Black History Month

My friend who is living in London and completing her PhD at LSE saw these in Walgreens recently. On the one hand, one could say that this was unconscious racism; on the other this was probably an oversight and a thoughtless, inconsiderate act rather than a malicious one. Slavery, racism, apartheid - these are travesties that ravage human history, and recent ones, too. They are also fresh wounds for some people on a daily basis. In the spirit of Black History month, let us work on challenging and vanquishing our prejudices, but also on vanquishing thoughtlessness and inconsideration.
