“Midnight Sky & Silent Stars”

Read the beautiful letter Frederick Douglass wrote to Harriet Tubman.
"The difference between us is very marked. Most that I have done and suffered in the service of our cause has been in public, and I have received much encouragement at every step of the way. You, on the other hand, have labored in a private way. I in the day – you in the night."
"The midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism. Excepting John Brown – of sacred memory – I know of no one who has willingly encountered more perils and hardships to serve our enslaved people than you have."
(1868) Letter from Frederick to Harriet

Dear Harriet:

"Say, sir, in your madness, that you own the sun, stars, moon; but do not say that you own a man, endowed with a soul."

A Republican who fought #WhiteSupremacy; Sen. Sumner was beaten on the Senate floor for daring to belive that #BlackLivesMatter
"The anti-slavery party (Republican Party) contends that slavery is wrong, and the government is a consolidated national democracy. We of the South contend that slavery is right, and that this is a confederate republic of sovereign states."

"Keitt a conservative Democrat resigned his seat after the beating of Senator Charles Sumner on the Senate floor. He beat Charles Sumner, because he was a Radical Republican who advocated the "eradication of slavery, without compromise".
"Say, sir, in your madness, that you own the sun, stars, moon; but do not say that you own a man, endowed with a soul."

-- Charles Sumner #bhm
“If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there’s shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”

– Harriet Tubman
"Representative Preston Brooks of South Carolina, accompanied by Representative Laurence Keitt of South Carolina, severely beat Senator Charles Sumner".

“When that pharaoh chariot comes, I’m gonna leave you. I’m bound for the promise land, I’m gonna leave you. I’m sorry I’m gonna leave you, farewell oh farewell, but I’ll meet you in the morning farewell oh farewell”

Harriet's #GoodByeSong

@CultExpert This relationship between former cult members and the Evangelicals who deprogram them + their ties to the Republican party is a fascinating recurring theme.
@CultExpert The Nazis used cult tactics, too.
@CultExpert When one considers these conservative "purity test" it all make more sense. The pledging of loyalty to a set of bizarre, evolving, principles. And, if you don't adhere to them; well, you're thrown out of the group — you’re just a RINO.

You are excommunicated.

There Go Crazy Miss Daisy.

"Why y'all Blacks complaining 'bout slavery, now? The cotton has been picked and sold, we got iPhones now, and economies running on full speed; y'all should've asked for reparations - during slavey -- or at least during Jim Crow?"
A Black Libertarian view on reparations for centuries of slavery -- free labor

The scales are sometimes unbalanced
And when you bear the weight of all that has to be
I hope you see that you can lean on me.

Colorblind Racism

“If race disappears as a category of official division, as it has in most of the world, this will facilitate the emergence of a plural racial order where the groups exist in practice but are not official recognized - and anyone ....

... and anyone trying to address racial division is likely to be chided for racializing the population.”

— Professor Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Racism without Racists: #ColorBlindRacism

The ironic and inevitable consequence: Racial and Ethnic Violence. Those dissimilar identities that predate Nationalism will not bend a knee. They will refuse to be nationalized, de-negrofied, Putinized.

They will resist.

When The Kremlin says "We're not like the others" remind them that that they were often worse: They paved Wakanda and put up a Marxist statue.

They tricked African leaders to give up their local cultures for Marxism -- a German philosophy.

It's not African.
"Communism, socialism and Marxism are all ALIEN ideologies and can NEVER be defended by African tradition."

-- George Ayittey, Ghanaian economist

The Trotskys aggressively courted African leaders and stole resources to force and encourage their non- African, European, worldview on Africa — Marxism.

Karl Marx was German.
