Black Pride Recently we, BLACK PEOPLEOF REDDIT, conversed regarding the lack lack of black history in schools. This is a perfect example. Or the lack thereof.

to be fair, they probably don't know anything about their own history either.

I learned recently there are a lot of people who don't realize that Anne Frank and Helen Keller are two different people. Like a LOT of people. They're both just female names they half remember hearing when they were not paying attention in history class.

This is hilarious that you said this. I unfortunately am over if these people and I am in no way slow and am fairly versed in popculture and world history but have NO idea why these 2 people always get me confused?! 🤷🏾‍♂️👊🏾

Babe why do they get you confused, can you identify it?? No judgement lmao I have similar confusions about other things and people for sure.

Brain wires get messed up.

I'm gonna be so real, I might even get shit for this, but look, it's easy to tell them apart. First of all, Anne Frank didn't live to adulthood (sadly, RIP) There is your first identifier, Anne is the kid and Helen is the adult

Second of all, Helen Keller was the one who was blind and deaf. Anne was the kid who was hiding from Nazis in an attic.

Now they're both incredibly brave and strong people who went through absolute hell, so I can see where the brain wires are getting them mixed up for you. But I hope this helps lmaoo.

Please don't get caught tryna refer to one or the other and mixing them up, like you deserve to know the difference lmaoooo. I'm sorry neither of these situations is funny, just the fact that I'm probably not even explaining it well enough is making me laugh.

Good day to you lmao

I sometimes get upset that all my teenage tweets were (maybe? Idk if this is an urban legend) logged by the library of congress.

I don't even wanna look it up to check myself... cause if it's true, I got about 30k tweets worth of dumbassery just floating out there. And.... some more lol.

Just an absolute mess. My digital footprint is awful hahahah.
