The 1964 Harlem Riot was one of a number of race-based uprisings/ protests that took place in multiple cities across the United States during the 1960s. As elsewhere Harlem blacks reacted to racial discrimination, segregation, police brutality and social injustices that dominated their lives. They resorted to violence to express their disgust with the system.

Ironically the Harlem Riot occurred just two weeks after the 1964 Civil Rights Act was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson. The act, which outlawing discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, and nationality, was the most sweeping measure ever adopted by the nation to guarantee racial justice. The irony lies in the fact that while the Civil Rights Act made it illegal to discriminate against a U.S. citizen based on race or color, the discriminatory socioeconomic systems and structures long in place in the nation did not change with this new law.

The Harlem uprising began on July 16, 1964 when 15-year-old James Powell was shot and killed by white off-duty police Lieutenant Thomas Gilligan. The Harlem community was infuriated by the murder which it viewed as an unnecessary example of police brutality. Many Harlemites were convinced that Officer Gilligan, a war veteran and experienced police officer, could have found a way to arrest and subdue Powell without using deadly force.

The first two days following the shooting saw peaceful protesting in Harlem and other areas of New York City, New York. However, on July 18, some of the protesters went to the Harlem Police Station, calling for the resignation or termination of Officer Gilligan. Police officers were on guard outside the building, and as tensions grew, some in the crowd began throwing bricks, bottles, and rocks at the officers who waded into the crowd using their nightsticks. When word of the confrontation spread rioting ensued first in Harlem and then spread into Bedford-Stuyvesant, the black and Puerto Rican section of Brooklyn.

The race riot in the two boroughs of New York City lasted six days. It included breaking windows, looting, vandalism, and setting a variety of local businesses on fire. When the rebellion ended on July 22, one black resident was killed. There were more than 100 injuries, 450 arrests, and around $1 million in property damage.

The Harlem uprising was the beginning of a series of violent confrontations with police in more than a dozen cities throughout the North including Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the New Jersey cities of Jersey City, Paterson, and Elizabeth; as well as Chicago (Dixmoor) Illinois, making it the most violent in terms of urban rioting since 1919. These rebellions as well as civil rights protests mainly in the South, helped designate the summer of 1964 as the Long, Hot Summer.

Dude is getting seriously worn down. I watched a clip of an interview and he didn't bend but the interviewer asked him 3 times if he would condemn the phrase. Idk how many times he can get asked that stupid fucking question without finally giving up.

I'm not holding my breath thinking that much will change if he wins but the onslaught against him is so intense

Finally saw Sinners.

I think all I knew about it prior was people whose taste I respect saying that I should watch it without really going into any more detail.

I was totally unprepared for a few pivotal scenes and that was so great; thank you to the brief and vague reviewers who keep it at "see it."

Me when I'm eepy but I can't fuggn sleep

Extracted from one of my β€˜favorite’ Feddit pissholes, /r/Judaism:

I am not defending Zorhan's statements on Israel. As I stated up top I did not vote for him, nor do I currently support him.

I am stating that there is a history of primarily right wing Jews calling anyone critical of Israel's military and settlement policies an antisemite has created a skepticism around Jew's calling out actual antisemitism. There have been massive Bring Them Home protests across Israel against Netanyahu's policies regularly since October 7th, are those Israeli Jews antisemites too? I am a Zionist, I fully believe that Zorhan is an Anti-Zionist, I am skeptical of the claim that he is antisemitic. Again as I stated above, I believe his stories are disingenuous when his responses to questions on antisemitism are "I have a jewish friend...".

So let's see: he promotes rhetoric that is getting Jews targeted, attacked, and killed in this country, and refuses to back down from it even when confronted with evidence of that, you find his stories of "I have a Jewish friend" whenever he is confronted with the accusation of antisemitism disingenuous... what would it take for you to call him an antisemite?

You are missing the point. When people get accused of antisemitism for critiquing Israeli policy, it has become harder to call out antisemitism when it is clear. And that is our fault.

To be clear, when I say critiquing Israeli policy, the first time I was called an antisemite for that, was in an orthodox shul, for saying bulldozing the entire block where a suicide bomber came from is not only an immoral idea, but one that won't yield long term gain. This was 25 years ago? And that wasn't the last time. Just the first.

So yes, I absolutely agree with mgas95 that this would look very different if Zorhan were white. So yes, there is a very real contingent of people, of American Jews, that call anything antisemitism, and they are loud, and they muddy the waters. And it becomes that much harder to be taken seriously when the "obama is a secret muslim" contingent (that I grew up with) will snap at anything.

This isn't about the facts, this is about perception. And if we have learned anything over the past decade+, perception is important. And we have failed, and are failing.

Ahhh, β€˜progressive’ Zionists: always hoping that they can somehow still fix the cult that they’re stuck in.

just got a ping in some idle game discord server i'm in, some news update, and the reacts started poring in as usual and whenever I get pinged like this I like to go add the Palestine flag. It was already there so I added a vote to it, but saw there were also a half dozen zonists adding their rag, I was about to check who the users were when it got deleted

So, I read the Autobiography of Malcolm X recently and it was such a good compelling read, I checked out Spike Lee's 1992 movie.

It was alright, you can really see Spikes talents started early, but boy is it long and despite that I still think it should have included more. I feel like we should have seen maybe more of his youth, let that part breathe, and I didn't really like some of the adaptations for the screen: squashing Sammy the Pimp and West Indian Archie into one role made things weird, chronologically, and I never read Archie as like, a boss to Sammy like that. Likewise, the complete omission of Malcolms blood brothers and sisters is egregious, especially missing is his brother Reginald getting him into Islam -his character gets rolled awkwardly into Bimbi, in prison- as well as his sister, Ella, who plays such a critical role in his life it's really weird how she's just not there.

I can't help but marvel how different things could have been if he weren't murdered.

Its kind of amazing how the Trump line right now is that the Epstein files were fake and created by Biden so he could cover them up and releasing them would be releasing CSAM even though the files are fake.

I am officially declaring that anyone who remains on the Trump train isn't sapient.

Saw the new Superman movie, liked it a lot more than I thought I would. A much better film than virtually all of the MCU, and Man of Steel (I never watched Batman vs Superman but based on the clips I think I’m safe in my assumption this is better than those). I liked The Suicide Squad (that’s the James Gunn one) but this is a little better than that. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but my feelings are that this movie is just a bit worse then the second best MCU film, The First Avenger.

Not in the same league as The Batman, which was the best superhero film since 2012’s Dredd (or if you feel like Dredd’s doing a very different sort of thing from the capes then I guess the last good superhero movie was 2009’s Watchmen (yeah, I know, it’s far from a perfect or even good adaptation but I think it’s a decent movie). I guess if you hate Watchmen that much then just go back one more year to 2008, the year of the superhero.)

SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT JOKER. I like both of those movies but I thought about it and decided they don’t count. We’re talking about action/adventure films here which happen to be based on superhero comics, whereas Jokers 1 and 2 are early career Scorsese pastiche that could only secure funding by attaching it to Batman.

Skyblivion is one of if not the most impressive videogame passion projects of all time and I can't wait as it nears its release. It's an entirely fan-driven remake of Oblivion in the Skyrim engine for those unaware. All assets have been made from scratch and the variety of skills, talent, and coordination required to pull this off is inspiring. Seeing examples of passionate people working on something collectively at a massive scale, not for profit, is surprisingly critical to retaining my sanity right now.

Here's to a 2025 release, but I hope that team feels no pressure to crunch and lets their projection slip to 2026 if need be.

If anyone else is aware of other large collective creative projects and is willing to write a short blurb about them I'd love to read it.

My boss is a phonecalls guy. These days us millennials are all on our phones so most bosses are texters but my current one will only respond to texts with a thumbs up emoji or not respond at all.
