Bump for a great article.

My hat is off to you Mr Marcus. Thanks.

Interesting that you would mention Carver. He was one of my earliest heroes but Jesse Jackson only sees the presidency as a worthy goal to achieve.

Black History Month
Black Entertainment TV
NAACP
The Black Caucus
Etc,..etc,..
Are all RACIST...

I am still waiting for the PBS documentaries and major motion pictures about the black men sent to Congress just after the Civil War that tried to stop segregation before it happened. Just because they failed in that, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t recognize them.

And the writer George S Schuyler, I expect English classes will have to write essays about him.

The valor and sacrifice of slaves should not be confused with self-serving racial usery.

Character is not built on another’s pain and suffering - but your own.

Thank you for common sense perspective Lloyd Marcus.

Thank you Lloyd Marcus. But I'm reminded that the radical (Communist) Left has always believed the historical plight of Blacks would be its path to dominance.

As David Horowitz remembers from his childhood when Black singer Paul Robeson became a hero figure to American Communists like him and his parents:

"Robeson's [Communist] presence as a god in our midst seems prophetic to me now. In my radical generation, blacks would replace the proletariat in our imaginations as the Chosen People who were going to lead the rest of us to the Promised Land."

Things seem to be going according to plan.

I call it “white guilt” month.

It is very important to recognize the extent to which the movement for Negro equality and civil rights was infiltrated by Communists. In fact, the movement was to a great extent a Communist front used to recruit dissatisfied Negros and liberal whites into Communist ranks.

I wonder if any schools dare speak of Prince Hall? They may be so caught up into the line that all our founding fathers were just rich slave owners (ignoring that only a couple were) they completely miss the role that some African Americans, including Hall, a freed slave, played in our founding.

I've often said jokingly that Black History Month should more accurately be called "white people and America suck" month.

A good article and this is why I'd like to cut off all Federal Funds for PBS and NPR. They are the ring leaders in this nonsense. There's no reason any taxpayer should have to fund a network with the likes of Bill Moyers on it.

You cannot go even one week without the bash America stories being put out by NPR and PBS. It's pathetic.

If you watch this network on a regular basis, you would go crazy. I could site example after example but most here already know about this bias.

There shouldn’t even be a black history day, much less a month.

He was one of my earliest heroes

Me too. Yum!

What would Black history be if not for the hated White man?

[Rockingham]

Good article. Harsh circumstances often bring out extraordinary character and accomplishment. Despite Black History Month, much of what Black Americans have accomplished remains too little known and appreciated.

More than 300 inventions and the one most closely attatched to his name is one that he may not have invented at all.

Do you have a larger point?
