- I was riding in the car to school in suburban Philly listening to this on the radio as it went down. Horrifying.
- 40 years ago today, Philadelphia police bombed a neighborhood killing 11 Black people, including 5 Black children. The only person who went to prison was Ramona Africa, a Black woman who survived the bombing. Chances are this is the first you've heard about it. www.qasimrashid.com/p/today-mark...
- I am a 57 year old college educated man. And Qasim is correct. This is the first that I’m hearing about it.
- A few years back, my wife (also college educated) and I were watching HBO’s “The Watchmen” series. It showed a depiction of the Tulsa Race Massacre. It was the first time that either she or I had heard of it. We had to look it up to see if it was a real thing. Fuck.
