The RACIST consequences of good (liberal) intentions gone awry ...

The Libertarian @Reason Foundation - "The Tragedy of Urban Renewal"

Cobblestone Conservative: How Jane Jacobs saved New York City’s soul.

theamericanconservative.com/articles/cobbl…
"Sixty years ago, lacking the benefit of hindsight, planning officials honestly believed that by bulldozing neighborhoods and replacing them with modern towers, highways, open space, parks, and playgrounds they could cure poverty and save the city. ...
"The woman who proved that it wouldn’t work was an eccentric freelancer named Jane Jacobs. In her 1961 classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jacobs assaulted a century’s worth of received wisdom in urban planning.

The Black Mexican President

It is #MexicanIndependenceDay.

What a wonderful day to talk about Africans in Mexico, to talk about Vicente Guerrero — the Afro-Mexican President.

- He abolished slavery

- He gave rights to the indigenous people of Mexico

He was executed for it.
Wakanda in Mexico?

Vicente Guerrero: The first Afro-Mexican President of the Americas

"His presidency championed the cause of Mexico's common people, and abolished slavery on a NATIONAL level."

1819; the Spaniards sent Guerrero's father to plead for an end to his rebellion.

The response: "Compañeros, this old man is my father. He comes to offer me rewards in the name of Spain. I have always respected my father but my homeland comes first."

When Black Meant Republican

By @ChrisALadd

It’s easy to forget now, but just a few generations ago African Americans overwhelmingly identified themselves as Republicans.

In the fall of 1895 Atlanta put on one in a series of “International Expositions” designed to highlight its progress in recovering from the war. Racial tensions had been growing since southerners, at the end of Reconstruction, began instituting Jim Crow laws.
The organizers of the Exposition invited prominent black leader Booker T. Washington to give a keynote address. The position he took in that speech was a calculated gamble. Image

My Name Is John Punch: I am the first LEGAL #racialslave in human history.

I do not remember much about my past. That said, I do remember I wass born in the most beautiful place in the world —Africa.

I don't recall where in Africa.

Maybe Cameroon, Gabon or the Ivory Coast.

"It is a sad truth of our history that American slavery based on race was invented in Virginia, very close to where I sit today.'

@NAACP_LDF @VP
Within the jungles of white supremacy exist a silver lining: They truly believe their encountering "inferior" races --monkeys. And, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Let them think that they're dealing with monkeys.
It will be the worse mistake they'll ever make.

Chris Rock on 'He speaks so well'

"Whenever Colin Powell is on the news, white people give him the same compliments: 'How do you feel about Colin Powell?', 'He speaks so well! He's so well spoken. I mean he really speaks so well!' Like that's a compliment.”
He speaks so well' is not a compliment, okay? 'He speaks so well' is some shit you say about retarded people that can talk."
“What do you mean he speaks so well? He's a fucking educated man! How the fuck did you expect him to sound, you dirty motherfucker?”

"We are a society that has been structured from top to bottom by race. You don't get beyond that by deciding not to talk about it anymore. It will always come back; it will always reassert itself over and over again."

(Thread) Abortion, Evangelicalism, and White Supremacy

Their FIRST “moral” crusade wasn't against abortion or homosexuals: It was against African American Christians.

“Race, not abortion, was the founding issue of the religious right”

#AbortionBan
“In 1971, two years before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, the biggest white evangelical group in America, the Southern Baptist Convention, supported its legalization. The group continued that support through much of the 1970s. “
