"El racismo es una excusa utilizada por el capitalismo para dividir a los trabajadores, el racismo es un subproducto del capitalismo. Quieren a la gente atrapada en el racismo para que no vean que hay 2 clases, para que peleemos entre nosotros y no contra ellos". Fred Hampton, líder de los Panteras Negras, sobre como el capitalismo usa el racismo para dividir a la clase trabajadora.

Elaine Massacre - Sept. 1919 White Arkansans, fearful of Black people organizing, aided by federal troops massacre 200 Black sharecroppers after the Black sharecroppers get a white attorney and demand fair prices. After the massacre, officials worked on a cover-up, claiming that Black people were planning an insurrection. The victims stood trial. The only men prosecuted were 122 African Americans, with 73 charged with murder. Once again, sharecroppers were murdered and land stolen. Generational wealth was stolen from the Black community, but by all means, keep talking about the bootstraps. Maybe MAGA farmers should pull themselves up by them. #DemsUnited #BlackHistoryWithLana

“Stay woke. Keep your eyes open.” - Lead Belly The Scottsboro Boys, nine Black teens falsely accused of raping two white women in 1931, were sentenced to death. NAACP forced repeated retrials. They were finally freed but never recovered. The first documented use of the phrase “stay woke” happened in the 1930s when Lead Belly ended his song about the Scottsboro Boys by advising Black folk traveling through Alabama to “stay woke.” The term “woke" was created by Black people referring to being alert to systemic racial injustices. #BlackHistoryWithLana #DemsUnited #BlackMusicMonth

Former NBA All-Star Derrick Coleman is taking a stand for voting rights, withdrawing from an Alabama Hall of Fame ceremony in protest of efforts that weaken fair representation for Black voters. Our ancestors fought, bled, marched, and died for the right to vote. We must continue standing with them. I applaud Derrick for using this moment to highlight that this fight is about something bigger than basketball. al.com/news/2026/06/former-n…

“I don't want you telling me to go back to Africa, unless you going back where you come from. I got a note one day telling me to go back to Africa and ever since that time-it's been three times a week I say it when I am in a white audience-I say, 'We'll make a deal. After you send all the Koreans back to Korea, the Chinese back to China, the Jewish people back to Jerusalem, and you give the Indians their land back and you get on the Mayflower from which you come'... We all here on borrowed land. We have to figure out how we're going to make things right for all the people of this country.” - Fannie Lou Hamer
