Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! I still haven't made it to Black history yet. I'm still on white US history. Q: Not everything is racism! E.g. Black folk die young because of high BMI from their bad diets! That's on y'all! Don't hate on Lululemon leggings or khaki pants! Hate yourself! We're only trying to help you! How is this racism? A: Black people in the UK have higher BMI than white people, and live *longer* than white people.🙂🙃 BMI is racist, and used to justify racism. 1/N #BlackMastodon

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! You know the drill by now. I don't like talking about Black history. Americans know Black history. I want to talk about white American history. In other words, racism, and the erasure of both positive achievements of, and injustices suffered by, non-white people. That's what people don't know. Try this: Ask your white US friends what the statue of liberty celebrates. Now ask your Black friends. Or French folk of any color An abolitionist designed the statue. A group of abolitionists paid for the statue. There's a plaque at the feet telling everyone what it's for. They named it the Statue of Liberty. It's arguably the largest anti-racism monument in the US, and the most recognizable anti-racism monument in the world... Except people don't even know it's an anti-racism monument. They think it celebrates the huge influx of white immigrants from Europe that came to the US. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/109789295728917242#

Happy Black History Month although black history month is coming to an end, it’s important that we continue to honor the contributions and lived experiences of Black individuals and communities. I want to highlight a black social worker, who has helped shape our profession. Dr. Dorothy I. Height; educator, social worker, and civil rights strategist who understood that service alone was never enough. #BlackHistoryMonth 🤎✨

Before February wraps up, I figured it'd be a good time—#blackHistoryMonth—to share some thoughts I had put together in a #blogpost when I read "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee: https://jcornejo.com/2025/07/14/re-to-kill-a-mockingbird/
