@adivunsolicited: Ever wonder why Congress is sworn in all at once? It was rewritten in 1929 to stop a Black man from being blocked. When Oscar De Priest was elected in 1928, Southern Democrats planned to use the traditional "group by group" swearing in ceremony to formally object and lock him out. To bypass them, the Speaker forced everyone to take the oath simultaneously. No pause, no openings. De Priest raised his hand with the crowd, and the format stuck forever. So when you say things like “why do you guys make everything about race” remember it’s you, the country and the systems in place that remind us daily that we are black #BlackHistory #BlackTikTok #congresss #swornin #History

Then they froze congress at 435 in 1929 leading to the extreme issues we have with Gerrymandering. I had not connected his election to the freeze, but I should have seen it. We need to raise more awareness of the freeze and the impacts.

I may not be positive that God is black but I am absolutely sure that Satan is white.

Someone once said in America they see White, Black, Chinese (no matter if you’re Korean, Japanese, filipino) and also Mexican if you speak Spanish. America is indeed a race driven country.
