Random Jim Crow fun fact: When visiting black sharecroppers in the early 1960s, Dr. king encountered entire communities of ppl who had never seen U.S. currency bcuz they had never been paid real $$ for their work, only scrip which could be redeemed with the landowners.

Longtime black here. I have cleaned out the homes of numerous elders after their passing.
We ALWAYS found a cash stash...a cigar box under a floorboard, a rolled-up sock, a pocket in a gun case...
All remnants of a pragmatism informed by living under Jim Crow.
This guy sucks
As a black person, I would like to inform the masses that, contrary to popular belief, we do not, in fact, keep large sums of cash in our homes. That's a corrupt Democrat politician thing.

Dear black kids, never be the 'only one'.
A white woman pushed an aspiring black doctor into a lake knowing he couldn’t swim. The woman also lied to his parents saying ‘he fell into the lake’. They also watched him for 10 minutes before bystanders who did not know him intervened.
