Today in Labor History September 10, 1963: 20 black children were integrated into Birmingham schools in spite of opposition by the city. Martin Luther King, James Bevel & Fred Shuttlesworth led the campaign of nonviolent direct action to integrate Birmingham, Alabama, one of the most segregated cities in the nation. Over a thousand were arrested during the campaign. Bull Connors ordered the use of high-pressure hoses and attack dogs on juvenile protesters. Racists bombed the Gaston Motel, in a failed attempt to assassinate King.

racism raises its ugly head in the AFL again.

Ugle-Hagen mimics the stance taken by Wimmer 30 years ago saying he's black & he's proud to be so.

Predators have been calling me mentally unstable and paying for me to be #abused all my #life. In The West, no one cares about Black life, blame #racsim and #apathy rather than the #victim.

None of this is #new. What's funny is that their flying monkeys who hold themselves in such a #superior light justify it. It's only abuse if the perpetrator says it is? So eager to dismiss #humanrights.

I have a right to #life so expect self defense.

When I saw the #fakenews story of Ms Lee in the #mainstreammedia, I thought 'Iraqi Weapons of Mass destruction'! The story is a perfect example of 'British' #racsim, but the https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/why-we-shouldnt-fall-chinese-influence-scare-westminster says it better than me.
