Jud@VeroniqueB99 Not too sure we're in green territory.
@jud ikr?!...
AlexisDyslexic@VeroniqueB99 I also feel like the green color should be more like a yellow green... and a reminder of what reparations are still needed. Coming from someone who used to think 'we fixed it' with my public education.
@alexisdyslexic yeah that'd be a better color...
David M. Levinson ⁂@VeroniqueB99 really until at least 1965 when Civil Rights passed into federal law.
@VeroniqueB99 now in Australia it’s at least 1967 before Aboriginal rights were acknowledged https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Australian_referendum_(Aboriginals)?wprov=sfti1#
@Transportist Yeah I saw, they clearly are struggling even now.
@Transportist Yeah, it's too bad they didn't put 1965 on there...

What surprises me(as a European) even more is that the Republican Party was founded by an anti-slavery movement. And the Democrats being until recently much more entangled with KKK and the second KKK existed less than 100 years ago.
PS: Also you might want to add an alt text to the image.
@Nickname yup... it's a long story.
Send it to me. I'll include it.
@VeroniqueB99
Sure, I would probably edit the post and add something like this as alt text of the image:
"I feel like this needs to be posted periodically to refresh people's memories."
Graph showing the American slavery-timeline:
1619-1865 (246years) American Slavery
1865-1954 (89years) Segregation
1954-present
