"You will never find justice in a world where criminals make the laws." #BobMarley #BlackHistory

"There is an unbroken line of police violence in the United States that takes us all the way back to the days of slavery, the aftermath of slavery, the development of the Ku Klux Klan. There is so much history of this racist violence that simply to bring one person to justice is not going to disturb the whole racist edifice." – #AngelaDavis #BlackHistory

"Equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air; we all have it or none of us has it." – #MayaAngelou #BlackHistory

"I do not pray.... I do not expect God to single me out and grant me advantages over my fellow men.... Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to admit weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility." – #ZoraNealeHurston #BlackHistory

"I don't think we can rely on governments, regardless of who is in power, to do the work that only mass movements can do." – #AngelaDavis #BlackHistory

"People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave." – #AssataShakur #BlackHistory

"You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution. You can run a freedom fighter around the country but you can't run freedom fighting around the country. You can murder a liberator, but you can't murder liberation." ― #FredHampton #BlackPanthers #BlackHistory

"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going." ― #HarrietTubman #BlackHistory

Rep. Cori Bush of #Missouri, a #progressive #Democrat and critic of the #Gaza war, lost in the primary against her challenger Wesley Bell, who was supported by pro-#Israel AIPAC.

It was one of the most expensive House races in U.S. history -- and "nasty," according to Bell.

According to DropSiteNews.com, leaked audio indicated Bell told Bush last year:

“And I’m telling you right now, I’m telling you on my word: I am not running against you. That is not happening.”

Yesterday, America learned how #corrupt our #justice system is.

However, Black America shrugs; the weight of being treated like the underclass is jarring for everyone else because Black Americans have been the poster children of systematic abuse in the United States since inception.

Welcome to the club.
