Political cartoon about the East St. Louis massacres of 1917. The caption reads, "Mr. President, why not make America safe for democracy?"

Labor conflict was also behind the 1917 massacre of over 200 black workers in East St. Louis, at the hands of white workers who were angry at them for competing for jobs.

This is an incredible post. Every American and European should be shown this so that we can never forget that people are capable of something like this. So many times the focus is on the holocast, but precious little attention is paid to the holocast that occurred to Africans, African-Americans, Afro-Carribeans, and Afro-Europeans.

We won't ever be able to get our past back, but we can acknowledge this evil so that it won't happen again in the future.

Bro, how do we get this pushed down through high school even down to elementary school????

Can the HBCUs push local high schools to integrate the real history back into the curriculum via pressure on the school boards????

Or do we have to print T-Shirts with these images and sell on Ebay???

Do we have to make a video on youtube with these still images???? ;)

This type of education starts at home! If you don't have the "base" this type of education, how we start the push down to high schools? And if more of us are teachers then the push is there.. :smh:
 
Still think black people are their own worst enemy?????

Think that Black people could ever be this barbaric?????

Who is the most violent, blacks? Think the hood will ever be at this point ever?

Who has your best self-interest??????

Word life!

Yo, when I was in high school, Shindler's List had came out in theaters, and these white folks made the entire school go watch that shit. They rented expensive top of the line buses to take the entire high school to the theater to watch Shinders List. I didnt even understand why that was at the time. All I knew was that, that was the only time the school had ever done that. They only did that thing for that film.

Great post... This is why I sugguest that every black attend a HBCU like, FAMU, BCC, Howard, etc... Then you will learn your true history. Not some book shit. :hmm: :hmm:

You know how many folks that went to HBCU's and are absolutely clueless in regards to Black history? Matter of fact, some of the HBCU's are some of the most backward universities, and I really hate to say this. Hell, at places like Howard University, in their business school, they have banned wearin cornrows, braids, or dredlocks. Regardless of gender.

You think they have that kind of rule in the predominantly white universities? Anyhow, you cant even rely on any college or institution to teach you Black or African history. You have to rely on yourself and do the research on your own to really learn.

i doubt africans during the time of slavery read the bible. more than likely those same opressors from europe are the ones who quoted scriptures while they enslaved thousands of africans in the name of god. keep religion out of this because that is probably one of the key reasons why slavery ever existed.

You stand correct. The Black Africans during the time of slavery did not read the Bible. They followed their own ancient traditional African spirituality. The vast majority of indigenous Black Africans practiced their own thing, which was basically the same spirituality/religion throughout all of Africa.

From May through September, 1919, over 25 race riots rocked cities from Texas to Illinois, Nebraska to Georgia. In Omaha, the trouble began on September 25, when a white woman, Agnes Loebeck, reported that she was assaulted by a black man.

</td> </tr> </tbody></table> The next morning, the Bee reached new heights reporting the event. The headline was "Black Beast First Stick-up Couple."
"The most daring attack on a white woman ever perpetrated in Omaha occurred one block south of Bancroft street near Scenic avenue in Gibson last night."​
Coverage in the World-Herald was slightly less inflammatory --
"Pretty little Agnes Loebeck ... was assaulted ... by an unidentified negro at twelve O'clock last night, while she was returning to her home in company with Millard [sic] Hoffman, a cripple."​

</td> </tr> </tbody></table> That evening, the police took a suspect to the Loebeck home. Agnes and her boyfriend Milton Hoffman (they were later married) identified a black packinghouse worker named Will Brown as the assailant. Brown was 41 years old and suffered from acute rheumatism.

Before the police could leave the Loebeck house, a mob gathered outside and threatened to seize Brown. After an hour's confrontation, police reinforcements arrived and Brown was transferred to the Douglas County Courthouse. Several police officers were ordered to report at once to police headquarters in case of further trouble, and 46 policemen and a detective were kept on duty well into the night.

</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

After the confrontation outside the Loebeck home, rumors began to fly that a mob would try to seize Brown again. On Sunday, September 28, a group of youths gathered in south Omaha and began a march to the Douglas County courthouse. Eventually, thousands of angry people gathered at the courthouse and by evening, the Omaha police and city officials inside the courthouse were virtual prisoners. The size of the crowd was estimated at between 5,000 and 15,000 people. By 8:00 p.m. the mob had begun firing on the courthouse with guns they looted from nearby stores. in that exchange of gunfire, one 16-year-old leader of the mob, and a 34-year-old businessman a block away were killed. By 8:30 the mob had set fire to the building and prevented fire fighters from extinguishing the flames. Inside, Will Brown moaned to Sheriff Mike Clark, "I am innocent, I never did it, my God I am innocent."

Mayor Smith had been at the scene for several hours. He came out of the courthouse and tried to reason with the mob. He asked them to forget the prisoner and allow the firemen to put out the flames. At that point, the mayor was knocked down by a blow to his head, and the next thing he knew, he was on Harney Street. One end of a rope was being flung over a lamp post. The other end tightened around his neck. That was the last thing he remembered until he woke up in a hospital where he remained for several days in serious condition with severe head injuries.

Mayor Smith had been rescued, but there are several versions of how the rescue happened. Some reports say police detectives were responsible for saving Smith's life. Others give the credit to a young man named Russell Norgaard. Whatever the true story, the mob lost interest in Smith and concentrated on getting Brown out of the courthouse.

Brown ended up in the hands of the crazed mob. He was beaten into unconsciousness. His clothes were torn off by the time he reached the building's doors. Then he was dragged to a nearby lamp pole on the south side of the courthouse at 18th and Harney around 11:00 p.m. The mob roared when they saw Brown and a rope was placed around his neck. Brown was hoisted in the air, his body spinning. He was riddled with bullets. His body was then brought down and tied behind a car and towed to the intersection of 17th and Dodge. There the body was burned with fuel taken from nearby red danger lamps and fire truck lanterns. Later, pieces of the rope used to lynch Brown were sold for 10-cents each. Finally, Brown's charred body was dragged through the city's downtown streets.

Need to vent a bit, please excuse me.....


Ride? or Die?


How can I
Make love to you
Hair so beautiful on the pillow
How can I
Keep your soul warm
Skin smooth as silk
How can I
Connect with you
My love runs so deep
How can I
Connect with you
When you are still asleep.......

Should I leave
Run to the other side
Should I leave
Forget all about black pride
Should I
Forget the journey
Should I
Just enjoy the ride
You mean too much to me
I'll just suffer at your side.........

Yes, but I can tell you this, at FAMU you MUST take African History! Not African-American History. As for the rule at Howard (and I’m sure it’s at that at every HBCU) it need to be in place. Because some of “ya’ll” will come in looking at some shit off the street. And from working in the white-man world, your ass will not make it pass the mail room with cornrows. Now don’t get me wrong about them but there’s a time and place for them. PWC.. one word… FUCK DEM!

It's really relative. I know a gang of folks who work in different corporate places who have dredlocks for example. And considerin that a black university is basically banning black hairstyles because of places in corporate america that discriminate against it, i mean, its really stupid.

It does not need to be in place. It's college! By that logic, they should require that their students wear business casual clothing on campus and going to class (similar to what Prep schools do). Where students have to dress in business attire, with the tie and everything! But does that happen? Nope.

Where's the logic? Seriously...

Who the hell rated this less than 5 stars???

A number of peeps rated this as 5 so I know the masqueraders on this board rated this 1 star.

If you have a problem, leave the board with your history of getting into other people's shit.........:angry::angry::angry:
 
Look everyone. All races were slaves at one point in history. Blacks are just one of the most recent victims of this. Whites in America owned slaves but the Spanish were the main ones capturing and selling the slaves. Black kings in Africa actually sold excess population or population that was deemed unecessary to the slave ships. Again it all boils down to money. Sad but true.

Life is cruel and unfair. That's the way it is. If you can't change the past then you must move forward. Bitching about how your people were opressed will get you nowhere in life. Instead why not use that as motivation to live well. Why not honor your heritage by succeeding and taking care of your family? There are more constructive ways to channel the anger that slavery has caused.

Whose version is that, the oppressor????
I'm sure if the internet did not exist then your history would have written that Iraq's welcomed whitey with open arms and cheering......


Take a look at this shit:

ColonialAfrica.png

"Scramble for Africa" 1913 Map

Do a search on "scramble for Africa"

The white man is a BABARIC ANIMAL. No respecter of persons. The most UNCIVILISED race of people to walk the face of the earth.
Most IMCOMPATIBLE with nature.



Bitching about how your people were opressed will get you nowhere in life.

Tell that to your leader who waged a war on a country that never attacked us.

Tell that to your people who are on a rampage worldwide because of 3000 people and two buildings.

After 400 years of slavery, 400 year headstart, you still have whites living in trailers, in poverty, illiterate etc....

What do you'll need ???? Another 100years???

We should be banning piece of shits like you...........
 
Bump

For those that think that slavery was a good thing because we are better off now than before we were taken.
 
Slavery is proof that (collectively speaking) the white man is the devil. Nuff said. We need to uplift ourselves and get out of this rutt. SHIT.

For those who think it is cool to use references to slavery to compare sporting issues etc....

There is nothing that exists today that even comes close to making that comparison.

The next time someone uses slavery so loosely, check that person cause you now know better..............

I didnt say anything about any religion thats why we still in slavery

1. We spend too much time hating white folks
2. We think just because a black person believes in God/ Jesus he is a blind sell out

If you look at biblical history with out blinders you'll see why White people act the way they do, you;ll learn why every race acts the way they do

but the trickster got the black man hating God again
i realy don't understand your point. what do you want us to do? believe in the god of the bible and everything is gonna be better. who is the trickster that your talking about? i'll take a guess, it's got to be satan. come on man be real all of those horrific sufferings that our ancestors went through where was god then, no where to be found. if the god of the bible witness all of this and did nothing thats fucked up on his part. i mean he is the most powerful being in the universe, not even satan could come close yet he permitted it to happen and yet you blame everyone else except for the one who permitted it to happen.
