Black history month is a national disgrace.
"Black History Month" Isn't it a crock!
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.
Well, speaking as a European-American, I'm outraged!
(just kidding. :))
Is there a plain History month?
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.
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.
The problem I have is that now we study a little black history one month of the year and ignore American history year round.
One question... When is it?
Black history should include key events in the history of slavery and Jim Crow, such as the fact the the Democrats were the party of racism and slavery from America's beginnings right on through the post-1964 civil rights era (to say nothing of the present).
If anyone has that historical list of dates on this issue, I'd appreciate if you'd post it.
I think the Democratic Party owes a national apology to all American black people, and to the world, for its leading role in the persecution of the black race.
Oh well. Maybe next life.
Would that result in a Gray History Month?

Be wary of any claims to "connections" to the underground railroad. My husband's extended family in Kentucky owned a very nice home (circa mid-1800s) right on the Ohio River. It had fallen into some disrepair and a few years ago a distance cousin from California bought it and fixed it up as a tourist spot. The older family members were quite surprised to learn that runaway slaves used to hide in the outbuildings and were smuggled north.
Makes me question a lot of what I'm told about historic sites.

Watering down is the American way. Christmas is a retail shopping orgy, Valentine's Day a card and jewelry sale and Halloween sells more candy than Easter.
Black History Month is when Budweiser and Coke market to African-Americans and PBS TV can rerun some shows on the Civil Rights era to highlight how hard the Democrats worked for that group (despite more Republicans in the Senate voting for the bill than Democrats).
