Selma 1965. Bloody Sunday (Warning: Graphic Violence)



C.T. Vivian, who makes a passionate case, was mentioned this last Friday by Obama. Listen to what Vivian said. There is a lot of history in this video.

(not that I am an expert, I am not, at all)

The white teapartier of 2016 hates Obama and Black folk the way their grandfathers hated Malcolm X and for the same reason, uppity.

Malcolm X actually told African American people to fight back to defend themselves, how DARE he.

President Obama has said African Americans deserve the right to vote and gutting the voting rights act is a disgrace, how DARE he.



Voting is everything now, everything.

If these bastards stop ONE Black person from voting, ONE young student, then I say that is an act of violence against all Americans.
