The proposal will establish a new appointed panel to lay out a 12-month history program for the city. Some of the potential themes include “the Revolutionary and Civil War” month in August and “Black Gold Jubilee – Honoring the Discovery of Oil” month in November.

Right so no black history month, no women’s history month… instead celebrate the civil war and oil. So fucking stupid.

Edit: I posit that this type of shit is the real Identity Politics. AKA the politics of denying identity outside of your own.

Turns out saying you're "color blind" is actually quite privileged and ignorant.

its moving it from the history of humans to the history of capitalization

how dare we not celebrate money and all its forms
