SOME WHERE OUT THERE ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE US--AFROGEEKS: BLACK PEOPLE WHO LOVE BUFFY AND STARS WARS, WHO HAVE THEIR OWN FOLDER AT THE COMIC BOOK SHOP, WHO THOUGHT LIVING COLOUR (THE BAND, NOT THE SHOW) WAS THE BOMB, WHO ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THE BLACK ELVES WERE IN D&D. AND NOW WE HAVE KIDS.

Dear World
I appreciate that you are excited about black people. It is February after all. I also appreciate that you want to include me in your excitement. It is part of my job as the director of an African American Studies program.
But could you see fit to spread some of that enthusiasm to other parts of the year? Trying to learn everything you can about black people in 28 days is a tall order, an impossible one even. Plus, I'm exhausted.
So let's make a deal. Save some of that enthusiasm for March or April or October even. And I promise to help you out.
Sincerely
(An incredibly tired) Conseula
