The Zebra Reminds Me Of Black People

Reading Off Whiteness IV wrote: The zebra reminds me of black people. The zebra thinks just because the lion has let the zebra drink side by side with it at the pond that not all lions think zebras are prey. Although that thinking by the zebra benefits the lions, it is certainly detrimental to the zebra. For if lions could get a few zebra to think in the same confused manner as the one drinking beside it, the lions hunting would be made easy. The lion will allow the zebra to leave unharmed because there may be other zebra witnessing from a distance what has taken place believing they too can do the same.

The moral of the story is the nature of the lion has not changed, the lion has simply refined its hunting tactics to make the zebra think that it has. Just because you are now able to drink water, eat, work, and play next to white people does not mean that their nature has changed, white people simply refined the system to make you think they have.

When she was nine the King of England, Edward II, decided that he would marry his son, the future Edward III, to her, and sent one of his bishops, a Bishop Stapeldon, to look at her.

369th Infantry Regiment “Harlem Hellfighters”

First organized in 1916 as the 15th New York National Guard Infantry Regiment and manned by black enlisted soldiers with both black and white officers, the U.S. Army’s 369th Infantry Regiment, popularly known as the “Harlem Hellfighters,” was the best known African American unit of World War I. The regiment was nicknamed the Harlem Hellfighters, the Black Rattlers, which was given to the regiment by the French. The nickname "Hell Fighters" was given to them by the Germans due to their toughness and that they never lost a man through capture, lost a trench or a foot of ground to the enemy.
