It’s that time of year again, Black History Month. This was my post for the past two years, when too many white folks were up in arms about critical race theory–that thing they know absolutely nothing about. Since then, it’s only gotten worse, with actual African American Studies and history under siege from the forces of Mordor. If not that, then assaults on DEI, Black academics, probably Black puppies and umbrellas next. So I figured, why change the theme, since we’re still stuck in the same continuum. Enjoy the three-peat.
