Also unable to fathom history through anything besides political action and electoralism apparently. Like there were plenty of historical moments for black women, they were just a part of social movements, rather than a weird ceremony. It's the weird mindset that history isn't a process of social forces, but rather a collection of pub trivia facts about "important" people and events. It made me think of how there's a one liner for the cause of WWI being defence treaties and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, when the causes were more complicated and span several decades.
It's great how American libs are completely unable to fathom that other countries exist
