Fred L. Shuttlesworth died at 89. He was a civil rights movement fighter. An excerpt of the NYT article<\/a> about his life fighting over stupidity:<\/p>\n

\n

In one instance, on Christmas night 1956, he survived an attack in which six sticks of dynamite were detonated outside his parsonage bedroom as he lay in bed. \u201cThe wall and the floor were blown out,\u201d Ms. McWhorter wrote, \u201cand the mattress heaved into the air, supporting Shuttlesworth like a magic carpet.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When he tried to enroll his children in an all-white school in 1957, Klansmen attacked him with bicycle chains and brass knuckles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Derrick Bell died at 80. First black professor at Harvard Law School. Article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

In 1980 he left Harvard to become dean of the University of Oregon School of Law, but he resigned in 1985 when the school did not offer a position to an Asian-American woman. After returning to Harvard in 1986, he staged a five-day sit-in in his office to protest the school\u2019s failure to grant tenure to two professors whose work involved critical race theory.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My brother-in-law Sean Wilson died at 38. I don\u2019t have any NYT article for him but he was a good man. Generous and loved by everyone. He will be immensely missed.<\/p>\n

I guess it stops here as my grand father has not yet passed away but fuck, he\u2019s so close to it. I know it\u2019s going to happen soon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, the news of you know who died and made the headlines all week, really annoyed the hell out of me. That was just gross, too much, ridiculously too much, you all disgusted me so bad over this shit. Fuck. Decency Jesus fuck, decency. You don\u2019t have a fucking one. Of course I know, it\u2019s just that the timing wasn\u2019t good.<\/p>\n

A society overdosing on shallowness, glorifying fakeness and worshipping a freaking, useless social status through devoted consumerism and unlimited love for a dictator bitch. I mean, we should just all die in a fire right now, shouldn\u2019t we?<\/p>\n

I was kind of sick today, I thought it was the 20\u00b0C drop in temperature but it might not be the only thing cramping my stomach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
