REM: This is from Chicagonow, and is just one more example of 'urban culture' that makes me shake my head in disgust. -------------- " ... to celebrate this special time of the year, here are 10 things that my White friends better not discuss with anybody, AT ALL, during the month of February:"

In this country,at least,worthless trash comes in all colors,ethnic groups,religions and genders.I'll speak about white trash...brown trash...yellow trash...and black trash whenever it suits my fancy.Same goes for male,female and "well,it depends how I feel" trash.Don't you *dare* tell me what I can and cannot discuss.

Very inclusive and even-handed of you, but which of the above ethnic groups is responsible for half of the murders in the US despite being about 13% of the population? Which would you say has an overwhelmingly disproportionate share of the trash?

Morgan Freeman said something so sensible?

Amazing!! What a racist the man turned out to be.

Well, she does have a rather large chest. Not much else to recommend her, though. Here’s another she forgot:

11. Don’t mention Black History Month is always the shortest month of the year, even on leap years. The Man is always giving them the short end of the stick.

There is a thin patina of civility that masquerades as friendship covering a vessel full of flammable fuel of hatred that just needs a spark to ignite....................

A century and a half ago soldiers fought in a long, bloody war to free Nikki's ancestors from the visible chains of bondage.

A generation and a half ago street preachers and legislators fought to free Nikki's parents from the invisible chains of discrimination.

Today Nikki has chosen to clasp the shackles of ignorance and racism on her own wrists and ankles and then loudly proclaim it the fault of those who freed her ancestors and parents.

I pity her.

Don't gripe about the unfairness of Whites not being able to say the n-bomb.

My college-age daughter told me that an English as a Second Language kid at her school (not black) heard some black kids throwing around the "N" bomb and he started to do likewise.

She tried to explain to him that was an inappropriate word, but could not come up with any way to answer his question as to why the black kids were all allowed to say it.

I can fully understand his outlook since he was raised in Mississippi..........As was I........

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Wow. Can we talk about skanks during Black History Month?

[elcid1970]

“Black history patriots”

Ask them who Dr. Ralph Bunche was. (crickets)

Ask them who Gen. Benjamin Davis was. (say who?)

Ask them who Sen. Edward Brooke was. (uh, hmmmmm..)

1. Don't remind people that President Obama is biracial. Look, White homey. If he's partially Black, that makes him Black.

Interesting. I wonder if that includes Clarence Thomas.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

No, that’s the list of things Star Parker, Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams aren’t allowed to talk about during Black History Month.

Holy smokes. What happened to her clothes? Was she standing in front of a plate glass window when it happened?

Well, they will never find the body of the woman who was walking her dog when the bomb went off on the other side of the window, but at least we know where the dog went.

[Abathar]

He said that, and I also heard him half jokingly complain that they gave them the shortest month of the year on purpose.

Don’t put aside the point of my post -
that there is real racism, and what leftists want to conflate with racism because they are lazy and just want people to shut up and not comment on behavioral and cultural differences.

Ask her when White History Month is.

[cripplecreek]

Teaching pride rather than resentment would go a long way.

And to be honest, these days damn near everybody is mixed. So if your great grandma was down with the swirl, then you should be celebrating this month, too. Happy Black History Month, my 2% Black brothas and sistas!

So it's like being "Irish" for Saint Patrick's Day (as Kerry claimed in the Congressional Record)?

Or Native American if you are a professors at an Ivy League school?

If I'm black now, where's my Obamaphone?

[a fool in paradise]

Don't talk to me about how so many rappers are a "bad influence." All I have to say is Black folks currently have no equivalent to Lindsay Lohan...

That's because the human trainwreck fomerly known as Rodney King passed away last year.

Detroit caller: can I axe you a question?
Me: can I hatchet you an answer?

Don't bitch about the president being friends with a rapper. Kid Rock is totally a rapper. Not a very good rapper, but a rapper nonetheless.

Johnny Cash was a rapper. He (like other country artists before him) talked in rhyme over the beat.

AND the backing music was played LIVE.
