Most are doing "it wrong" because they don't want the smoke...
Or are just Cowards.
Or worse 'passively' grants them opportunities.
The Smithsonian resignation and loss, describing him being forced out due to racism is the subheading..
#Whitewashing #History in 48pt. is the headline.

#1619Project
For once, Trump rightfully gets the blame in most of the headlines about how his outrageous meddling at the Smithsonian led to the resignation of Lonnie Bunch. But if you aren't also linking this to Trump's effort to erase Black history, you are doing it wrong. Trump is whitewashing history.

2/2 The historical roots of the racism behind so much of our country's founding, forming, foundations & foundational documents, as well as approaches/compromises to sticky turning-point issues between then & now... really truly eye opening for most of us raised in US public education.

#DearWhitePeople:

TBH Y'all never really have.
Black Historians & writers have historically done just that:
paint the bigots as the losers they are: #1619Project & countless other publications, etc.
That DC Metro photo represents their response.
Along w/ the indifference of their enablers.

Misplaced belief in Privilege and adjacency.
You have to look at the demographics that are involved and those feel their privilege protects them.
It won't.

BLM was @ ALL of our liberties.
Jan 6th, the response..
The #1619Project was @ truth, #Project2025 erasure.

Welcome to Jim Crow 2.0.
Gerrymandering as a re-imagined form of segregation.
Creating impediments to Political access, destroying poll oversight, inserting misinformation..All have been systematically executed by the GOP as tools to disenfranchise Black Americans.
Based on Race.

NEW: The Southern Poverty Law Center has spent the past 50 years as one of the nation’s most critical bulwarks against the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups.

By going after them, it is clear who the Trump administration supports in the fight against white nationalism.

Harvard hired a researcher to uncover its ties to slavery. He says the results cost him his job: ‘We found too many slaves’

When the extent of the university’s involvement with slavery was unearthed, a scholar tracking descendants of enslaved workers was suddenly fired
