Pocahontas was twelve. TWELVE. Her story is one of mental, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her kidnappers.

Disney turned her story into an animated musical where she’s older and consenting and falls in love with a white man and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then they marketed that story and geared it towards children.

Do NOT argue with Natives about why they hate that movie.

Will minority groups learn to put aside narrow nationalisms and binary thinking and work jointly to confront forces that suppress them all? It would seem that they have much to gain but old patterns of thought die hard.

“Once upon a time there was a hazel-eyed boy with dimples. I called him Khalil. The world called him a thug.
He lived, but not nearly long enough, and for the rest of my life I'll remember how he died.
Fairy tale? No. But I'm not giving up on a better ending.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Abraham Lincoln was as much a white supremacist as the average white man in the 19th century. None of his actions had a visionary moral basis, nor was he guided by a desire for social equality. His views were used by Southern congressmen in the 1960s to rail against the civil rights movement, and are even used today in white supremacist literature.
Abraham Lincoln was not in favor of racial equality and believed that Black people were inferior to white people. He was a fan of minstrel shows that popularized harmful, insidious anti-Black stereotypes that held that Black people were inferior.
Although he is nicknamed the Great Emancipator, he was in support of a globalized system of slavery. Lincoln was in support of the Corwin Amendment - which was passed by the 36th Congress - that would have made slavery a permanent institution of the United States. He wanted to ship Black Americans to Africa when they were freed, and alternatively supported segregation as a solution to the “Negro problem”. In his time as president, he also ordered the largest mass hanging in US history of Dakota Indians in 1862.
Abraham Lincoln was just as much a white supremacist as his contemporaries, and although he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he was no anti-racist nor an abolitionist hero.

Madame KIM JONG SUK was the pioneer of women's liberation in Korea who built the women's movement in Korea defying reactionary feudal superstitions and old customs. She took the road of revolution early in life becoming a great women guerrilla fighter and an excellent political worker . She was a crackshot who defended the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG with her life.
After liberation from Japanese rule in 1945 Madame KIM JONG SUK devoted great efforts to building a new democratic Korea . She founded the Democratic Women's Union and played a great role in the liberation of women . Madame KIM JONG SUK also paid attention to the work of building an independent defence industry.
Madame KIM JONG SUK was the pioneer of Juche-based , socialist proletarian feminism who opposed bourgeois and revisionist ideas as well as feudal confucian ideas .
The great leader comrade KIM JONG IL was brought by Madame KIM JONG SUK to be a great revolutionary and a future great leader of Korea.
Although Madame KIM JONG SUK passed away 70 years ago she is alive in our hearts and minds.
