Yea, it’s cursed because of it. Call it karma, supernatural, fate… but the lake takes lives bacc at a high rate. @Race Jones posted this in another thread.

Just for those who don't know........most man made lakes in this country sits on land that either African & Native American people owned and or lived on that was either forcefully taken or the people were paid pennies on the dollar.

This country is built off gangsterism. Roll up, push people off their bloc, and erase the history.

I’m glad social media helps spread more education on these things

I just think it’s funny how a certain white demographic will tell you to do for self and don’t rely on handouts and be the descendants of the men and women that destroyed all the work of our people that actually did for self...

This is blowing my mind, wtf...

 

[Loch121]

Oh yeah ppl always be dying at Lake Lanier.

Happens several times a year seems like.

I never knew about this story as far as Oscarville.

They don't talk about that shit.

And white folks debating CRT aka systematic race.

Lake Lanier should be the new Jordan Peele movie.

Shit like black Poltergeist

A whole town under water.

Dos posted this in The Cookout and Race's post about environmental racism in the 'Detroit Flood" thread reminded me of the video

This is akin to entire Black towns being burned down/flooded out, a la Tulsa's Black Wall Street, only to have lakes built over where those towns used to be



S/O: @DOS_patos for the vid

A Wrenching Decision Where Black History and Floods Intertwine (Published 2016)

Residents of Princeville, N.C., are considering the prospect of leaving their town after enduring a 100-year flood for the second time in 17 years.
