When sharecroppers farmed the land of white landowners, they were forced to rent their housing & tools. They had to use the pricing & credit system landowners offered, with typical interest rates running from 50%-100%. Price gouging kept sharecroppers in perpetual debt. #BHforWP

The historical legacies of convict leasing and mass incarceration have worked together to create a widespread stereotype that Black men are more violent, more criminal, and more dangerous than white men. This was not always the case. #BHforWP

The harm continues to compound. Banks look at Black communities or businesses and assess them as ‘more risky.’ Because these communities deal with ongoing discrimination and suppression, banks continue to charge higher interest rates to businesses in Black communities. #BHforWP

Any confederate statue that was part of the false narrative of the Lost Cause myth needs to come down—it serves no historical purpose. It has no redemptive purpose. It honors men at precisely the point of their greatest vice. It is unloving to our Black neighbors. #BHforWP

We invite you to pause for a minute. It's hard to process all this. It's tempting to read on quickly/look away. Millions of people suffered under this oppression & the constant fear it induced. These systems continued until the Civil Rights Movement, less than a lifetime ago.

The history of systemic racism in America remains largely untold because the Black survivors did not wield the decision-making power in courtrooms, newsrooms, publishers, and universities to tell their side of the story. #BHforWP

Our race is not something we need to be defending or denouncing. Our race is not our central identity. We can simply (though admittedly, not always easily) do the work of loving others: listening to them, empathizing with them, and considering them more important than ourselves.

Love practiced in the context of America’s interracial dialogue requires that we tell the truth about America’s past. However earnestly we may attempt to tune race out, we cannot help but notice that Black Americans and white Americans remain unequal. #BlackHistory #History
