I would end ALL the minority history months, as well as all the special one-day “commemorations” that the gaysbians are always adding every year!!!!

Teach true American history and blacks might not feel the need to have a special month. After all, there are plenty of black revolutionary era patriots and heroes that can and should be celebrated along with the rest.

I had the pleasure of listening to both Anita Moncrief & the Reverend Wayne Perryman last night. Rev. Perryman went into a lot of detail about Abraham Lincoln’s life that we never get in history books because the leftists want to paint America as a totally racist nation & tar our heroes with that brush. It was a wonderfully informative evening. Too bad most will never understand what is happening to our country!

Black History Month, a concept that he finds puts black history in a 28- (or 29-) day box."The Man gives us February because it's the SHORTEST month of the year!"

He said that Lincoln has been tarred as a racist because of comments he made in the debates with Stephens(?). But in his neighborhood he had many black neighbors & one of his best friends was a wealthy black businessman. This man visited with him in the White House.
His wife also had a very close relationship with a black woman and they would go shopping together. When the Lincoln’s son Willie died, his wife was distraught & the only person she would allow to come to her was this black friend. This lady prepared Willie for burial. On the night Lincoln was assassinated this woman attempted to come to her, knowing she would be in need, but soldiers posted outside of the White House refused to let her enter.
Also, IIRC, Lincoln had left instructions that his black friend should lead the horse pulling his caison, but he was too distraught over the death to do it.
Unfortunately, the details are getting hazy. Old age... But that’s probably the gist of it.

Washington’s slave, William Lee appears to have been the only true friend and confidant that George Washington had. Lee was trusted with the deepest military secrets General Washington had.

"The film follows Tilghman, now 32, as he takes a yearlong cross-country trip in February 2010 on a one-man mission to end Black History Month"
If this is the same fellow that was on PBS's "Independent Lens" the other night then all you who think this is a great guy might reconsider what his mission is, and that is to make "black history" a required credit to graduate high school.
That's right. A year long course teaching everything the leftist couldn't cram in 28 days.... Maybe a noble cause but as we all know the liberals and hard core hide behind noble cause to sub born American freedoms.

Lincoln was a racist. In the fact that his public stances on the treatment of freed slaves, ie, they shouldn't be put on the same level as white men. There are many quotes by him stating such.
That doesn't mean he was hostile to the plight of blacks or that he didn't have friends who were black.but just a creature of his times and as such, should be judged according to the mores of that time. As a fact so were many great men of that time whose politically stances would be see as hateful in these times but were commonplace back then. Despite the political correctness propaganda of the left, "racist" didn't and doesn't necessarily equate to "Hate".
The judgementalism of the history by the Left is just as nauseating as is the whitewashing of history by the Right.
If the full history of our wonderful country was taught, warts and all, in the proper context, would be the most popular class in school.
Instead it is as the dry, tasteless crap that is served to public school students everyday at lunchroom.
I love history and was blessed with teachers who taught outside the bland, politically sanitized version in the text books ok'ed by committees who couldn't read them without falling to sleep.

Add to that Washington’s will stated that none of the slaves were to be sold. Instead they were deeded land in southeast Pennsylvania. Prime land. Thanks to Washington those freed slaves became wealthy landholders.

It is time to stop pampering blacks and let them join the mainstream.
The latest 3 ring circus over Whitney Houston’s death was just another display of the excesses resulting from our twisted, perverted culture that has a seperate set of rules for blacks and pretty much makes them unaccountable and untouchable.
Blacks need to break away from their obsession with skin color and start thinking of themselves as non-hyphenated Americans.
They have had their day - it’s time to get off out backs and
They have had their day - It is time for them to stop forcing their victimhood into every aspect of our lives and concentrate on building a better life for themselves and their children.
The need to get off the government plantation and off taxpayers backs.
