In 1969, (Samuel L.) Jackson and several other students held members of the Morehouse College board of trustees (including Martin Luther King Sr.) hostage on the campus, demanding reform in the school's curriculum and governance. The college eventually agreed to change its policy, but Jackson was charged with and eventually convicted of unlawful confinement, a second-degree felony.

In case anyone gets curious, yes this was the actor Samuel L. Jackson. He was also an usher at MLK Jr's funeral.
Badass motherfucker.
Definitely. But I won't lie, it's painful to see him doing credit card commercials now.
It happens to a lot of old celebrities. They're easy money. I really hope he needs the money badly or something, though. It's kind of hard to believe he's not set for life, but lots of rich people end up nearly destitute for one reason or another so who knows?
He almost joined the Black Panthers but his mom was afraid of the feds
im tired of these motherfucking feds on this motherfucking plane
"Social democracy is objectively the left wing of fascism" isn't just something we say.
A while ago she was calling for mulching homeless people, too. Glad to see she's committing to the bit.
Always worth remembering - during civil rights people like Kasparian were screaming and frothing at the mouth demanding that civil rights marchers be gunned down.
Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.”
― Stokely Carmichael
During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred, and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their deaths, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names, to a certain extent, for the ‘consolation’ of the oppressed classes, and with the object of duping the latter, while, at the same time, robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge, and vulgarizing it. Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labour movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is, or seems, acceptable to the bourgeoisie.
If I had three wishes I would wish for Lenin to come back three times
1- Lenin come back
2- Give him a 100 million army.
3- Give him nukes.
Otherwise he comes back and just becomes some contrarian Marxist with a substack.
Wasted opportunity: you could have given him a gundam and the dragon balls too with the other two wishes.
Wasn't this because she was upset about an article that said to use 'bonus hole' instead of 'vagina' for transmasc people
