I've heard from more than a couple friends in New Orleans of family stories of ancestors legally "Colored" in Louisiana who left the state or country and later returned with legal documentation classifying them as "White".
While the current US President wages his dogwhistle war on "DEI", this is not the first time a President of the United States has tried to re-segregate the country. But it has been a while. Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the Federal government in 1913.

The American imperialists do a splendid job at denying their history, and on top of that, they cynically profess values like democracy and freedom that they don't even practice.
The "good old times" the Republicans want to go back to:

“It seems like we’re headed in the direction where there’s even an attempt to deny that the institution of #slavery even existed, or that #JimCrow laws & #segregation & #RacialViolence against Black communities, Black families, Black individuals even occurred,” said historian Clarissa Myrick-Harris, a professor at Morehouse College, the historically Black campus in Atlanta.

#CivilRights advocates, #historians & #Black political leaders sharply rebuked #Trump on Friday for his order, entitled “Restoring Truth & Sanity to American History.” They argued that his #ExecutiveOrder targeting the #Smithsonian Institution is his admin’s latest move to downplay how #race, #racism & #BlackAmericans themselves have shaped the nation’s story.
'How A Schoolboy's Punishment Benefited America'
The teacher who punished Thurgood Marshall at school had no idea how that punishment would one day change the social landscape of the United States

@nataleebarnett_ a Black british woman on insta has created a biological women only gym in the uk
[The uk is 49% transphobic which should guarantee success for this concept. Proof: https://mastodon.social/@audubonballroon/114195035259404776 ]
(1/3)
MastodonAudubon Ballroon (@audubonballroon@mastodon.social)"The biggest change is in attitudes to trans women in refuges, where now just 51% of the population are comfortable (compared to 61% in 2016)"
https://www.stonewall.org.uk/news/new-report-tells-us-how-public-actually-feel-about-trans-people
[So perhaps the reality is that 49% of the uk are transphobic.]
"After a recent change by the Trump administration, the federal government no longer explicitly prohibits contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms and drinking fountains.
The segregation clause is one of several identified in a public memo issued by the General Services Administration last month, affecting all civil federal agencies."
‘Segregated facilities’ are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts

Je me demandais quand ils en viendraient à s'attaquer aux lois anti-ségrégation.
Ben, ça commence.
Le gouvernement fédéral US n'interdit plus explicitement aux entrepreneurs d'avoir des restaurants, des salles d'attente ségrégués.
Punaise, c'est ahurissant de mettre ce hashtag dans un contexte contemporain..
Subtle micro-aggressions are just as bad as blatant racism, if not worse.

@nancycomics Interesting that the lack of housing was enough of an issue that it featured in a syndicated, widely-seen cartoon strip. Once upon a time the federal government reacted in constructive ways to the need for housing. Unfortunately, racism and segregation created the negative idea people have about government housing projects.

Today in Labor History February 16, 1945: The Alaska Equal Rights Act was signed into law. It was the first anti-discrimination law in the U.S. the law prevents and criminalizes discrimination against anyone in public areas based on their race. The law came in response to the struggle of Indigenous Alaskans fighting discrimination. In 1944, Alberta Schenck (Inupiaq) protested segregation by deliberately sitting in the “whites-only” section of a movie theater in Nome, Alaska. The cops arrested her.
If past is prologue then we already know how they’re going to record the Palestinian Holocaust.
