Cumming, Forsyth County, GA
Black Americans have had 15 million acres of land stolen through terror, lynchings and genocide down to 1 million. 
This is just one of many that deal with the ethnic cleansing of Black Americans by white mobs. You may have heard of Oprah doing an episode in 1987 about that county. (Episode: Oprah Visits a County Where No Black Person Had Lived for 75 Years.) Sundown towns, of course. No longer completely completely white, it is still largely white. Mrs. Elon Osby and every last descendant needs to gather their docs and get every single acre back. Everybody living all comfortably there and shit gotta go. It is what it is. We’ve been needed an Anti-Black Hate Crime bill. But the Democrats, who Black Americans have loyally voted for with no tangibles in return, obviously feel it’s of no concern. The likes of Buffalo, anyone?
Did I mention this town is close by Oscarville, the Black American town under that man-made lake, Lake Lanier? 1912.
Add this onto the reparations claim and charge genocide.
SN: An almost silent shakedown almost went down in the small Black town of Mason, Tennessee not too long by the state’s comptroller. Thank goodness people caught wind outside of that town and seize of control (before a shift) was unsuccessful.

ID: A drawing of a white boy with short blond hair in a pink shirt and blue trousers says “My school has a playground, a soccer field and a baseball field!”
An indigenous Canadian child wearing a white shirt with drab grey dungarees, with short black hair, sadly replies “Mine has a graveyard”.
It is signed R. Cate, “Without Reservations”: 6/1/21.
Neither the Canadian government nor the Roman Catholic Church can escape responsibility for the act of genocide that was these “schools” where so many indigenous children died and so many more were left with lifelong trauma and health problems.
They both owe indigenous communities huge monetary and territorial reparations, as does the British state as plenty of these atrocities took place on our watch too. The ongoing genocidal actions still being inflicted on indigenous people by Canada and Trudeau’s government, in violating and destroying the environment of sovereign nations for corporate oil profits, is an utter disgrace all of us must continue to call them out on.
Canada and Trudeau benefit by the highly publicised awfulness of the US and British governments. We *cannot* allow their genocidal and eugenicist actions, in this and the ongoing murder of disabled people via MAiD, to go under the radar.
White people, settlers and abled people have a particular responsibility to speak up about these things, because part of the reason Trudeau is able to keep this shiny reputation is because things happening to indigenous and/or disabled people matter to fewer people even in “progressive” communities. A *lot* of abled white trans folk praised him for tweeting “trans women are women”. If you did that without knowing these facts, this is your notification to *hold him to account*.

Help a Queer Black Mother Move to a New Place!
URGENT REQUEST: $2980
RAISED: $0
A queer single mother is moving from one state to another to avoid a $600 rent hike. A SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR RENT HIKE! She booked movers but they’ve cancelled on her today. She and her daughter have to move THIS WEEK. The lowest estimate she got was for $3000 because it’s short notice. Right now we really have to lean on each other for survival as capitalism forces people out of their homes across the country.
As an abortion organizer she shows up everyday to fight for the reproductive rights that are being threatened right now. Let’s show up for her and take this one thing off her plate. Please give and share share share! Tag folks and post to groups that can help. We appreciate you and believe in the power of collective care.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Reparations
“We’re coming to get our check.”
Talk that talk, King. The debt been owed to the descendants of Black Americans for American chattel slavery, Jim Crow, domestic bombings, and all of its present genocidal remnants. We’ve been used as a launchpad for immigrants & their descendants to come here with governmental programs, safety, and bootstrap set asides ready while we’re pushed down further at the bottom in our own home. Countless foreign aid for everybody else’s house like it’s the world’s government while we’re told to wait or given the lip in our homeland from people who willingly moved here. Just like them “old stock” and their descendants who were exclusively rolled out the Homestead Act, New Deal, GI (WWII) Bill, tax breaks, and other thieving discriminatory programs/laws.
Real talk. We were supposed to be dead and extinct a long time ago. They bombed us, but we’re still here. Torched/flooded/eminent domained our properties, and turned our communities into lakes, parks, pathways for bridges and gentrification hubs. Still here. Stole our wealth. Still here. Medically experimented on us. Still here. Pushed heroin & crack into our neighborhoods as confessed by then-presidents. Still here. They subject us to an ongoing slow genocide. Bitch, we still here.
The only reason why this land hasn’t imploded with all the trauma, barbarism and evil it’s witnessed is because it knows its children are still here. Our feet still kisses the ground.
This is a new generation. The centuries-deep interest is up and counting. They gon cut these lineage-based federal and state checks with protective policies and our stolen land to boot...soon. Our grandparents and great-grandparents, first, will be seeing pure, non-loopholed, legit reparations paid to them in their lifetime. Bootstraps, my ass. They gon give us back our multiple boots. Gimme all my straps.

Black Family In Need of Rent Help in Louisville
Tumblr media
A Black family in Louisville, Kentucky, is in need of emergency housing for a month. Reparations Roundtable, a group affiliated with BLM Louisville, is covering this need, but we need community help to get it done. This is an opportunity for mutual aid and reparations!
We white people at Reparations Roundtable have had another emergency Airbnb need come to us, so we are now aiming to meet that goal of $2,000. A family of 3 in Louisville, KY needs our help, the head of the household is a Black woman who works in the school system. We can’t forget how we called those people heroes and then left them in the dust.
I get that this is not a low goal, but it’s also very doable when we all pitch in! Many hands make light work!!
