When it comes to what's best for Black People, it's time for White People to mind their business

191. This is 2016, not 1916,

or 1956. The population I told you about lives in an area that is 99% white and has been since the first settlers stole the land from the Indians. Most of them would think Jim Crow is someone's name. They didn't own slaves, didn't fight for the Confederacy. Their land was stolen by coal companies at the turn of the century and they worked the coal mines that were once on their land to keep from starving. When it became unbearable, they struck. When the coal companies brought in blacks and Eastern Europeans to break the strike, they united with them and formed one of the first integrated labor unions in America. When the companies sent in gun thugs and the national guard to suppress them, they fought the biggest battle on American soil since the Civil War. Most of them never saw a privileged day in their lives and neither have a lot of their descendants right up to today.
