Spirits of Rebellion: Black Cinema from UCLA (2015)

"The film is a true inspiration to any artist of color that wants to create anything of substance. Following the story of this program and seeing the footage of them creating and working in way that is intended to educate the community on prominent issues is an experience that can spark the dimmest revolutionary flame ablaze."

By Sam Marcy

May 5, 1992 — To speak of the people in general terms, without cutting through the propaganda to reveal the relations of exploiter to exploited, of oppressor to oppressed, is to participate in covering up the reality. Most indispensable for an understanding of contemporary society is the relation between oppressor and oppressed nationalities. One cannot apply Marxism to any meaningful extent without first recognizing the existence of national oppression — the oppression of a whole people by capitalist imperialism. This is one of the most characteristic features of the present world reality.

In 1991, the police in Los Angeles were caught on video brutally beating a Black man, Rodney King, after a traffic stop. 30 years ago, on April 29, 1992, people in LA rose up in a beautiful, righteous rebellion when these pigs were acquitted. Earlier this month, police in Grand Rapids, Michigan killed an unarmed Black man, Patrick Lyoya, after a traffic stop. Protest after protest, even heroic rebellion—yet the system’s oppression goes on and on... and is being geared up for something even worse. Reforms cannot stop it. Protest and rebellion are absolutely needed, but on their own they don’t go far enough.

30 years after the heroic 1992 LA Rebellion, the revcoms say: WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT THEIR FUTURE, WE ARE GETTING ORGANIZED FOR A REAL REVOLUTION

Get with the revcoms on May 1, 2022, 2 pm at corner of Wilshire & Alvarado near Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro Red Line station

I worked all day making this cloak. Now my mom won’t let me wear it because cloaks are “creepy”.

She told me to “fit in”.

Please Reblog to make my mom let me wear cloaks in public and to normalise cloaks.

Hehehehehe.

I just did something deliciously rebellious.

REBELLIOUS THING UNDER THE CUT HEHE

So, the woman who gave birth to me was again being a piece of shit and making me swallow those horrendously huge antibiotic pills just to get rid of my acne (she's obsessed with me looking perfect, for those of you who do not know).

So, I swallowed them while looking directly at her, then smirked, holding up the cup.

I revealed that the "water" that I used to swallow the pills was in fact, sweet pickle juice.

Of course, she was mean to me again after that, but then after she left I proceeded to take nine pickles, eat the other half that my sister had bitten off of, and take a swig of pickle juice directly from the jar.

So, yes, I am satisfied.

#rebellion via pickle juice #viva la revolución #being gross just to spite the neat people #i regret nothing

Annabeth already getting her first taste of betrayal because yeah obviously Clarrise isn't the actual lightning thief but she doesn't know that. And yeah maybe she's a bully but Annabeth's still grown up with her at CHB so there would be a sense of friendship or at least mutual understanding.

Also a strong independent big sister of colour??? who just stabbed her in the back???

#and obviously it isn't quite as deep cause they know nothing about Kronos's army and the rebellion shit yet #but the lightning thief is still rebelling against the gods and its along the same kind of lines #like once everyone found out and it was a thing #like #Clarisse isn't coming back to camp #[I'd assume] #and #just.... #Annabeth's just dealing with that through the whole episode too. my poor girl. cause Clarrise is literally the reasons she's on the quest i #the first place #or at least that's what she thinks #pjo fandom #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #annabeth chase #annabethchase #annabeth pjo #clarrise la rue #clarrise pjo

Today also marks the 184th anniversary of the Amistad Rebellion ✊🏾

La Amistad was a Spanish slave ship mounted by colonizing Spaniards en route to Cuba.

Weeks before the mutany took place, the two Spanish plantation owners hired slavers to kidnap 53 Afrikans from Sierre Leone - what was a British colonizing territory - & force them aboard the schooner to be shipped to their plantations in Havana, Cuba.

These 53 Sierre Leoneans along with 500 other Afrikans arrived in Havana, Cuba after a 2 month long voyage at sea. There the Spanish plantation owners split them off; 49 adults were sold to one plantation while 3 children were sold to another. They were then forced aboard La Amistad to be shipped Puerto Prince, Cuba where many would be resold onto sugar plantations. Four days into the voyage one captive, Joseph Cinqué, freed himself & others. They gathered whatever weapons they could find then stormed the upper deck of the ship. They killed the captain and cook, then seized the ship; sparing only their would-be slave masters - who they forced to steer the ship back to Sierre Leone. The Spanish slavers did not. They steered the ship toward the U.S., landing in Long Island, NY 2mo later. Here, La Amistad was taken into custody, the Spaniards were freed, & the surviving Afrikans were arrested.

This event, which involved charges of illegal seizure, international trade laws, & piracy disputes, ontop of Northern Abolitionists vs. Southern plantation owners, resulted in the case being tried in the Supreme Court. On March 9th 1841, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the enslaved captives 7-1; declaring that the captives were illegally enslaved thus lawfully free. Soon after, Northern Abolitionists raised funds to pay for the survivors to return home to Sierre Leone. They set sail aboard The Gentleman on November 25th 1841, arriving safely, though in what had become a British colony, in January 1842.

Let us remember that not all who fought aboard La Amistad survived this and every battle that followed before the surviving men, boys, & girls set sail for home nearly 2 years later.

We pour libations of water, blow tobacco smoke, & offer prayers toward their elevation & all those, like them, perished at sea/aboard slave ships across the Atlantic.

‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️
