Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
Still not talking about Black History. Still talking about white US History.
The US *loves* soldiers and veterans! Virtuous! Service! 🇺🇲🦅
The US *hates* homeless people. Lazy! Dirty! Want a handout!
But... ~1 in every 20 US homeless folk is a Black or hispanic veteran. 🤷🏿♂️
In the USA, the phrase "support our troops!" is a euphemism that does mean military jingoism, but doesn't mean supporting all of our troops.

Feb 6: Veterans
If serving the country and being willing to die for it could earn Black people treatment as full citizens, it would have happened a long time ago.🤷🏿♂️
In a racist country, Black people are likely to serve in the military, then wind up homeless afterwards.
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
Still not talking about Black history. Still talking about white US history.
Q: Why do so many Black folk call Abraham Lincoln a white supremacist? He freed the slaves! Why don't Black folk have pictures of Lincoln up in their house? Are they ungrateful?
A: Because Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist, and one of the worst kinds. He was an "I know Black folk aren't inferior, but hey man, it's an 'us or them' thing, and I choose us to be in the superior position."

👴🏻"Why do some Black people say that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist?"
👴🏿"Because Abraham Lincoln said that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist. We just agree with him. Lincoln got angry if you suggested he wasn't a white supremacist"
