To celebrate the last day of black history month on Monday, Twitter started the hashtag #WhitePeopleInvitedToTheCookout, which highlighted our fictional and factual white allies.

I love the hashtag #WhitePeopleInvitedToTheCookout bc it proves u can invite NPOC into our culture without deeming them “black” all the time
