Reverse Freedom Rides’: An echo of Martha’s Vineyard migrant flights 60 years ago

[Guno צְבִי]

Tricked by segregationists with promises of work and housing, Black families were dropped in Cape Cod with nothing. Sound familiar?

Today’s migrants in Martha’s Vineyard are now being transported to the same Cape Cod military base that housed the “Reverse Freedom Riders” decades ago.

It was all part of the so-called Reverse Freedom Rides, arranged by White segregationists in 1962 in retaliation for the Freedom Rides of the previous summer, when Black and White volunteers rode buses through the South supporting desegregation.

The plot was organized by white supremacist Citizens’ Councils in Arkansas, who bought radio ads and made fliers advertising the “opportunity” to African Americans.

You should read this. All of it. None of that was what the modern day democrats are trying to make it out to be for one: https://www.wgbh.org/news/the-long-journey-north

Two, no black person in this country thinks it is right or fair to be comparing what happened to a bunch of illegal aliens. Once again Guno, you prove your pasty whiteness.
