WHITE HISTORY FACTS DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH! by @HannahDrake628

"One of the top three slave traders in the United States was Rice Carter Ballard, worked with the large slave-trading firm of Isaac Franklin and John Armfield and lived in Louisville, Kentucky."

"America continues to sell this nation a lie that law enforcement is here to protect and serve, and every officer is Officer Friendly. We know police departments origins are rooted in slave patrols which is why in 2021 we continue to see officers abuse and murder Black people."

"You performed medical research on Black people without their consent and withheld treatment. You sterilized Black women without their knowledge. You stole human cells from a Black woman and used them to advance medicine and your profits, all without her consent."

"You lynched and burned Black people and called them barbecues. You glorified lynchings and put these images on postcards. You raped Black women while your wives pretended not to see you. Your wives brutalized Black people then called themselves the victims."

"Entire organizations were established, such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the late 1800s, to construct and disperse the lie that slavery was benign, and slaves were happy."

"They worked to spread these lies in textbooks and continued recycling the lie to young children until the reality of slavery was whitewashed."

"White America has turned villains into heroes, murderers into monuments, and rapists into warriors. They have written and rewritten their history so often, they actually believe the lie even when the truth is staring them in the face."
