   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.
