I guess they all look alike to the Chinese manufacturers.

“ Target’s Black History Month magnet book mixed up the three civil rights icons”

That’s because they all look alike

I had to look up Carter Woodson (”creator” of Black History Month). That said - he had some good things to say.

“History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

If you are going to virtue signal, do try harder to get it right.

Woodson explained the idea behind the celebration. “It is not so much a Negro History Week as it is a History Week,” he wrote, according to the ASALH. “We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in History. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hatred and religious prejudice.”

I like his explanation. Too bad it’s been corrupted.

When Obama was elected I thought “Well - at least we can put this race stuff behind us”. Instead, he single-handedly set us back another 50 years or more.

Exactly what I thought as well. What a disappointment.

Booker T was a good man
DuBois was a commie.

I have a hard time getting upset with DuBois—he wanted blacks to move back to Africa.

That was Garvey. Dubious and Mlk Jr are my villains. I even prefer Malcom X to Michael King. He saw who the greatest enemy of blacks was.
