Side note: Woody Guthrie wrote the song “The Blinding of Isaac Woodard” to publicize the case and performed it at a Harlem benefit concert to advocate for racial equality. The event also partially inspired Orson Welles’ 1958 film A Touch of Evil, which has themes of law enforcement abuse.

Today in history, 1946: Isaac Woodard Jr., a Black Army sergeant, is beaten and permanently blinded by a white police chief in Batesburg, S.C., hours after being honorably discharged from WWII. The event helped spur the desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces. /1

In November 1946, Shull was tried in federal court but acquitted by an all-white jury after less than 30 minutes of deliberation. Woodard moved to the Bronx, where he lived until his death in 1992. In 2019, the town of Batesburg-Leesville acknowledged the injustice with a historical marker. /end

My story about the Swedish branch of my family (⬇️) is charming & funny now; it wasn't then.

Tell me how it's different. Tell me how the descendants of the guy who jumped ship to give his family a better life have more right to be here than the Remolina children.
PS Back then Real Americans™ said things like "[Swedes are] the most disgusting, dirty, lousy reprobates," & "The poorest wages...are so far above anything the Swede ever dreamed of," & "in any labor requiring a degree of skill, he cannot be used," & their odor was "impossible to...a delicate nose."

This video is now banned for US users on Tik Tok.

The platform has fallen to the regime.

And this is EXACTLY the kind of footage they DON’T want US citizens to see.
