heyitsbrandon: deeesire: fabulescent: This make you uncomfortable? Why? Black history IS U.S. history. And the struggle hasn’t been pretty. This picture is only 75 years old. How many of your grandparents are 75? Don’t fear the past and don’t ignore it. Learn. Grow. Love. Together. I hate when people say it’s in the past. 75 yrs, that’s one life span. And people still get lynched today, let’s not pretend that shit don’t happen.  It’s not the fact that this picture is what it resembles…it’s the fact its so recent.
