Poster of REAL (often ugly) American history. Not the feel-good bullshit they taught you in school. Example: Hey Florida, the transatlantic slave trade was not, in fact, a vocational training program for immigrant Africans.

I mute trolls and their alternate accounts. If anyone can provide viable sources that prove my posts or conclusions were wrong, I invite you to do so. I will not engage with bullies or trolls. Anyone interested in harassing a neurodivergent student of ACTUAL history can just fuck all the way off.

When the coup plotters were discovered and executed in Havana, [entitled] whites rioted in New Orleans to demand the United States annex Cuba anyway.” Because there’s nothing more dangerous in this world than a White man who was told ‘no.’

The Taínos were one of the 3 indigenous Cuban cultures on the island prior to 1894 who named it, Guantánamo which means ‘land between rivers.’ In 1851, “A group of Americans followed a Venezuelan-born merchant Narciso Lopez, in an attempt to overthrow the Spanish Colonial government.

To recap, a white employee of a White European country arbitrarily claimed a whole island inhabited by the Taínos for his employer just because he crossed an ocean (which he also didn’t own) to find it. And did so without regard to the people who were already there.

In fact, the report notes that when a white person kills an African American, it is 281 percent more likely to be ruled a ‘justifiable homicide’ than white-on-white killing.
