This is about how not to celebrate Black History Month.

one more week left!

1. Do not tell that "February is the shortest month of the year" joke. Everybody knows the joke. So stop. Hell, I'd take just one week for Black History if that meant classrooms would actually teach more than just Dr. King and Rosa Parks - as if my history just began in 1964. But I guess for white America my history did begin in 1964…I digress to say that the joke - much like my public school education - is stale. Move on.

2. Do not serve fried chicken and watermelon in school cafeterias to celebrate Black History Month.

This is the consensus to "the black girl thing".

To my very huge and dramatic surprise, no one said anything.
But the large number of views on This is about the "black girl" thing., however, was a surprise.

This is about the "black girl" thing.

Twitter keeps it real, but that doesn't mean people don't tweet some dumb ish. I've written enough about the discrimination against black girls, but hopefully this vlog will wrap up my arguments...for some time anyway. Listen to this crap, then hit me up with your comments. There will be no progress until we start talking...and there will be no end to my whining until there's progress. Hahaaaa! But really though.

This is about what happened at the Black History Month Kickoff.

You all know that white person who just loves to act a fool around black people. Or maybe you are that white person. This kid was caught a few times dancing from the sidelines, so we called him up for possibly the only time in his life that he will be performing in front of a black audience with four black ladies back up dancing for him.
It didn't last long, but I enjoyed it.
Happy White People Wednesday!
