One Century of Honoring Black History

Black History Week and Month is now 100 years old.

100 Years of Black History Month

I thought of blacks as Americans, Thanks for clearing that up.

Dixiecrats only voted Democrat because they were not associated with Lincoln, and when Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act, they left the party and became Republicans.

Dixiecrats voted in 1948 and never voted again as Dixiecrats. Lyndon Johnson worked hard on Democrats to get them to support the 1964 Civil rights law. And hard he worked on his own party. 1 Democrat changed to Republican around 1965 and the south was Democrats until over 20 years later. The South gained republicans once the Democrats decided to not resist so much. Today they are in open rebellion again. Same old dog and pony show.

You probably have not heard the names Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

But I remember those names, and the tears that were brought to my eyes when I heard about what happened to them.

On January 7, 2007, the young white couple—Channon was 21, her boyfriend Chris was 23—was abducted, beaten, raped, tortured, and murdered. Chris eventually shot to death before being set on fire, and Channon left to die with a plastic bag over her head in a trash can. The perpetrators were all black.

If you have not heard their story, it’s because the racial nature of that black-on-white crime was uncomfortable for the national media a decade ago. Even now, it’s uncomfortable, as the delayed and reluctant coverage of the Chicago tortures showed.
...
“It turns out that the couple had made it to dinner, but when they arrived at the apartment complex where Christian’s best friends lived, they were carjacked by multiple assailants,” he said. “What followed was one of the most heinous, gruesome, senseless hate crimes, ever.”
...
Newsom was gagged with a sock in his mouth, his ankles were bound with his own belt, his hands were tied behind his back, his face was covered with a bandana and his head covered with a sweatshirt that his five assailants had tied around his neck with shoestrings.

He was then violently raped with an object and beaten.

“One can only imagine the horror Christopher experienced as he was then forced to walk barefoot to the nearby railroad tracks, where he was shot in the neck in the back,” Beck said solemnly. “But the shots didn’t kill him — he fell to the ground and was paralyzed.”

“That’s when the assailants stood over him, placed the gun against his head and fired, killing him execution style,” he added. Newsom was shot a total of three times.

But not even that was enough. The attackers then poured gasoline on his body and set him on fire.
...
The Blaze also provides an overview of the inhuman cruelty inflicted on Channon Christian.

A chilling act of brutality largely ignored by national media because of racial implications

What happened to Channon was even worse. I hesitate to recount the most horrific torture this young woman could endure after which she was treated like a piece of garbage and left to die in a trashcan. I think about that story from time to time and pray for their souls. And I replay in my mind exactly what I would do to the creatures who would do, could do, and did do to this innocent young and happy couple. I believe in "an eye for an eye" and I guarantee you these animals NEVER received true justice for their crimes. I've thought many times what manner of justice I would provide if only I could. It ain't pretty.

I'm thinking they offered a lot more to society than OJ and Bill Cosby.

50 Inventions By Black People That Make Your Life Easier, Safe & Tastier

Inventions by black people have changed the way we live. From things we eat to systems that keep us safe to the way our kids have fun in the summer- all have

I'm thinking that OJ and Bill Cosby are not the only black people, and that there really was no reason to mention them.

I am speaking for me. Your presence on this forum is you hate whites. But you want us to like you? When you stop being as racist, we will see if you changed and then be nice to you. How does the forum feel about his wild claims of racism?

Only mentioned them because their pictures were posted in the second post. I didnt do it to be offensive, but if you see it that way.... fine. It's par for the course.

Talking about Black History, the last titan of the Civil Rights Movement, H. Rap Brown, died in 2025.

I remember when I was in 8th grade. One of my school chums thought they had sited him in the Boys Room at school. But after the sister investigated , it turned out it was just black fellow for the gas company reading the meters.

I came that close to history, almost being in the same building as a black hero.

The Jackie Robinson of the Supreme Court, broke the color line.

Without a doubt , one of the most tremendous Supreme Court justices of all time. His percentage of correct votes is right up next to Scalia's.

Branch Rickey "broke the color barrier" in baseball....He's the one who stuck his neck WAY out to put Robinson on the MLB field.

"Black History" is just like American History. There is good, bad and ugly. If you filter out what you don't want to see, you are presenting a false picture of the past.

It would behoove whites in this forum to discuss the topic presented in this thread

Yes, let’s talk about black history….

Starting with the greatest hoax of all, Rosa Parks:



She was a self avowed communist, who is celebrated as a “civil rights hero”, even though her little bus stunt was totally staged.

All of your civil rights stunts were set ups.

This is why they chose to have their lunch counter setups at stores owned by the FW Woolworth Company, instead of locally owned businesses.

It was easy to know what the policy of a corporate manager would do, an independent businessman is a different story.

If they decided to chase them off with a firearm, or even worse for the protesters- decided to serve them, it would have ruined the whole stunt. After all, the protesters were counting on not be served and probably didn't have money to pay anyhow.

There are 30 categories of crime listed in the Uniform Crime Report. In 2024, blacks led in arrests in two categories in the Uniform Crime Report, murder and robbery. I am not going to pretend this is a good thing, but let’s look at the arrest categories whites led in:

Rape, Aggravated assault, Burglary, Larceny-theft, Motor vehicle theft, Arson, Violent crime, Property crime, Other assaults, Forgery and counterfeiting, Fraud, Embezzlement, buying, receiving, and possessing stolen property, Vandalism, carrying, possessing, Weapons, Prostitution and commercialized vice, Sex offenses besides rape and prostitution, Drug abuse violations, Gambling, Offenses against the family and children, Driving under the influence, Liquor laws, Drunkenness, Disorderly conduct, Vagrancy, All other offenses (except traffic), Suspicion, Curfew and loitering law violations.

It would behoove whites in this forum to discuss the topic presented in this thread instead of the usual retarded white racist bullshit. After all, the American record shows that whites have a history of criminal behavior that started at the very beginning of this country. Whites have elected numerous criminals to make laws in this country, like the current President, for example. Whites organized crime and made it a corporate business.

Whites control the manufacturing, shipment, and distribution of drugs in this country. Whites made two of the most destructive drugs legal, creating millions of addicted citizens. Alcohol and nicotine. Whites have embezzled and scammed people out of trillions of dollars in the years America has been a country. Whites control the manufacturing, shipping, sales, and distribution of deadly weapons in this country.

This is a thread about the real achievements of blacks in America not some white racists opinion. The next white asshole who tries what this tried will be reported.

The problem with your attempt to change the subject is that blacks are over 93% the victims of black crime

And whites are over 90 percent of white crime.

The subject is black history, not crime and when you racists decide to try making it crime, I am going to point out that whites commit more crime.

White people don't determine who the black heroes are.

I can’t have a hero if they’re black? That seems mighty racist of you
