True in 1851.True in 2013. Nothing has changed. Man is still "between a hawk & a buzzard"...
Sorry it's hard to read:
"But (white) man is in a tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming on him, and he is surely between a hawk and a buzzard." -Emancipated slave and women's and negro rights activist Sojourner Truth at the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, on May 29, 1851

CAN YOU BELIEVE we're still having to fight this shit? CAN YOU BELIEVE what this woman said in 1851 is STILL TRUE? CAN YOU BELIEVE these men have still not learned a damn thing?
"Twixt the negros in the South, and the women in the North, white man gonna be in a fix real soon." (White man was "in a fix" then, and still is today - white men are STILL suppressing the votes of minorities and women and gerrymandering/cheating to keep themselves in power)
Just LOOK at 'em! Look at all their damned 'ALEC' model bills they're shoving through under the cover of darkness and in sneaky ways - because they know that's the ONLY way it'll ever pass.
