#but also why does this 6YO understand intersectionality better than some adults i know?

[whowhowhoareyou]

as we kick off black history month, please allow me to share these absolute bangers from the 6-year-old of the family I clean for:

6YO: It's hard to be a girl. And it's hard to be a black girl. Because that's, like, two things.

-

6YO: When was MLK arrested?

Mom: Well, which time?

6YO: When he was alive.

-

6YO: I'm white, right?

Mom: Yes.

6YO: So is dad black?

Mom: Mm, no.

6YO: ...Not even a little bit?

-

6YO: Who's the woman who wouldn't move on the bus?

Mom: You mean Rosa Parks?

6YO: ...Could she have sat in the middle?
