@jordantalexander: I am not “coming for” @The History Gossip, I am shining an important yet hurtful light on an aspect of the history of #marriage in the U.S. #jumpingthebroom is a powerful act of love, joy and defiance in a time in which the right to love and be able to get married was withheld. This is apart of #africanamericanculture that is so sacred. I was so happy to experience it for myself as a black woman from the south marrying a black man also from the south. Please make sure to handle this history and knowledge with care. Especially during these times in #americanhistory.

The fact that her page is named history gossip as if history is some fantastical story or rumor that is entertaining…it’s traumatic truth and should be regarded with respect

I really cannot stand when white people feel the need to get on the Internet during BHM and tell our history. Just STFU

You got me thinking….are they taught about all this in the UK? I would assume not as much but at all even?

I think on a foundational level, people don’t know the active role white women played in slavery, specifically the suffering of black women. This should be spoken about by black communities only imo

isn’t that part of why generationally fathers tend to deadbeats? on the plantation kids constantly be taken away and it hurt less if you didn’t build a bond with them.correct me if wrong

History Gossip as an account infuriates me as a historian. A lot of what she says is very misinformed, untrue and often watered down. Slavery shouldn’t be trivialized into pop history, “gossip.”

history gossip has been deleting my comments, she’s a prime example that education does not equal intelligence

What does „jumping the broom“ mean? I never heard that before. English isn’t my first language. 🥹 I heard about most of it before, especially the degrading part to assure the family can stay together. It goes so deep and then even deeper. 💔

Pruitt and Igoe was in the 50’s. That was like the “experiment” of government housing in STL. No husbands allowed. It taught me so much about systemic oppression
