For My Black History Month Reparations

[amarie24]

I want ya'll white folk to send me on an all-expenses-paid, week-long, round-trip holiday to Wakanda.

I already have an automatic visa because I'm black-ya'll just gotta deal with the paper and lemme know when you're done.

It'd be the best Black History Month present ever!!! :P

If I could, I'd send you there. I bet T'Challa and Shuri would love you.

[amarie24]

Oh, thanks darling friend! I definitely wanna hang out in T'Challa's office and Shuri's lab! Then, after lunch, I wanna go down to the River Tribe and learn how to swim from Nakia! :D :D

Legit ask. I'm not sure where I get the customs forms, though.

[amarie24]

-le gasp- Silver! You know where to get them: your local Wakandan International Outreach Center! It's run by Princess Nakia and other members of the River Tribe!

You just walk in, show them your ID, and let them know you're here to give a friend of yours her Black History Month reparations, yep, yep!

[silveradept]

Ah, okay. That'll mean a trip to $NOT_LOCAL_METROPOLIS_AT_ALL, because hell forbid anyone here actually let Wakandans have outreach near them. They'd rather fawn over some terrible techbro than let anything useful get in.

[amarie24]

Oohhh, shoot! Well then, in that case? It's a Wakandan center, so I do think they have an option where you can do it all online at no extra cost to you!

All you gotta do is put in your zip code to get access and start, LOLOL!

[silveradept]

Oh, good. Last I had seen, they were still standing it up and having to fend off all the attempts at taking them back offline. If the application works, I should be able to help with that, then.

[amarie24]

Don't worry-it's Wakandan technology, so it's super duper strong, friend!! :D :D

Your application should go thru pretty seamlessly, I bet! :P

[silveradept]

It likely will.

I like the idea of giving out presents to black people for Black History Month. This should actually be a thing, on the individual and societal levels. ^^;

[amarie24]

D'aaaw, you mean it?! That'd be extra, super duper nice for sure!!

[jewelfox]

Absolutely!

Plus swear jars for every time someone says "But why don't we have a WHITE History Month?!"

EDIT: With that in mind, is there anything small you'd like us to get you? We've really appreciated your updates and support, and we are still "benefitting" from white privilege as of right now. ^^;

[amarie24]

Yes!! Swear jars, swear jars, swear jars!!!!

And each instance is worth $1500!!! Nyahahaha!!!

And aww, no, darling-there's no need for you to get me anything. Your friendship & your happiness is more than enough and greatly appreciated! Thank you so much, tho, sweetheart! :D :D

[jewelfox]

Aw, thanks. ^^ And you're welcome!

This is a good idea, and I've seen people using it elsewhere on the internet. Parts of the spec fic community go with Black Future Month, and it fits even better with that, IMO.

[amarie24]

"Black Future Month"? OMFG, that sounds ultra awesome!!!
