The relationship between Black people and the Atlantic Ocean is often a heavy, tragic one. But artists in “Becoming the Sea” use the exhibit as an opportunity to reclaim and transform the water narrative. #oceans #blacks #slaver

Ancestry Releases Records of 183,000 Enslaved Individuals in America

There are words that relay the extreme gravity of a crime. Words like 'rape', 'murder', 'incest' and 'extortion' all have a visceral sense of how bad an act is.

If only we could determine a word like that for '#moneyPrinters'.

Words '#theft' and '#slaver' are too weak. The term '#humanTrafficking' is not bad but has other meanings.

If 'usury' is for loanSharks — how about '#abusery'?

Or something named after the #CantillonEffect — like '#tillony'?

Hi. As near as I can make out from genealogical dives a few years back, my third-great-grandfather was a #slaver in Missouri.

Which, as I see it, makes it something of a moral imperative for me to share this video on how the US #history narrative on #slavery has been corrupted.

*The last slave was freed in 1942, not 1865.*

Eager to discuss with #BlackMastodon and all of #Mastodon during US #BlackHistoryMonth.

@OneBlindMouse it’s #FOMO for sure - but the core is #crypto bros who think Twitter will go on #blockchain and “moon” prices, MAGAts who likes be nothing more than a #white #supremacist #slaver in charge and remaining “resisters” who, perhaps unbeknownst to them are actually increasing #Musks #power by remaining on there. Maybe it’ll take more time before they leave but the sooner the better.
