Dammit I was going to say every month
He makes a great point. This is sickening pandering beyond the pale. As Thomas Sowell often notes, Black History Month was probably not even the result of a massive outcry for it, but the brainchild of woke leftist academics.
Just asking this question is enough to get you sent to the camps....
Black History Month, Black TV, etc.
Two points, please:
1. Yes, the word “black” here refers to a race. But I think it’s better thought of as an ethnic group. In my neck of the woods, there is a large amusement park. And they hold an “African-American Day” there every year. Does that mean there should also be a “White-American Day”?
No. Because there is already an “Italian-American Day”, a “Polish-American Day”, etc. (I am neither Italian nor Polish. But I go to the Italian Day for the food, and to the Polish Day for the music.)
2. Such things - Black TV, Polish-American Day, etc. - might be fun, but they really are a bit divisive. I’ll be happy enough if and when they fade away.
But I will still listen to my Polish polka CDs at home!
So is he suggesting shortening it to like a week? Is a month too long, Morgan?
Keep asking this and pretty soon someone with will be pushing for a women’s history month. Stir the waters and the SJW wokes will “realize” what is “missing.”
Ah yes the annual whine. Pick your brand:
German history month is in October
Irish is March
Greek is also March
Jews get May
French get July
Everybody gets something.
The calendar on my iPhone informs me that Women’s History month begins March 1st.
What do Czechs get?
Ok, I know the answer.
Cashed. 😆
March thru January
I guess we recently avoided a women’s series of quarters following the America the Beautiful series.
He’s recently taken to the bs that “blacks owned/built/created everything” and they’re owed, something.
Longer standing, is his belief that “Whites” have not struggled or faced adversity, just showed up & took over. (short version).
Italians, Greeks, Slavs, Poles, Laplanders, Britts... all the same.
Different languages? Religion ? Physical appearances? Nope, you have no culture or you’re all the same culture.
The peoples called out as “White” are, currently, the end results of untold millennia of development, migration, war, devastation, extinction, survival, setbacks and success.
What is pilloried as “white supremacy” is what is successful.
If you speak an Indo-European language, use electricity, surf the interwebs, live in a house with windows, doors, a/c... you may want to thankful.
“No. Because there is already an “Italian-American Day”
As an American of Italian bloodline, MOST (almost a majority) in my community are pissed why obama kids get a month, and we only have a day. We’re happy with one day in the year but a month due to effing liberal white guilt is BS.
What if we celebrated Women’s History for two or three days every month?
More like white history 11 months .
ff
Black folks should be given their own continent as reparations.
We can name it.....
Africa!
Where is Americans of Asian Descent History Month, asking for my family.
