Black history month is a national disgrace.

"Yet a White History Month would be racist..."

As long as we continue to categorize ourselves, we will continue to arbitrarily divide ourselves.

Brings to mind something about a House Divided.

Question: If we already had an entire "Black History Month," why did we also need a made up holiday in December to dilute the Christmas season?

I didn't know that history had a race, but leave it to the Orwellians. If someone were to offer me an "Italian History Month" I would think him daft. Perhaps some protected species don't think this way.

Having it in the shortest month of the year is clearly racist.

Having this month is the wrong idea. First, it's American history. Second, the left is only trying to separate people into opposing groups.
Since the left would never agree to Polish history month, or German, or French, or whatever, the whole concept has to be trashed.

As with most things that happen in this world... follow the money. There is big money in amplifying, and working on the business of division and inequality, (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton come to mind).

And don't forget that June is "Gay Heritage Month" -I sh!t you not. Please ignore the fact that shirtlifters can't procreate, so they have no "heritage" in the general sense of the term.

That is easy my FRiend....its because Christmas is a racist season! Celebrating the season by dreaming of a "WHITE" Christmas? Gets no more racist than that!

----
Yes, a celebration of race-baiting, frivolous pursuit of reparations for slavery, and unexcelled victimization in exchange for votes. At the same time, we should celebrate fine upstanding Americans like Jesse J., Al Sharpton, etc. Such pride we take in these fine Americans.

Black History Month is liberalism's method of keeping the slaves on the plantation to do their bidding. Heaven forbid there should ever be anything known as an American History Month, teaching Patriotism and Pride of being an American. Teach a lie often enough and soon the people you want to keep as slaves begin to believe the lie. Ask Rev. Al and Rev. Jessie.

Maybe we could move it to a 31 day month so it wouldn't be so diluted.

I was once in a store owned by a major book seller chain and one employee came up and pointed to the black history books out for black history month and told me it was all political. He said that no one ever bought the books,and this is a store in Atlanta,Ga which has a major black market.
