I have no problem with Black History Month.

By all means let's talk about Sojourner Truth, who was born a slave in the Hudson Valley of New York. Let's talk about prominent Republican civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Let's talk about noted academic Dr. George Washington Carver, who did his reasearch on peanuts for the purpose of lifting black tenant farmers out of the double curses of poverty and malnutrition. Let's talk about anthropologist and Harlem Renaissance author Zora Neale Hurston, who wrote that "...New Deal economic support created a harmful dependency by African Americans on the government, and that this dependency ceded too much power to politicians." Let's talk about Fredrick Douglass, who in response to the rhetorical question "What should white America do with the black man?" responded that white America should leave the black man alone, and allow him to make his own way. Let's talk about Dr. Charles Drew, who essentially invented blood banking in the era of Jim Crow.

Let's talk about all these aspects of Black History that do not serve the Liberal interest in keeping these vital people on the Democrat plantation.

Exactly. Let’s talk about the likes of George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington, Charles Drew....all men who realized that racism wasn’t going to stop them from achieving great things on their own merits.
