The only reason public schools have free lunch and nutrition supplemental programs is because the Black Panthers free meals program was so popular that states had to pass those laws to try to neutralize their influence
They confiscated food meant for poor children or destroyed it by soaking it with water or urinating on it; they spread lies about the breakfasts being poisoned, or the Panthers teaching hate and ‘anti-American’ rhetoric.
Pro-American rhetoric; children should suffer and starve if they don’t have money.
Honestly it aligns given how English has the expression “I’m not Mother Theresa” to somehow imply that you’re not a divinely virtuous person, when in reality Mother Theresa was a vile piece of trash that knowingly inflicted suffering and disease on people, because she believed that it’s pious and just for poor people to suffer.
Holy shit, had no idea about this

I saw a documentary about this incident called Let the Fire Burn a long time ago. Truly fucked up!
