Dr Clint Smith - Crash Course - The Dred Scott Decision
It gives me a warm tingly feeling to announce that Roger Taney is still fuckin' dead, and that if there's any cosmic justice, the prick is hanging upside down in a giant vat of lava-hot diarrhetic hippo shit - where he will remain for a thousand eternities.

Voices Of The Enslaved
Ted Koppel from the late 1990s
The takeaway: Governments don't grant people their rights. Rights are not given - they're inherent. We have those rights no matter what.
Petty ambitious people will always be selfishly motivated to use government power to gain advantage for themselves by denying others their rights, so government has to be constructed and maintained in ways that countervail that selfish impulse - so that government isn't allowed to deny us those rights.
FIGHTING FOR EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS
IS EVERYBODY'S FIGHT

My late father Spencer was the best dad. That’s me at about 2 weeks old, my dad’s 1st-born and only son. In 1986 Mississippi when my [white] mom went into labor, she had to convince hospital staff to give him access. He is Black History. We honor him today, this month, always🖤🖤 pic.twitter.com/1BSvs9jXis

Slave Codes - ostensibly to protect the slave holders' "investments", these laws made little or no distinction between enslaved black people and any other black folks.
