I wanna talk about the "starving kids in Africa." You ever heard that?
Where it came from?
Why everybody says it?
Growing up, our parents told us to finish our food because of the "starving kids in Africa." But how could we know?
We're way over here ๐ค

my thing is, black history has never existed in a vacuum and black people throughout the diaspora have always worked alongside one another and exchanged ideas/culture. ive never been one for diaspora wars and think part of the issue is people have different definitions of black (i.e. af am)

Carter G. Woodsonโs Pan-African Vision
In response to the latest discourse over whether or not Black History Month celebrations in the United States should include the historiesโฆ
i hear you and i don't think there's anything wrong with BAs (or any black people) wanting to specifically recognize things related to their nationality/region. when it comes to BHM, i'm reminded of this article about the founder's international perspectives dwomowale.medium.com/carter-g-woo...

Thank you! Yeah, my undergrad weighed A+ as 4.33 but my job doesn't, so I was very confused when students mentioned it

Same. I told them I'm not changing anything this semester but I'll take it into consideration for the future. If the + is just for decoration, that's a nonstarter lol but if it actually has an impact, that's different
