Things no one should ever have to tell a child

witchsistah:

blahblahblather:

no matter how smart,

how talented,

and no matter how hard you work

there are going to be people who will not only not like you, but will actively stand in the way of your dreams

just because you are black.

Things no one should ever have to tell a child but things parents of Black children MUST tell our kids if we don’t want them insane, homicidal or suicidal.

White people, I have decided to answer your prayers. It’s such a great injustice that there isn’t a special month dedicated to all the amazing things white people have accomplished throughout history. Like Black History Month, I’m going to be using this month to highlight the accomplishments of white people not normally highlighted during the regular academic year.
August seems like a fitting time for White History Month, so you can get your daily dose of white pride in before school starts up again.
Some of the topics we’ll be covering on the syllabus include:
Columbus and the conquistadorsEuropean antisemitism, antiziganism, pogroms and the HolocaustThe triangle trade and slavery in the British Empire & U. S.Lynching and Jim CrowThe invention of gynecology, the Tuskegee experiment, Mississippi appendectomiesSouth African apartheidKing Leopold and the Belgian CongoThe Chinese Immigration Act/Chinese Exclusion Act and the head taxJapanese-American/Japanese-Canadian internmentResidential schools, Indian boarding schoolsStolen GenerationsThe Philippine-American WarThe Iran-Contra affairEmbargoes against HaitiCecil Rhodes and his legacy“White flight” and gentrification“First wave” suffragists and raceCOINTELPROThe crack epidemicthe War on DrugsExclusionary aspects of the GI BillExclusionary aspects of labor unions
And so much more. 
Here’s hoping you stick with us throughout this month and leave us as much feedback as possible. 

We can throw on Mérida Plan, Bracero Program, Operation Wetback, SB1070, HR4437, Arizona’s Cultural Genocide Program, and so on and so on….
What really makes me giggle over the annual one month-outcry of WHY DON’T WE HAVE WHITE HISTORY MONTH?????? is when you hear it. the ONLY time you hear it. and why is that? there is no yearly organizing by white folks to have a month dedicated to glorifying them—on top of the other 12 months we already have in place for just such a purpose. There is no petition drive, no heartfelt committee meetings…just a bunch of crying during February about it.
And then, in March, those cries fall silent. Only to arise next February.
I wonder why that is.

Negro Translation

witchsistah:

“Sound too much like right”—That seems very logical and plausible, but, taking into account the arbitrariness and contrariness of human nature, your average person will not heed that information.
