Trump’s going to have a tantrum
When is white history month?
White history month is every month. Especially in the summer when we take long, luxurious vacations costing trillions of dollars.
It would be so nice for people from every country which was part of the Soviet Union to have a month in which they are celebrated along with their cultures.
