams

 (1914-1977) Civil Rights Leader

Fannie Lou Hamer, a Mississippi sharecropper, changed this nation’s perspective on democracy. She worked for political, social, and economic equality for herself and all black Americans. She fought to integrate the national Democratic Party and became one of the first Black delegates to a presidential convention.

She was also the youngest among 20 children and started field-work when she was only six years old.

She had a walking disability because of polio and had an eye blood clot after she was severely beaten by the police in a Mississippi jail when she was arrested, along with five other people, for trying to register to vote.

Most of her life she worked as a sharecropper or cotton picking where she also met her husband.

She was fired as a sharecropper when she tried to register to vote and spearhead voting drives as a co-founder of the Mississippi Freedom Society. 

She underwent surgery to remove a uterine tumour and woke up to find she had been given a hysterectomy without her consent.

“If I fall, I’ll fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom. I’m not backing off.”

Black Americans are Soul People. 

The amount of times I just watched this compilation made by BlackPowerBA. I love us. We are vibrant people with a culture unlike any other.

And that double dutch transition into Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers is the chef’s kiss.
