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

sourcedumal:

jamaican-supremacist:

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.

Nah b that’s when festival pops off
Jamaican independence
All the puerto ricans shoving banderas in yuppie faces
Its too beautiful to sully with that
Do it in July. Just cuz.

And let us not forget Black Wall Street, intense speaking about how the white controlled government allowed the Tuskeegee Experiments, the Guatemalan experiments, the Mississippi Appendectomies, the framing of Marcus Garvey by the FBI and the deaths of Huey P Newton and Malcolm X.
