Ivanka Trump’s Disingenuous Black History Month Tweet
Nope. Naw. HELL nah.
February is Black History Month. February is also the time of year when undercover racists have to put on a public performance to bolster their reputation as melanin lovers.
Enter first daughter Ivanka Trump. The semi-incestuous apple of Donnie’s eye took to Twitter yesterday, at 5:45 pm, to rhapsodically whitesplain the meaning of Black History Month…
During #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate heroes like Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who were sojourners for freedom – and we resolve to continue to bring greater equality, dignity, and opportunity to all Americans, regardless of race or background.

Let’s unpack this a bit, shall we?
Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were not fighting for the freedom of “all Americans”, you can’t “all lives matter” BLACK history month. Those three heroes were fighting for the disenfranchised…Black and brown people. Words mean things. Don’t be ambiguous where specificity is the subject.
Now, let’s talk about these “sojourners for freedom” that Ivanka mentioned. We’re pretty sure Ivanka has NO idea what “sojourner” means. On the off chance that she reads this post, here it is as defined by Merriam-Webster:
As a noun
:a temporary stay, a sojourn in the country
As a verb
:to stay as a temporary resident : stop, sojourned for a month at a resort
So, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Park and Martin Luther King, Jr. were “temporary stays for freedom”?
Just say “I don’t give a s#!t about Black History Month” and go about your day, ma’am. SMH.
The slander on Twitter is as sweet as ya diabetic grandmama’s tea. Flip it over to have a laugh.
Your dad is a racist that thinks White Supremacists are very fine people.
You are complicit.
So thanks for your tweet, but honestly, you can keep that shit for yourself.
Your whole family is going to jail, chica. pic.twitter.com/SOI3wvJwVw

Ivanka is the epitome of the "nice master" who may not have beat her slaves or assumed she did not treated them unjustly; just that they were not human like her deserving of freedom and turned a blind eye while the atrocities she felt not guilty of still happened. COMPLICIT! https://t.co/978GtzYJev

Did Ivanka just make #BlackHistoryMonth about ALL Americans? What is wrong with her? Plus, did she use "sojourners" in the correct context 🤔

ALL Americans? No this is "Black History Month" for a reason. One of them is to assist with correcting the false narrative of true history of black Americans contributions, lives, culture skewed by majority white media for 100's of years. And now continues by your Grand Old Dad

Oh please. Your Dad is destroying this country and you sit back and watch it happen. You have no right speaking such honorable names. Stop Ivanka
