My political consciousness only goes back about as far as Bush, and I was a lib until recently. Any older/wiser chapos got pictures to share of pre-bush?
God damn. I thought it was piss at first and thought "How could that get any worse?"
Then I forgot how great America is at making everything far worse than I could have expected
MLK Assassination Uprising. This is Chicago. There's photos like this from every single city.
I forget about how no one EVER mentions this is history books or MLK remembrance days. Like people didn’t just sit down and take it.
Me either, but now seems silly to think it could have been any other way. Some real "history is written by the winners" energy
Six adults and five children, all black, killed by bombing by police in Philadelphia.
That's the one thing your are never supposed to forget. The one thing smh
Three options from 2017, all Charlottesville
- Tiki Torch Nazis surround people at the statue (Alternate I) (Alternate II)
- Shirtless black guy defends an old man from Nazis with an aerosol flamethrower
- Car midway through plowing into a crowd of protesters (CW: Death)
EDIT: Non-Charlottesville option: Victims scramble for cover during the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Massacre
2017
I was scrolling for this one as my choice was definitely Mandalay Bay - but damn, I forgot Charlottesville was literally two months before that
OP you have to edit these responses into the original post with links and in date order.
1921 Tulsa race massacre (aka Greenwood massacre, aka Black Wall Street massacre)
2018: Cesar Sayoc's Insanity Van (Alternate)
Alternate would be something from the Tree of Life massacre but the only photos for that I could find were of the memorials
EDIT: Other alternate would be Fox News's insane coverage of the Migrant Caravan which directly caused the Tree of Life massacre
