In Chicago HS they teach that Republicans are racists, literally. I am not making it up. That the GOP doesn’t counter this propaganda tells you all you need to know.

How do you propose they counter it. Will they hold a gun to the TV Station Producer’s Head, or the Newspaper Editor in Chief’s Head and force them to report the truth and retract their lies they have been spewing for decades?

Because that is the only way the info would get out. MSM doesn’t have to report anything truthful. They can also lie all they want ala Trayvon and Mike Brown and they will never be accountable.

Its a waste of time to think that we can get the truth out via TV or Newsprint.

Yeah, but they don’t hawk those ones like they do black history month. Look for the libs to put more pressure on the networks to smother the public with ads for those groups.

Obama has stepped up promotion of Gay Pride Month around the globe at our embassies.

I will continue to ignore all of that-it is divisive and separates us-I want a “We Are All Americans” month instead...

The establishment of a Black History MONTH was idiotic and should be an embarrassment to American Negroes who possess functioning brains .

It's also racist, because it's the shortest month of the year.

Thank you, sir!

I’m all for each of us observing/celebrating our ethnic customs-I celebrate ones my ancestors brought from Spain a few hundred years ago, and the ones they adopted from the Natives/Indians. I have friends who observe customs from Germany, England, Ireland, etc-but those customs are from when we were all the same in a country-that hasn’t ever been the case in the Americas-except for the Indians/Natives.

Sharing stories, customs, etc is great-I’m all for it, but not a whole damned month devoted to a race or ethnic group to the exclusion of others-stop declaring months/weeks, whatever celebrations of African/Chinese/Irish/Italian, etc history and culture-we are Americans first-don’t force your ethnic customs/history on fellow Americans.

The way to fix Black History Month being the shortest month is to add 3 days to February.

Better take them from one of the cold months, like January, rather than from one of the warm months.

There are BLACK ORGANIZATIONS that would dearly love to tell the real history of the BLACKS in this country. They’d dearly love your support. If we support these very brave blacks with our money, they’d probably make one hell of a difference in our black community. Just a suggestion.
