Donald Trump, our country’s “least racist person,” was scrolling through Twitter today, and decided, You know what, African American History Month was short and a long time ago, and everyone keeps talking about all the things I’m doing wrong … how can I make everyone like me again?

Getting over his hurt feelings about what T.I. thinks about him, Trump got out his signing pen and, following an Obama-era tradition, officially made June African American Music Appreciation Month. 

“Now, therefore, I, Donald J. Trump,” the official White House proclamation reads, “President of the United States of America, by the virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution,” and you know it’s serious business if he’s invoking the Constitution, “And the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2017 as African American Music Appreciation Month.”

The proclamation also cites “Berry, Gillespie, Fitzgerald and other African American musicians” as “examples of how music can bring us together.” The document did not clarify whether or not Trump can name those musicians’ songs, or even who they are at all.

Black music “has so often captured the hardships of racism and injustices suffered by African Americans,” the proclamation states, but did not mention whether black music is expected to flourish under the Trump administration for that very reason.

African American Music Appreciation Month isn't quite as well known or as widely celebrated as Black History Month. You many wonder just what to do to celebrate.

If you think we ought to just listen to the radio, Donald Trump thinks that’s not enough.

“I call upon public officials, educators and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate activities and programs that raise awareness and appreciation of African American music.”

So, there you go. Just go and do that.

And what’s the response to this glorious proclamation been? You already know, but we’ll share a few tweets:

So yeah, happy African American Music Appreciation Month. Or whatever it is you're supposed to say.
