#sundowntown
So naturally Bob Kettle, city council's most excited ex-cop who wants a spy network, refused to turn over video footage of my assault directly infront of his home surveillance camera 🥴
I guess Bob Kettle likes his privacy more than solving crimes.
Yet here we are, spying on a few thousand old asian grannies in the CID and probably helping get them in trouble with ICE.

The United States has turned into one gigantic #SundownTown . Internat'l people are not safe in the United States. They should understand that at least 1/3 of the population are unapologetic Nazis. They sent an autism volunteer to a death camp CECOT bsky.app/profile/reic...

Wow. The most consequential special elections in the past 10 yrs & they can't interrupt the #SundownTown tour to stump for them? Are the precious maganuts' feelings more important than saving democracy? 😐😑🥱 Musk (or whoever's funding the tour) won't pay for them to fly to FL & WI? #BlackSky #USPol

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1923, the Arkansas #CatcherRaceRiot took place. The unexplained death of a white woman was pretext for a #pogrom in which three were killed and the entire #AfricanAmerican population was expelled, their cemeteries exhumed & burnt, creating a #SundownTown.
The city of #Cullman Alabama has kicked off a social media "Look at our charming Christmas town!" campaign, in an attempt to draw tourism.
Y'all, Cullman is (arguably) Bama's most notorious #SundownTown. Don't go there.

I had good friends who took part in the 1987 marches there. They were pelted with rocks and beer cans by white teenagers. Oprah did a show from there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_Forsyth_County_protests
@drahardja There are still a few towns that practice the racial harassment without the sirens; I’ve heard of a few in southern Illinois. This is part of why I say that I really do live in the South, even if it’s Illinois. If you’re white, you don’t know it. #SundownTown #Racism #USpolitics
I’d never seen this before. Perfect. #SundownTown #AdeemTheArtist
Fuck El Segundo.
Even in 2023,Black people stay away from there.
The reputation as a #SundownTown still exists.
A Tribe Called Quest lost their wallet in El Segundo.
That's all you need to know.
Rooting for Curacao today.

Did you know-👇🏾#blackhistoryisamericanhistory Today we remember Civil Rights Martyr Carolyn Jenkins who was murdered in the #sundowntown of Martinsville, IN. on Sept. 16, 1968 for selling encyclopedias after dark. No one was ever prosecuted for her murder. Jenkins was 21 years old.

Here's a map of known "sundown towns" throughout the U.S. I assumed they were exclusively a Southern phenomenon but I was wrong; I live within a walking distance of one such former sundown town.

#racismSucks Are you near a #Sundowntown? I've been to a few places that brag about their history of redlining, but haven't knowingly spent any time in a sundown town.
