@Micro The post is saying the exact opposite. Don’t view it as a threat. It’s just a fact, and there have been incidents in history where groups, at a point where they felt there was nothing left to lose, have fought back, even when outnumbered. The post acknowledges that we’ve still been trying to be part of the system—hardly "racial aggression". 🤨

@Micro Then you didn’t get the point of the quote (which I realized). There is no other situation where people, for the most part, didn’t fight back violently against the aggression they faced daily, but tried to become part of the system.

@bookerdana If they wan revenge they can start with the Africans who originally enslaved and then sold their ancestors to the Europeans, Americans, Arabs, and other Africans.

@ChipmunkErnie But the point is, we didn’t seek revenge ! What about this are you missing ? And the United States was supposed to be the "land of the free”, remember ? None of the other countries make that claim !

@bijouxbroussard Not missing a thing, just pointing out nothing is 100% one way or the other. And "the Land of the Free" was created for free white men originally -- just look at who could vote back in the beginning. It would be nice if we ever lived up to our stated ideals, though.

Exactly.
