Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I still haven't made it to Black history yet. I'm still on white US history.

Q: Why is it OK for Black folk to like the Black Panthers, but white folk can't like the klan? Black supremacy is just as bad as white supremacy! Why the double standard?

A: Black folk know white US history, so they know that the Black Panthers were not Black supremacists.

(At this point, half of the Black folk reading this just involuntarily said "COINTELPRO!" out loud).

1/N

@mekkaokereke I was fortunate enough to have two Black Panthers as teachers in college (Oakland). They were awesome people. My sociology class in particular was brain destroying in a good way. Huey Newtons brother was the teacher.

I'm still unpacking stuff I learned from that class decades later.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for the Black Panthers.
