Did Ivanka just make #BlackHistoryMonth about ALL Americans? What is wrong with her? Plus, did she use "sojourners" in the correct context 🤔

OMG! I was about to say that! Leave it to the Trumps to find a way to take any focus away from a minority. Next they will say Blacks are doing so good, they no longer need a month of acknowledgment.

Are you serious? Do you know who your dad is? I’m interested in what you’ll say when it’s Hispanic heritage month.
