The woke library, soon to be the broke library.
What? Couldn’t get “Mein Kampf” there?
Not likely, check your TRIM notice.
I recommend Libby, great online Library access!
Newspapers, magazines, audiobooks and ebooks.
You’re paying for it so use it.
Libby is an excellent way to use the library if you’re OK reading digital copies. I am and they have current best sellers and older books as well as access to magazines. It costs nothing for users, but of course you need a library card, an easy get.
Notice its always the women and not the men talking about Black History. Pay attention, who suffered worse the men, who get to tell the stories, the women.
Another commentor here who has unresolved problems with women. Therer’s help for that.
Care to articulate? Or was that just off the cuff?
The question is why has the black male been left out of black history and black history month?
Why are the only ones who get to speak always the women?
That’s a fair question.
You’re obviously not looking!

Use Libby!
Ibrahm x Kendi is a joke. His anti racism research was bogus. Once he was found to be a fraud he grabbed his paycheck and ran. He attempted to destroy the military with his fresh woke ideas with nothing to back up his BS. He could NOT even define his own lodgic. All his bafooning was simply racism in a new direction. He was a joke when he was at UF also.
“Yasmin is the recipient of the 2020 Eleanor Taylor Bland Award for Emerging Writers of Color.”
Wow! Sounds like a real position of ‘privilege’ even with it’s own category too!
Great catch Lou,
Notice who always gets the privilege during this month, its never the men.
Or the community, its the women.
Has anyone noticed that it used to be the “black community” and now the Women are their own entity separate from the community?
