Food for thought, Brother:

Many people in America viewed the election of Barack Obama as a prelude to a "takeover"—for lack of a better term.

This is what led to the Tea Party and eventually MAGA. This is why we have Trump today—but intelligent people know this:

He doesn't have us!
#KeepItWoke

There are people of that mindset—black nationalists and whatnot; but the reality is that there is nothing to gain in a "takeover". It would be counterproductive to Dr. King's dream. 🙏🏽😊💙

Fantastic lesson!

You're welcome! 🙏🏽💙😊

It has never been about taking over the country, my Brother. It has always been about being recognized as equals.

MLK once said: "A riot is the language of the unheard"

Good morning, Brother Eddie! 👊🏼😎 Thank you for sharing Forten’s story. It’s amazing he survived the prison ship. His dedication to emancipation is just as remarkable. Thanks for helping enlighten us, and #KeepItWoke, my friend.

Thank you Eddie for this fantastic story on American History. #KeepItWoke

Good morning, Seth. You're spot on about that prison ship being a war crime all its own. The conditions were remiscent of slave ships. I once wrote a thread on Twitter several years back as to the conditions on slave ships. I have to find it and retool it for Bluesky with visuals.👊🏾😊

You're welcome, Melissa—he truly was amazing. It's a shame most of us did not know of him. He was not in any history books I read during my school years.

ADDENDUM:

This is of course "⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️", my friends. In my haste to get the thread together—I accidently left out my familiar thread header.

Anyway—here is a link to a virtual tour of the Forten Family museum exhibit—enjoy!

the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society in 1833, continuing a generation-spanning legacy of leadership. James Forten passed away on March 4 1842. He proved that business success and moral purpose go hand in hand.

Still doing it to this day.

I did an entire thread on the "Black guy did it" game, Kathleen. It's always the same old story—different time periods, different players. Here you go ICYMI.
