We should celebrate black history month. we should also have a white history month to celebrate. I think it should be April. April is such a lovely month.
Actually BHM is the shortest month of the year, so even though the Dems gave them an entire month to bring up old ghosts, they still stiffed em. Seems they could have picked a better month. But Feb is one of the coldest, most miserable months of the year.
To all the people that say we need to learn black history, you don't need an entire month to do it.
To those who say not declaring a BHM is shoving slavery under the rug, you're a bit extreme in that accusation, don't you think? That would be true if there was utter silence about slavery the rest of the year and only Feb is the time you could talk about it. Go to Obama's former church,
Trinity United, and that's all they talk about.
Why is it so many blacks don't trust whites in this country? If you ask them personally they will tell you that they don't trust each other, much less a white. Who was it that said if he was walking down a dark street and someone was walking behind them they'd breath a sigh of relief if it was a white person? I can't remember off hand who it was.
Who are some of the most high paid entertainers in sports and in TV today?
Bill Cosby

LaBron James
Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson is the highest paid college president.
Let's focus on these people, not slavery. Focus on African-American's contributions to science and technology. Give kids examples of excellence, not examples of how not to act. Don't hold our talented kids back with all of the negativity that our history is full of and allow them to grow.
Funny thing is, as bad an example Obama has been he's still the most obvious role-model black kids have in America. This is why they're so vested in his success. This is why they'll vote for him even though he's a terrible president. If this is the best we can do then we are on our way down, like Obama keeps saying in so many words. This country has already seen it's best days and people like Obama are the future, not the past.
