Zone1 February is Black History Month: 20 Years Ago This Month I Met Some of the Last Remaining Tuskegee Airmen at the Boeing Museum of Flight

Go ahead. Honor whatever you like. Identity days and months are no longer officially recognized. Every month is some kind of heritage month. It needs to stop.

And that is very sad and sick ! Are the presidents Day gone too ?

Why does your avatar say "Black Fathers Matter"?

Because I live in a jurisdiction that has been mostly black for forty years and I worked in the school system here for 11 years and what I learned through experience is that the source of our local demise rests with the depletion of the black family structure. Most specifically, boys without fathers.
I predicted 35 years ago that if this dynamic didn’t change, black females would surpass black males in terms of academic and professional success. The result of girls having moms but boys not having dads.
I hope that answers your question.

I agree every month being some sort of divisive identity month is very sad and sick.

OMG you can't be serious. Tell me how respecting people that are different from.ypu hurts you. Only if you're a total bigot.

Show me the law, rule or regulation that keeps you from respecting anyone.

Good will towards all , equality under the law. Pretending people don't exist doesn't help anyone. It hurts US all.

Eliminating identity months hurts no one. If we were all Americans that's the way it would be again.

Do you actually believe it promotes unity and well-being for our society. It clearly doesn't , it's myopic and selfish. The world is big enough for everyone in it. No one needs to be left out.

Again ? You mean a white Christian society that marginalizes everyone who is different. That's what you want to go back to ? It was great for whites , bad for everyone else. Those Christians didn't stop there , they attacked Catholics And other Christians. There was no domestic peace. Just horrible silence in the face of all that tyranny.

You are really making WAYYYY too much out of this. Identity months are over. They not only should be over. They never should have been to begin with. Now you go emote like it's your Oscar performance.

This was all necessary because of the dominance of white Christians who were intolerable in word and action. That's unacceptable by any means. You guys created the problem to begin with.

I find gay month particularly annoying when shopping at MACYs. Constant announcements about gay this and gay that, and then at check out you’re asked to donate money to help gay this or gay that.

People are sick of all this identity politics for Democrat-favored minorities….blacks, gays, transgenders, Muslims.

Gays are the WORST. Not only is there Pride Month There is:
National Coming Out Day

• Celebrated n October 11th by the LGBTQIA+ community and allies
  

International Lesbian Visibility Day Celebrated on April 26th.

• Aromantic Awareness Week: Celebrated in February
• International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia: Celebrated on May 17th
• Pansexual & Panromantic Awareness Day: Celebrated on May 24th
• Bisexual Awareness Week: Celebrated from September 16th–23rd
• Agender Pride Day: Celebrated on May 19th
• International Asexuality Day: Celebrated on April 6th
• National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day: Celebrated on April 10th
• Day of Silence: Celebrated on the third Friday of April
• National Transgender HIV Testing Day: Celebrated on April 18th
• Nonbinary Parents Day: Celebrated on April 18th

After all this VOMIT, gays have the audacity to complain about Mother's Day and Father's Day! STOP already. All this is over and I could not be more happy.

The only disappointment is, during Black Month, stores identified which of their products were from black owned companies. Then I knew what not to buy.

Countries have a dominant culture. Try telling
China they should not have a Chinese atheist culture. See how far you get.

I can't imagine fighting for my country if it treated me as anything less than a full citizen and equal. That was a mark of the utmost valour , homor and courage. I remember a the story of the black platoon lead by a single white man who took back a fort during the Civil War. I believe in Savannah harbor. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. It came at a great cost in lives but they succeeded. No doubt sacrificed to save " white " soldier lives.

It is worth noting that you just described the experiance of the vast majority of soldiers of most nations for most of history.


You're unable to relate to nearly everyone.

 

[Stann]

Yup. When I am the grocery store, I am totally turned off by thr announcements of which products are made by blacks - with the obvious encouragement to buy those. Basically, they are steering people away from buying stuff from whites.

You people need to get a life of other people upset you that much. Don't go out , don't interact at all. , hide under a stone. You might be safe that way. The world will go on without you.

Where do you get upset. You're the only one upset. Choosing where to spend one's money isn't a reason to be upset. It's to make wise financial decisions.

Be careful for what you wish for. You just might get it. Our government works best on reason. , emotion and hatred do not make for good laws or happy , content people. It's a terrible sick game.

I am not upset , people like you are creating this disaster.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Nope, I haven’t seen that, but yup….that’s horrible!

Keep your eye open.

LOL , you're both getting upset over commercials . How silly.
