    I’d be cool with White History Month as long as the following topics are discussed.

    sapphrikah:

    ghdos:

    • The Middle Passage
    • The Trail of Tears and genocide of Native Americans
    • Jim Crow
    • How the prison system is set up to keep black and brown people in a cycle of poverty
    • Japanese Internment camps

    Let’s do it in August. There are no other major holidays so the focus can be all on white people plus it’s nice and warm outside. Cookouts and fireworks for all.

    I am ALL FOR THIS.
