It's Black History Month β a time for the Nation to acknowledge the gifts and contributions that Black Americans have given this country. They say laughter is healing medicine, and for Black folks, it's one of the most easily accessible forms of therapy.
Black people will literally laugh at anything & everything! We will laugh at nothing. Even if the joke is not that funny. What black people will do... is laugh! It's our nature. Laughter is definitely our medicine.
