This map highlights just a fraction of the many documented incidents of racial violence that have taken place across the United States from the 19th century into the modern era. Each location represents a moment where Black communities faced organized violence, often with little to no legal accountability for those responsible. While the map cannot capture the full scale of history, it serves as a reminder of how widespread and systemic these events were. In 1863, New York City witnessed the Draft Riots, one of the deadliest urban uprisings in American history. What began as protests against military conscription quickly turned into targeted violence against Black residents. Homes were burned, people were assaulted and killed, and entire communities were forced to flee. It revealed how racial tensions could erupt violently even in northern cities. In 1898, Wilmington, North Carolina experienced what is often described as the only successful coup in United States history. A multiracial local government was overthrown by white supremacists through violence and intimidation. Black citizens were killed, elected officials were removed, and many families were forced to leave the city. This event reshaped political power in the region for decades. The early 20th century saw multiple large scale attacks. In 1917, the East St. Louis Massacre resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life as white mobs targeted Black workers and residents. In 1919, known as the Red Summer, violence spread across several cities including Chicago and Elaine, Arkansas. In Elaine, hundreds of Black sharecroppers were killed after attempting to organize for fair wages. These events showed how economic and racial tensions often intersected with deadly consequences. In 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre devastated the Greenwood District, a thriving Black community often referred to as Black Wall Street. Over the course of two days, homes and businesses were destroyed, and many residents were killed or displaced. For decades, the event was largely omitted from mainstream historical narratives, highlighting how easily such histories can be erased or ignored. Other locations on the map, such as Rosewood in 1923 and Ocoee in 1920, reflect similar patterns of violence where entire Black communities were attacked, leading to displacement and long term economic and social consequences. Even in later years, events like Detroit in 1943 show that racial violence did not simply disappear but continued to shape American cities. Understanding these moments is important not only for historical awareness but also for recognizing patterns. These were not isolated incidents. They were part of a broader system in which racial inequality was enforced through both law and violence. Acknowledging this history allows for more honest conversations about justice, accountability, and the long lasting impact these events have had on communities across generations.

Jennings was asked if threatening genocide is acceptable. His answer: 'The commander in chief can deal with them however he wants' Jennings thinks genocide is a legitimate 'strategy.' This is what fascism looks like

Mayor Mamdani just said it out loud: "The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000." Ten times the wealth. Same city. Same century.
