It was very well on its way to "ending" when the Dems and Zero and the "Rev." Sharpton and Jackson began to make EVERYTHING about race. I remember growing up and going to professional basketball games at the Phoenix Suns. It never dawned on me, not once, that Connie Hawkins was black and that Dick Van Arsdale was white . . . until the race bigots began to hammer race at every turn.

The bottom line is, they can't have it both ways. You can't have "black history month" to celebrate supposedly "good" racial characteristics and then complain when people joke about supposedly "bad" racial characteristics. Once you go race, you never go back.

Why is the answer to a story on white racism towards blacks alway an example of black racism towards whites. I knew when I read this post that eventually it would lean that way and it did. I would really just love to know when all humans could just do as MLK spoke of and judge people by the content of their character. Whether black, white, Asian or Hispanic....we should just give it a rest.

Now that is interesting. Of course the party kids behaved stupidly but having a black history month with no white, asian or indian history month is condescending, and racist.

to celebrate supposedly “good” racial characteristics

Black history month is not about celebrating “good” racial characteristics (whatever that means.) Its about highlighting black contributions to history, science, the arts etc. I can’t see why that is considered a negative thing to have a knowledge of that information.
