““Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I’ve heard educated white people say, ‘slavery was 400 years ago.’ No it very wasn’t. It was 140 years ago…that’s two 70-year-old ladies living and dying back to back. That’s how recently you could buy a guy.””

- Louis C.K. (via 30thcenturyboy)

Sylvester Magee, the (probable) last American born into slavery died in 1971.

The last living child of former American slaves, Mississippi Winn, died in 2010.

Slavery in the territory that is now the United States lasted more than 330 years. We will be 330 years removed from slavery in the year 2195.

For what it’s worth, I think Jesus would have totes supported this tumblr. I know I sure do. - courage86

Dude, Jesus was a socialist hippie who gave away free healthcare, hung out with prostitutes, and could turn water into booze. Jesus and I would be BFFs. (And thank you!)
