William Monroe Trotter, born on this day in 1872, was a newspaper editor and civil rights activist based in Boston, Massachusetts who co-founded the Niagara Movement with WEB Du Bois.
Trotter was an early opponent of the accommodationist race policies of Booker T. Washington, and in 1901 founded the Boston Guardian, an independent African-American newspaper he used to express that opposition.
Trotter was a key founding member of the “Niagara Movement” with W.E.B. Du Bois and contributed to the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), although he never participated in the group due to a bitter split with Du Bois.
“My vocation has been to wage a crusade against lynching, disenfranchisement, peonage, public segregation, injustice, denial of service in public places for color, in war time and peace.”
- William Monroe Trotter

I hope you nerds have a good month of April 
Remember no crackers
Sounds like my grandad who likes (he is somehow still around despite being very, very, very very old) to go on very creepy rants about how he contributed to ending racism by marrying an Asian woman and also constantly brings up the mixed intelligence thing. Gotta be brainworms from living in the Jim Crow south. Like is it so hard to just reject the race science altogether?
White ppl in mixed relationships keep doing this shit, I remember a time at the airport where this guy was screaming at the (black) gate agent about how it’s possible for mixed couples to have kids. For context what started it was the gate agent going down a line asking if people were together
it makes no sense since the races are already nonsese, like if that shit was real you wouldn’t be saying “Asian” they’d be hyperfetishising a specific neighbourhood in Osaka that has a perfect genetic match with +35% Belgian +45% anglo saxon build. Half assed fetish fiction science.
Well whatever nonsense they’re trying to say, I sure as hell missed out on all that mixed ubermensch shit being the most average student ever and being sick 70% of the time as a kid
