Feb 9: Education

Q: Why do Black kids not do well in school, or in subjects like Math and Science?

A: This is only true in extremely racist countries. A racist person cannot teach a Black child effectively. It's not race. It's racism.

There is no such thing as a high crime neighborhood.

The entire concept is made up.

Feb 5: Abraham Lincoln

👴🏻"Why do some Black people say that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist?"

👴🏿"Because Abraham Lincoln said that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist. We just agree with him. Lincoln got angry if you suggested he wasn't a white supremacist"

You let racists define high school and university curricula, so now you have to learn Black history one typo at a time from me.

Your loss! Teachers are nice and kind, and have to worry about teacher reviews and RateMyProfessor.

Me though? I don't care.🤷🏿‍♂️

But this isn't Black history. This is white history: the history of racism in this country.

I see people trying to make sense of what's happening in the world today, without a basic understanding of US racism. That's an impossible task.

Learning about US racism is mandatory for understanding this.

Happy US Black History Month! In my humble opinion the best way to celebrate us is to pay us. It's time for a #ReparationsThread babee ☺️

Black folks (across the diaspora!!) reply with your cash app, venmo, ko-fi, fedi fund ask, GoFundMe, etc if you like.

Others boost and donate!

eta: quite a few responses in the thread today! pls take a minute to look through and donate within your means.
