re: asking a question as a white person about whats appropriate for me to do during black history month
@daylight I think, as my own black person, that discussing, and even trying to educate and share information should be done by those who have it to those who don't, regardless of skin color. I for one don't think learned about any specific slave revolt and I certainly never heard of the one you want to talk about.
Intent counts for a lot. Intent doesn't _excuse_ bad/problematic behavior, but providing context is never a bad thing, IMO.
