Why parents need to talk to their kids, and celebrate, Black History Month
>Preparation for tough times is nothing new to parents of color, especially black parents. Through the centuries, we've had to continue parenting through enslavement, lynchings and segregation. Now, we continue to do so through police brutality, wealth inequality, mass incarceration.
>Black parents have developed networks, cultural customs and celebrations that teach black children both their history and their role through all of this. To be a black parent is to be on edge, anxiously waiting as long as possible to inform your children they must navigate a world that never intended for them to succeed. Black parents will never have the opportunity to opt out the fight for justice.
>Historically, Black History Month has been seen as an opportunity for black youth to focus on the power and lineage from which we hail. It is true, black Americans' accomplishments have been long overlooked in this nation. But that isn't new information to black Americans - a quick conversation with our grandparents on the cost of integrating the education system will tell that story.

Teach your black kids about the Haitian revolution, about how the free coloreds didn't want to end slavery, instead working deals that would see them as the new master

Mandela giving a speech at the ANC in full fatigues and a rifle on his back is one of the only images that I've found that has been completely scrubbed from the internet.
You can find the original picture in the picture section in the middle of his Long Walk to Freedom biography.

White British Christians gave the impetus to end slavery. Half a mil wypipo died to free the niggers from slavery. They have to go back.

I seriously see nothing wrong with blacks wanting to look at their history just as whites should be able to be proud for their own history.
