Ok everyone, remember way back in junior high/ high school during those boring World History or US History classes, on that first day our teachers told us why we study history: it was so that we didn't repeat it. Right? can I get a Allejuah or an AMEN.
Well everyone i hate to break it ya, but history has been repeating itself MANY times, it has just taken on a different form and manifested a different country/city. The back story to this is when i was reading the new today: on BBC news, they say a region of people from China called Uighurs were protesting against the Chinese police. Why? Well, to my understanding people, mostly the men, have been mysterely "dissaperaing," but the people of Uighur believe the government has been taking them. So in defiance the women of the town got together and this is what happens:
He says riot police - armed with rifles and tear gas - charged the women and surrounded them. But they sat on the ground in defiance of orders from policemen to disperse.
He says the protesters finally began leaving as the journalists were ushered away from the area.
But policemen were waiting in the side streets, he said, and it was unclear what had happened to the women.
Do you know waht this reminds me of?
Wel, I did a lot of studying in college about the Dirty War and 'Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo' in Argentina in the 1970's
