14 November, 1960 - six year old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her path was met with hostility and hatred, yet she continued forward with courage and determination. Ruby’s story reminds us that the pursuit of justice has never been limited by age. Her bravery helped open doors for generations of children who deserved the opportunity to learn without the barriers of segregation. - The King Center #CivilRights

Black people: The fediverse has a racism problem. Women: so much mansplaining White cis men: It's so great here! Everyone is so nice! Black people: There would be more Black Peoole here if the fediverse worked towards curbing the racism. White cis men: I don't understand why the fediverse isn't bigger. We're perfect. Women: The reply guys are exhausting. White cis men: It's just so cozy here, you know? ...rinse and repeat #fediverse #racism #sexism

The Zimbabwean author Simbarashe Kundizeza has been cleared of using AI to write a prize-winning short story, after the prestigious Caine prize for African writers concluded that his entry was “human-written” after a month-long investigation. I wonder why all these Black writers and academics keep getting accused? #AI #Racism

Prosecutor races have a huge impact on needed criminal justice reform, on eliminating systemic racism. #NorthCarolina just struck a real blow here. https://boltsmag.org/north-carolina-forsyth-county-prosecutor-oneill-loses/#racism #BlackLivesMatter #CriminalJustice

Rob Sneed at Memphis' FOX13 is a Black reporter who asked Marsha Blackburn what she was going to do for Black communities. When he didn't accept a non-answer and pressed her, he was let go the next day. I hope he can land at an outlet that actually values his courage. Somebody posted his FB message here: https://www.reddit.com/r/memphis/comments/1xpjj0q/fox_13_reporteranchor_rob_sneed_has_been_released/#Tennessee #media #racism

RE: https://journa.host/@theintercept/117547320489931264 as i have said numerous times: when faced against fascists, you are either for or against fascism. there is no middle ground. right now the Democratic Party has a fascist middle ground problem. and these wannabe fascists-lite get away with it, thanks to racism. remember what Toni Morrison said about the twin hydra of #fascism and #racism? 30 years ago fascist democrats hid behind Mass Incarceration & The War On Drugs. today it’s #zionism and genocidal, ethnonationalist racism.

What did we just see in Brazil? When Nazi / Confederate billionaires try to interfere and suppress votes, it pisses people off! "They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves." -Psalm 57 https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/10/shomari-figures-alabama-supreme-court-callais-backlash-black-turnout-vra/ #midterms #racism
The Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act is mobilizing Black voters. Just look at Alabama.

I posted this issue in attempt to reduce #racism on #Mastodon:

"Mastodon is being used by racists and other trolls to pile onto people of colour, women, minorities, and so on. They do this as follows:

  1. Respond with a racist, insulting comment to the OP.
  2. Tag the post Followers.
  3. Racist followers of the first commenter then pile on. Only the OP and the racists can see it."

Eliminating racism / making Mastodon minority-friendly

Hello, Mastodon is being used by racists and other trolls to pile onto people of colour, women, minorities, and so on. They do this as follows: Respond with a racist, insulting comment to the OP. Tag the post Followers. Racist followers of the first commenter then pile on. Only the OP and the racists can see it. This is driving Black people and others from Mastodon, and white people like myself are powerless to help because we never see the negative comments. Suggestions: Eliminate the Fol

For the second day in a row the police do nothing about 1) wearing of uniforms and 2) wilful obstruction of the highway. Criminal damage can be added to the fascists' charge sheet this time. #racism #fascism #UK_politics #Portsmouth
