Thanksgiving means, mom’s mac and cheese, grandma’s collards, and a few hours avoiding eye contact with that one aunt who’s always asking when you’re getting married!
The holiday is a proud American tradition but in Black families it has it’s own special spin, and Black Twitter is all over it.
#ThanksgivingWithBlackFamilies has been trending for the coming holiday weekend and it’s just a hilarious as it sounds.
These tweets will make you laugh so hard you’ll choke up sweet potato pie!
