A hundred people braved cold winds to honor the fightback legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Harlem on Jan. 18. People gathered at the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building plaza.
A car caravan had earlier started from the Audubon Ballroom, where Malcolm X was allowed to be assassinated by the CIA and New York Police Department on Feb. 21, 1965. The event was organized by the People’s United Front, a new activist coalition initiated by the People-Pueblo Party.
ok but are y’all actually taking care of the black people in your communities? idk this seems fucking weird to applaud. like cool great got ur cute lil clapback revenge. what about the black people your racist family/community members are harming….?
SAY IT LOUDER KING !!!!
the black woman who broke that woman’s nose was fired for defending herself. here is the link to her gofundme
I’m sorry, we are calling a teenage lesbian who turned her parents in to federal authorities, at a significant personal risk to herself, someone just focused on “clapback revenge”? You all know that there is a connection between extremist group membership and family violence, right?
She reported her racist family members to the FBI, which got her racist mother removed from her healthcare industry job, among plenty of other things and will likely lead to the whole lot of them getting arrested so like. That’s already doing plenty of tangible good to the black people in their community (by removing them and removing them from a position that they could hurt people from. So like. Promote Ashanti Smith’s GoFundMe, encourage the people in your individual communities to help and aid the Black community, the Jewish community, and literally everyone who will be harmed by this strong surge of white supremacist and neo-nazi violence, but let’s not act like this girl turning in her racist ass family to the FBI isn’t incredibly brave and an active step that half the cowards on tumblr wouldn’t dare to take. This isn’t “clapback revenge”, this is actively helping.
On this day, 20 January 1934, Nazi Germany introduced a decree “regulating national labour” which according to the US government “introduced the fuhrer-principle into industrial relations”.
The owner was deemed the fuhrer of an enterprise, who was responsible for making all “decisions for the employees and labourers in all matters concerning the enterprise"… “The employees and labourers owe him faithfulness”.
Robert Ley, head of the German Labour Front, which was set up by the state after all trade unions were banned, told a meeting of Siemens workers in Berlin, some of whom were enslaved labourers: “We are all soldiers of labour, amongst whom some command and the others obey. Obedience and responsibility have to count amongst us again… We can’t all be on the captain’s bridge, because then there would be nobody to raise the sails and pull the ropes. No, we can’t all do that, we’ve got to grasp the fact.”
Along with other measures against radical workers, Nazi policies led Ley to declare in 1935 that Germany was the first European country to end the class struggle. They also helped reduce the share of national income going to workers: which fell from 56.9% in 1932 to 53.6% in 1938, while the share going to big business soared from 17.4% up to 26.6%.
