abagond: There should be a White History Month in America. That way we can teach all about the things White Americans have done in history, like: Cherokee Trail of Tears Japanese American internment Philippine-American War Jim Crow The genocide of Native Americans Transatlantic slave trade The Middle Passage The history of White American racism Black Codes Slave patrols Ku Klux Klan The War on Drugs Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo How white racism grew out of slavery and genocide How whites still benefit from slavery and genocide White anti-racism The Southern strategy The rape of black slave women CORE Madison Grant The Indian Wars Human zoos How the Jews became white White flight Redlining Proposition 14 Homestead Act Tulsa Riots Rosewood massacre Tuskegee Experiment Lynching Hollywood stereotypes Indian Appropriations Acts Immigration Act of 1924 Sundown towns Chinese Exclusion Act Emmett Till Vincent Chin Islamophobia Indian boarding schools King Philip’s War Bacon’s Rebellion American slavery compared to Arab, Roman and Latin American slavery History of the gun History of the police History of prisons History of white suburbia Lincoln’s racism and anti-racism George Wallace Fox News Cointelpro Real estate steering School tracking Mass incarceration of black men Boston school busing riots And so on. No fear of running out of topics: there is more than one a day! I am sure my commenters can come up with tons more, probably some big ones that are not coming to mind at the moment (I did not list slavery, the abolitionist movement, the civil war, Reconstruction or Lincoln since they are, in fact, covered in history class, however poorly).

chaos-mayhem:

I want to crawl around inside your brain and listen to every thought you never had the courage to say. I want to drink in your poetry and curl up in your writing. I want to visit the dustiest corners of your soul and breathe life back into them.
