SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 22/11/2024unfortunately, few listened to Anita Hill. Black women were the least likely to believe her. Joe Biden, then Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, led the attack on Hill's credibility, refused to call witnesses, & refused to postpone the hearing to present evidence that would’ve hurt Thomas. 091
SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Under William Penn, Quaker colonizer of Pennsylvania, there was a sharp increase in the enslavement of Africans. Penn, a slave owner himself, preferred enslaving Africans over white indentured servants “for then a man has them while they live.” By 1690, most whites in nearby NJ were slave owners. 030

SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 07/08/2023In 1841, after armed Black men in Cincinnati defended themselves from white mobs, the city declared martial law, disarmed them & jailed all Black men. That night white mobs again attacked Black Cincinnati, destroying Black churches & houses, raping Black girls, & expelling Black women & kids. 031

SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 28/07/20231830s pro-slavery mobs in the North saw abolitionism as a “British plot” to destroy white america. These “mobs identified with the Sons of Liberty, the Minute Men, & similar groups”, seeing attacks on free Black ppl & abolitionists as following in the footsteps of the founding slave masters. 141

SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 11/07/2023White fears abt race mixing was the #1 motivation behind the anti-Black mobs. “Throughout the ante-bellum period, anti-abolitionists repeated no charge with greater pertinacity than that of amalgamation, & none could more effectively stir up the rancor & the brutality of a mob.” - Richards 132
SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 11/07/2023The racist judge, Andrew Judson, who led the campaign against Crandall’s school for Black girls, was the same judge who ruled in favor of the Africans in the Amistad case. His ruling wasn’t based on freeing Africans tho, as an American Colonization Society officer he wanted all Black ppl deported. 082

SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 11/07/2023White, pro-slavery mobs were especially active in Connecticut. In 1833, a white Quaker, Prudence Crandall, opened a school for Black girls in CT. Angry whites, led by a judge, called it a “devilish plot to make New England New Liberia”. Mobs sabotaged the school & ran Ms. Crandall out of the state. 131
SLANK @slank.bsky.social · 11/07/2023From 1826-29, Cincinnati’s Black pop. grew from 4% to 10%. In response, whites demanded strict enforcement of OH’s Black Laws & formed huge mobs for an anti-Black terror campaign, expelling half the Black pop. “…never again in the ante-bellum period did Cincinnati’s Negro population exceed 5%…” 141
