After reading a lot on the topic and actually recalling. I have two sisters who are in unmarked graves. Not everyone gets a tombstone for ones grave. Back in the early twentieth century children would die from diseases, like influenza, scarlet fever, tuberculosis. Only the white people who had enough money to pay for the grave stone got a grave stone. A quick search reveals a gravestone to cost $1,000. During the great depression it might have been difficult to scrounge enough money to pay for this when you know you're not going to really get any enjoyment out of it. Most people studying in school don't plan beyond ten years and often discount the possibility of early mortality. Graves often were and are marked with wooden crosses which rot over time.

Children were not treated so much as multi-generational long term investments for your future family tree. They were sent to other people's houses to work to bring in money for the parents. This way the more children you had, the more wealthy you could be rather than the other way around like it is today... at least in most of the west.

We have seen #antiwhite and #antichristian propaganda before. One should see it for what it is. The communist playbook is to try to create division and hatred among their 'enemy' and that's regular folks of all colors. What do you think the use of #blacklivesmatter? Doesn't that phrase imply that the consensus is lives don't matter when the people who die are black? Why not say ourlivesmatter?
