I had previously known about maybe half of these, but seeing it on a graphic floored me so I decided to look in to the various death tolls. I took the higher figures in every instance because we all know old racist white folk would do whatever they could to minimize the heinous actions of their white communities. It’s also worth noting that for most massacres, they are typically listed as riots (IMO a racially charged word because of right-wing right media); and a lot of them have 10x as many injured than killed which I omitted those figures for brevity. A (very small) handful of the deaths were white people defending their black brethren, and so I also included those in the figures.

Let this history never be forgotten nor white washed (more than it already has).

The Damsel of the Sanct Grael, 1874, Dante Gabriel Rossetti

A kitten will always be kitten for a mother. 

1. That is a very strong animal. If it wanted her to put it down, there is no way she would be holding it.

2. The position of the ears shows relaxation.

3. Nibbling at hair is how horses show affection. In a herd, they nibble at the base of each other’s manes (the very best way to pet a horse is to scratch the base of the mane about halfway down the neck). With a human they like they go for the hair as the closest equivalent.

So, yes, horse is enjoying cuddles.
