One of the bigger changes I& #39;d like to see take place in this country is elementary/middle school curriculums. Fact that an enormous part of our country is just waking up to what Juneteenth/Tulsa Race massacre are sheds light on how these things aren& #39;t even mentioned in classrooms

Even in the most diverse districts, key parts of black history -- American history -- are just completely ignored. You either have to have had family who& #39;s lived through it, have an instructor who cares enough to teach it to you, or be industrious on your own to learn the stuff.

Somewhat separate: I remember talking with a white friend of mine who I& #39;ve known since I was 5. He watched Get Out, and said he didn& #39;t like it much, bc of how ridiculous one concept was: He thought the part w the brain transplant was absolutely crazy.

Allowed me to open up a conversation with him about how black people were used as guinea pigs without their knowledge or consent by white doctors and scientists for a long time. Told him to read up on Henrietta Lacks. He thought I was completely joking, bc he& #39;d never heard abt it
