   The US has never really had free speech. Ever.🤷🏿♂️

   There's never been a point in US history when Black folk could speak freely without severe consequences from their government. By severe consequences, I mean government programs designed to falsely imprison or execute them.

   Slavery was obvious.

   To Jim Crow: cops & politicians targeting "uppity" negroes.

   To COINTELPRO.

   To "Black Identity extremists."

   US free speech usually just means "Let the nazis talk"
