Thread: Wrestler Rocky Johnson, passed away yesterday



Years ago, for some reason, I looked up Johnson's bio and noticed that he was a descendant of the Nova Scotia "Black Loyalists."



The Black Loyalists' story is a tale of resistance that affects everyone reading this thread

It started ten days before Kwanzaa in 1773, a secret organization called the Sons of Liberty organized a

protest against a parliamentary law that allowed the British East India Company to import tea from China. Apparently, white people really like tea.

At the Boston Tea Party, protesters rioted and looted like the Patriots had won the Super Bowl. (If you’re wondering why they called it a “party,” you must understand that Caucasian parties are different. Very few colonists could perform the kick-turn part of the Electric Slide.)
