It was tied to online fundraisers that brought in at least $100,000 that supposedly went to Black Lives Matter causes in the U.S. At least some of the money, however, was transferred to Australian bank accounts, CNN has learned. Fundraising campaigns associated with the Facebook page were suspended by PayPal and Patreon after CNN contacted each of the companies for comment. Donorbox and Classy had already removed the campaigns. The discovery raises new questions about the integrity of Facebook's platform and the content hosted there. Only after almost a week of emails and calls between CNN and Facebook about this story did Facebook suspend the page, and then only because it had suspended a user account that administrated the page.

Indeed, Facebook was told of concerns about the page some time ago. Mediapart - ⏪ [REPLAY] – La réalisatrice Amandine Gay... Fox News During The Civil Rights Movement. Posted on June 1, 2009 in Political Cartoons See Also: Thoughts on FOX.

Black history in the US

Pause image : Strange Fruit, Billie Holiday. Lincoln et la fin de l'esclavage aux Etats-Unis. La réélection de Lincoln, en 1864, candidat du parti Républicain, se traduisit par l’abolition de l’esclavage aux États-unis.

Lincoln et la fin de l'esclavage aux Etats-Unis

Le parti Républicain aux Etats-Unis a été fondé à la veille de guerre civile, pour contrer les Whigs et les Démocrates qui dans leur majorité soutenait l’esclavage. C’est le premier paradoxe par rapport à l’époque actuelle.

Les Démocrates étaient en majorité sudistes et désignèrent pour l’élection présidentielle de 1860, un esclavagiste notoire. Il y eu également un troisième candidat.

Chronologie de l'esclavage aux États-Unis

Augmentation phénoménale de la traite des esclaves, tous des Africains kidnappés. L'État du Massachusetts adopte une première loi anti-esclavage. La Grande-Bretagne abolit la traite des esclaves. Les États-Unis considèrent désormais la traite (la vente) des esclaves et le kidnapping d'Africains comme un acte de piraterie (donc passible de mort), mais n'abolissent pas l'esclavage. L'esclavage est officiellement aboli dans les États du Nord. Adoption de la «Black Law» au Connecticut: elle interdit l'enseignement aux Noirs, mais surtout, elle stipule qu'un esclave qui a réussi à fuir le Sud pour venir vivre dans le Nord des États-Unis doit être remis à ses maîtres s'il est capturé.
