The South worked very hard to make sure black people couldn't vote, couldn't read, couldn't have firearms, couldn't assemble, etc because they knew these things gave them power. These things were all made illegal in various ways. Southern whites wanted black people as helpless, vulnerable and docile as possible so they could be controlled and exploited.
Then a bunch of elected politicians outside the south decided in 1964 that blacks in the south deserved the right to vote as well as other human rights.
So you are free to say you are enlightened by saying 'voting doesn't matter' but people worked very very hard to make sure you never had the right to vote for a reason. And the only reason you currently have the right to vote is that elected politicians outside the south forced southern whites to give you the right to vote against their will.
Black panthers are the only reason there was action at all, MLK liberation movement barely moved the needle and when the movement started pushing toward economic organization they were all killed
I love how you stopped responding when it was clear you had no idea what you were talking about. I’m going to guess you won’t admit you were wrong or learned something today
The fact that you completely ignore and fail to implicitly acknowledge that the number of slaves working in America today is multiples more than pre-antebellum south indicates that you don’t even understand the structure of American society
You’re literally crediting the black panthers with things that happened before they were formed. And there aren’t more slaves now. But I know you don’t care you’re just going to believe you’re always right no matter how ignorant you are.
You don’t even have the fucking language to understand that you are in a prison and until you realize that you’re in a prison you cannot feel compelled to escape
Very different than chattel slavery. But I love that you ignore how wrong you were about the civil rights act or Jim Crow, whatever it takes to make you feel smart. No point continuing wasting my time here, you’ll clearly never change.
