Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.

More than 60% of the world's cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.

Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.

Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

La República Democrática del Congo vive un genocidio silencioso. Millones de personas están siendo asesinadas para que la parte occidental del mundo pueda beneficiarse de sus recursos naturales.

Más del 60% de las reservas mundiales de cobalto se encuentran en el Congo, y se utiliza en la producción de teléfonos inteligentes.

Los países occidentales están proporcionando asistencia financiera militar para invadir regiones llenas de reservas y en el proceso millones de personas mueren y millones se quedan sin hogar.

Las empresas mineras multinacionales están esclavizando a la gente, especialmente a los niños, para trabajar en las minas.

Folklore got to explore a museum!!

Can you guess which one it was?

It was a very fun trip provided by our school! I’m so glad we where able to go and learn our history! Folklore likes more fantasy then fiction as it’s far less brutal but he enjoyed learning none the less!

watching Black Panther Wakanda Forever in a full theater was an experience. we wept, we cheered, we gasped together. but the love for this project was so real. It was a different energy than watching the first one. but it was also the same, you know? that sense of pride and achievement i felt in that theater as a black person was strong.

was the story perfect? i don’t give a shit.

i loved every single fucking minute of it.

Black Americans deserve to seperate our identity from the identities of others in America. We are not JUST american. We are black Americans, fba, ADOS, whatever we decide to use to seperate ourselves until we collectively decide for ourselves who and what we will be called.

I don’t hear Creek people saying YOUR NOT CREEK YOUR NATIVE AMERICAN.

Like be real. For CENTURIES we’ve been being told who we are and what we’ll be called. We’re ok with it. But we complain when others try to step in and be the voice of our people.

Heavy crabs in the barrel, deeply rooted. I’m stressed

Faceless. || Our flaws:

No solo is at fault.

She did it.

It wasn’t me.

The devilish deeds were done by him.

Her stone offered the fatal blow.

Fabrics of the minds

that were once woven

and sown as one,

now tread apart

as threads now seem to leave the womb seams.

The last sound was a screeching scream.

Only sightings of shadows spotted at the scene,

where we were

once a society. // #nublaccsoul #socialcommentary #poetry

For to long the people of not only America, but also the world, has had do deal with this fascist, gluttonous, grotesque excuse of a "man". His rule of tyranny nearly left millions of people in despair, poverty, pain, and sorrow to people who just want happiness, equality, and generosity to the world that has been plunged into darkness by the hands of monster like Trump that are filled with Hate, Greed, Selfishness, and Ignorance. But I say "No More Shall We Be Bound By The Chains of Hate and Cruelty! No More Shall We Be Silent For What is Truly Right For The World! They Might Have The Land, But We're The Ones The Holds The Power Of Not Only Kindness, but of Compassion, Charity, and Generosity!"

The Horrors of Lynching: Photographs and Postcards

Note to readers: This post contains graphic and disturbing images.

During the late 19th and early 20th century, thousands of photographs and postcards of Black Americans killed by white mobs in racist terror lynchings were collected, traded and sent through the U.S. postal service.

The postcards and photographs, depicting gruesome images of the bodies of Black men, women and children who had been tied to trees, mutilated, tortured, shot and burned alive by white mobs, were often distributed as souvenirs and saved as mementos in family albums and stored away in attics for safekeeping.

The lynching photographs often captured the bodies of the murdered Black Americans and the hundreds of white people — including children — who gathered to witness the public spectacle of lynchings. According to historians, in more than half of these photos and postcards, white people were shown smiling and celebrating the spectacles.

WHITE PEOPLE MONETIZED THE MURDER OF BLACK PEOPLE

Lynching photographs and postcards were shrewdly distributed — often for profit — across communities by hand and through the U.S. mail. They were often sold for as little as a quarter, which would be worth about $3.46 today.

Los horrores de los linchamientos: fotografías y postales

Nota para los lectores: Esta publicación contiene imágenes gráficas e inquietantes.

Descripción de primera imagen: [Cinco afroamericanos fueron colgados de un cornejo en el condado de Sabine, Texas, en 1908 como "una advertencia para todos los negros".]

Traducción de la postal:

Esta es sólo la rama de un árbol de Cornejo;

Un emblema de la SUPREMACIA BLANCA.

Una lección que una vez se enseñó en la escuela de los Pioneros:

que esta es una tierra de GOBIERNO DEL HOMBRE BLANCO.

Una vez, temprano en la mañana, los blancos le dijeron al Hombre Rojo que enmendara su camino.

El negro, ahora, por gracia eterna, debe aprender a permanecer en el lugar del negro.

En el Soleado Sur, la Tierra de los Libres, que la SUPREMACÍA BLANCA sea para siempre.

Que esto sea una advertencia para todos los negros, o sufrirán el destino del árbol de Cornejo.

A finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, se recopilaron, comercializaron y enviaron a través del servicio postal de Estados Unidos miles de fotografías y postales de estadounidenses negros asesinados por turbas blancas en linchamientos terroristas racistas.

Las postales y fotografías, que mostraban imágenes espantosas de los cuerpos de hombres, mujeres y niños negros que habían sido atados a árboles, mutilados, torturados, fusilados y quemados vivos por turbas blancas, a menudo se distribuían como souvenirs y se guardaban como recuerdos en álbumes familiares.

Las fotografías de los linchamientos a menudo capturaban los cuerpos de los estadounidenses negros asesinados y los cientos de personas blancas (incluyendo niños) que se reunían para presenciar el espectáculo público de los linchamientos. Según los historiadores, en más de la mitad de estas fotografías y postales, se mostraba a personas blancas sonriendo y celebrando los espectáculos.

LOS BLANCOS MONETIZARON EL ASESINATO DE LOS NEGROS

Se distribuyeron astutamente fotografías y postales de linchamientos (a menudo con fines de lucro) entre las comunidades, en mano y por correo postal. A menudo se vendían por tan solo veinticinco centavos, lo que hoy valdría unos 3.46 dólares.

Descripción de segunda imagen: [Una postal de un linchamiento en Duluth. 15 de Junio, 1920.]

Let’s not allow a smaller media coverage on the black lives matter movement and protests feed your mind that this issue has been dealt with and that it’s no longer ongoing.

Don’t listen to claims of being blind to race or that it’s not an impediment in any nation if it’s not something you will ever have to face, instead lets embrace everyone and culture that we’re blessed to have around the world.

Let’s put an end to lives being carelessly slaughtered by police officers thinking and acting with rose colored white biased glasses. We’re not going to change if we continue to allow ourselves to be segregated further.

Blue Lives Don't Exist .

Stop drawing equivalence between racial identity and a job.

Your career is a choice.

Being Black isn't.
