The real black history that is avoided...

93% of black homicides are black-on-black
80% of black babies born to fatherless homes
25 MILLION black babies murdered and dismembered by Planned Butcherhood - a racist group founded by DNC/KKK's Margaret Sanger

Chicagostan - January2021

>> the election of the first Black woman elected vice president Fantasy


It’s funny how the “one-drop rule” has been embraced by today’s left. Obama, half-white is 100% black. He didn’t grow up in the U.S. and didn’t experience life as most black Americans until adulthood.

Kamala Harris is not even half black, grew up with her Indian family in Canada in spite of her claims to only want Fweedom! as a toddler. When elected to the Senate way back in 2018 she was hailed as the first Indian-American Senator.

Nothing will ever be enough. The politicians and POCs won’t be satisfied until whitey is bled out and dead. Then, Zimbabwe!

Is Black History Month enough?

No it is most certainly not! We need a White History Month, a Asia History month. the Hispanics may have one already.

In all this, the Native Americans were more screwed over than blacks brought here as slaves. In 1492 the native population of North America north of the Rio Grande was seven million to ten million.

In the entire slave trade between 1525 and 1866, 10.7 million Africans were shipped to the Western Hemisphere. How many of those people were shipped to North America? About 388,000. Another 60,000 to 70,000 Africans ended up in the United States after touching down in the Caribbean first, so that would bring the total to approximately 450,000 Africans who arrived in the United States over the course of the slave trade.

Of course, largely as a result of natural increase, the United States went from being a country that accounted for 6 percent of slaves imported to the New World to one that in 1860 held more than 60 percent of the hemisphere’s slave population. By 1860, the nation’s black population had jumped from 400,000 to 4.4 million, of which 3.9 million were slaves.

So, at peak, four million slaves who were all emancipated versus seven to ten million Native Americans treat horribly. Who should have the bigger beef?

Regardless of the numbers, we are poorer as a nation for constantly picking at these scabs. We are never going to let them heal.

Black history month arrived when my son was in 5th grade. His teacher was black and reveled in pushing black history month on her classroom. She was also incompetent as hell. I had to correct his English compositions and tutor him in math to compensate for a worthless seat warmer. I have no idea how the other parents dealt with such a blatantly incompetent teacher.

I was thinking that answering a multiple choice
question about Black History Month would be racist.
Too much diversity in the answer to satisfy the
thought police correct answer of one.

The race baiters and race agitators will never stop playing the system and whites against the blacks. The Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world thrive on their race shenanigans.

And this Black Lives Matter group has nothing to do with advancing blacks. It is a Marxist communist group using the black race for sympathy in order to destroy the US government by any means necessary.

I am an advocate of the Morgan Freeman approach to racism. Get rid of Black History Month, stop talking about racism, stop stirring up images of racial hatred and instead focus on the big picture....America.

And we all know which political party uses race as one of the divisive groups they play in their identity politics game.

DemocRATS need the racial uproar all of the time for them have something to "fix". It's a major part of their playbook.

A month isn’t enough time to chronicle the positive contributions made to civilization by white men.

Bingo. Frankly, it’s the only play in their playbook. They yak about “unity,” but their entire raison d’être is division and resentment.

Just change the country name to Africa America and be done with it.

They still promote the same group of black achievements every year. As if no black person has done anything important. And when we are bombarded with non stop “all black all the time” it is some violent felon who had a heart attack, BLM looters getting a peace prize, or some stupid athlete getting millions of dollars to chase a ball says America is super racist.
