  1. MSNBC’s subscriber numbers keep rising while their viewership continues to drop. Very strange!

    1. @Scott Baxendale Oh I see! That makes sense — Trump was their revenue source and now that he’s gone no one is interested in this network anymore. But how does that explain the fact that the subscriber numbers here continue to rise?

  2. Couldn’t imagine what that was like. Same thing happened in Florida in Rosewood, good movie with Ving Rhames. So glad we have moved WAY WAY WAY past that type of stuff happening.

  3. As a descendant of both genuine immigrants, and genocidal, abducted-African-owning texas settlers, I am in no way surprised that this horror was successfully hidden from ameriKKKan history books and Zeitgeist for so long.

    It makes me both proud and sick that Joe Biden will be the first president to publicly recognize the tragedy, and mourn the loss.

  4. GOP wants to return to the Jim Crow era – “NO.” Jim Crow laws were a collection of State and local statutes that legalized racial segregation. Named after a Black minstrel show character, the laws—which existed for about 100 years, from the post-Civil War era until 1968—were meant to marginalize African Americans by denying them the “Right to Vote,” hold jobs, get an education or other opportunities.

    1. Here comes MAGAZombies screeching about how the _Democrats_ enacted Jim Crow while pretending the Dixiecrats never split off to join the Republicans and that Robert Byrd was buried in his Klan robe.

  5. I’m glad everyone’s okay especially those hired to take part in this diversion story.

  6. It shows how MSNBC is triggering righties when none of the trolls bother with FOX, NewsMax or OAN’s videos. 😆

  7. LET REPARATIONS BEGIN TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE SLAVEs from all those WHO OWNED THEM. Nothing more nothing less….so let’s move on.

    1. Free Black people were not “slaves” they were ENSLAVED. and Biden is fulla **. He doesnt want reparations.. and doesnt want to Protect Black Americans from Klan cops either.. he is all talk
