Mad Men | S05E12 “Commissions and Fees”
Aretha was one of the few major stars who spoke up for Angela Davis. She even offered to post a quarter million dollars in bail…This could’ve been career suicide.

I have always wondered why the bond apparently wasn’t actually put up — there’s a hint here in the suggestion that for some reason the courts wouldn’t let her, though I want to know why that is, too.
Anyway, I’ve only ever heard good things about Ree as a person, and I’ve always found this extraordinarily amazing and badass. I just don’t even have the words for it. Especially reading her explanation up above. This both makes me want to dance with joy that she exists and bow down at her feet.
Aretha + Angela, you guys. ARETHA + ANGELA.
White privilege is living on stolen land, and having the arrogance to say “Go back to where you came from”.
While I agree with this in principle, one thing I wonder. How long is it until its not “stolen land” because there have been European people who have been living in the northeast of the United States for over 200 years. Are you really going to tell 8th generation family that they are living on stolen land? Because at that point, almost the entire planet was stolen at one time or another
If you steal a car and drive it all your life, it’s still stolen.
If you rob a bank and hide the money for your 8th generation family to find, it’s still stolen.
Because at that point, almost the entire planet was stolen at one time or another.
yes you got it!

Effects of White Phosphorus and Depleted Uranium; in case you forgot.
Iraq still pays compensation for the 6 month war waged on Kuwait by Saddam in 1990.
The US does not pay compensation for the 9 year illegal occupation of Iraq.
These are the effects and the consequences of an illegal war, it is always the children who suffer.
