West Virginia coal camp Melungeon. Future ancestor. Planting a community garden with no gate. Take what you need, leave what you don’t.
Elon repeatedly claimed he was not doing the Nazi salute, but even his own technology hid his photo as containing graphic content 😂🤣. Mr Free Speech’s own proprietary AI on his own app blocked him

Raise your hand if you think this much energy would be spent trying to track someone who shot you.

I took a screenshot of the space x launch.

But for real… Who is this?

Because this ain’t Trump. That don’t even look like hair. Looks like a Chucky wig. Looks like Mr. Doubtfire.

This whole season of reality is like a big gaslighting, crazy-making circus.

Seriously. Is this even Trump?

In the coal camps, mine operators had total control of everything— housing, the currency (they did not pay workers with the US dollar), the entertainment, the mandatory churches, the media, the brutal day schools… everything. This is called corporate paternalism.

Like moonshining.

Sharecropping was the main way convict leasing was used in the Deep South, but up in the Appalachian South and Central Appalachia, it was coal mining.

Especially vulnerable were Melungeons, Creole, Redbones, & other mixed-ethnic groups who had been trying to survive outside of systems that wouldn’t allow them to integrate but hated them for not integrating. They spent their lives trying to find ways to afford living— which were then made illegal.

Just like other traps that begin with racism, some white people were also vulnerable to these traps— especially those who opposed the politics of racism in the South.

This image is a picture of people working an organic farm under the convict leasing system. After slavery was abolished, the South was big mad. So, they started arresting (mostly Black men) for things like vagrancy and loitering.

I like waiting just fine.
