Sigh…Damn that’s a hard life.
Regardless of how people feel about Chris Rock, he said something that has stuck with me for years.
>There have been smart, educated, beautiful, polite black children for hundreds of years. The advantage that my children have is that my children are encountering the nicest white people that America has ever produced. Let’s hope America keeps producing nicer white people.
I would like to hope, as he did, that America is producing nicer white people. I fear that we are living through the last breaths of a white majority and in these waning hours they are unleashing political power in ways people in my generation (millennials) have never lived through. Perhaps that’s why it’s so jarring for us who are younger.
No new revelations here but it is really powerful to see it put so succinctly.
Yeah and the older generation are looking at us like you raggedy bitches…
I told my mom: “if I have kids it’ll be weird having a daughter that will have less rights than her mother had when she was born or her grandmother grew up with.”
We live in frustrating times, if you’re an empathetic person.
Dad born in ’60, mom in ’64. Both still young enough to see the undoing of it all.
My great uncle (my grandfather’s brother, still living) had a very close, personal relationship with his grandmother, a formerly enslaved woman on Grand Coteau Plantation in Louisiana (still exists today). She was given her freedom at the end of the Civil War. The stories he’s told me about her come off as if he just saw her yesterday. I feel like with the amount of details I’ve learned about her, I kind of know her as a person now. What she liked and disliked. How she spoke. Her favorite dishes to cook. The lessons she imparted on her grandchildren.
There are still living people who personally knew those who were enslaved.
Every time I’ve said trump and maga are coming for our rights people say it could never happen. It’s in our constitution. America is but a blip in the timeline of earth. We are an infant in the scheme of things. I’m 38 my grandmother got the right to vote at 21. The first black woman to be integrated into southern schools is younger than my mom.
People fail to realize that our basic rights in this country have been around for essentially a few minutes. In the grand timeline American civil rights is a blink and you’ll miss it event.
I have been screaming this since roe vs wade. But normalcy bias and insane propaganda for the last 20-30 years has corrupted the minds of the people.
The “only republican” voters don’t even realize that MAGA isn’t even a traditional republican, and have been so brainwashed by hate they still support what’s happening. Or worse they truly believe in and support what’s happening. The middle of the road people are acting like this is what happens every election and it’ll play out just fine, or they are ignoring it completely unwilling to even discuss what’s happening. Then the sane people on the left are screaming injustice and telling everyone to look at the writing on the wall.
But as we tell people to wake up and look at what’s happening, we get shunned. I’m told daily that it’s bad for my mental health. They think I’m going down a dark path. Once respectable people are cheering anti DEI. They’re praising Peter hegseth and his book.
I cry every day at the death of democracy, and nobody else seems to care.
This would be the boomer generation. Who are somehow responsible for losing all the rights after working hard to obtain them according to the youths of tiktok and reddit.
this feels like black twitter for white people, and a lack of ☑️ on here doesn’t help, imho ijs
Can’t lie….the history books have only shown “Civil Rights” from a black POV, so if you feel black folks are getting some advantage over you then you’re gleeful that you’re now “making things fair”.
Never mind that you, hispanic man, or you, indian woman, or you, white woman, have likely benefitted more from civil rights educationally, socially, and politically than such black person….especially in the work place.
If rights can be taken, then granted, and then taken away, are they really rights?
Wait what rights are gone?
The movement never ended.
I feel like no one in my orbit has any sense of how profoundly sad this all this. And that they lack this ability to acknowledge the complete moral collapse happening in our country…that scares the shit out of me.
They are all very primed to allow or take part in terrible things.
Also, do realize those same people may still be alive; the 1950s and 60s weren’t that long ago. How do I know? MY FUCKING GRANDPARENTS LIVED THROUGH IT.
What is civel rights?
Oh no! That’s awful. Which rights?
Which civil rights are being taken away?
She’s right but being ‘speechless’ at discovering some basic history of civil rights in the US is wild
I’ve been saying this for awhile, we are always one election away from losing all our rights. The 2024 American election proved how true this is. One man is enabling the erasure of rights for everyone who isn’t a cishet yt Christian able-bodied male. It’s terrifying to watch unfold.
don’t know what you got ’till it’s gone i guess
We ain’t even that old
At the rate things are going we might have people who were born before the internet, had the internet and then lost it. Either through nuclear war, climate change fucking up our electrical systems or totalitarian governments highly censoring content.
No they didn’t
What rights specifically are black people losing? Id love to know
We are regressing rapidly spreading this to bring awareness to the new [Jim Crow 2.0](https://youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE?si=6chMZX19wS1k_sCX)
How are people losing civil rights ?
They are trying to erode civil rights in America to a pre-Reconstruction era. 160-year knockback. The SAVE Act would strip most women of the right to vote. This on top of tearing down all anti-discrimination laws like segregation and denying birthright citizenship.
As for their broader plans, read about the Dark Enlightenment. They want to revert western civilization to pre-Renaissance. Feudalism, but with corporations instead of lords and ladies.
and we’re scared of AI taking over the world and becoming cruel to humanity… like what are you afraid of AI about? – like, it becoming something like trump or elon? the wait is over. a nazi piece of shit or HAL9000 , doesn’t matter. it’s here
Not even the first time this has happened. See reconstruction…
Who is losing their rights? Please say the criminal illegal aliens. Because they are the only ones targeted.
So maybe its time to get over it! Novel idea, but the time has come.
Yes! But what are you going to do about it?
Be nice if Gabriella posted what rights her friend has lost?
What civil rights have been lost?
