Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

And they even led to one of the few cases in American history where there were serious talks about gun control!

Yes, but only because white people were terrified of black people with guns, so I wouldn't call that a good case.

Yeah it's shocking how much of our society (like credit) was put in place specifically to keep POC disadvantaged

Jim Crow never went away just changed the name.
