The African-American actress went so far as to call for the abolition of Black History Month and any other institution celebrating racial differences — even as the uproar over the lack of diversity among this year’s Oscar nominees is building.

“We have to make up our minds,” the actress-turned-conservative-pundit said on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends.”

Well, the headline of the story does start with 'Clueless Actress'.

Nope, no bias there.

How about we replace it with “Non-Hyphenated American Month?”

She is spot on and blacks cannot moan about wanting inclusiveness and then have their own awards, shows, rallies like bike week, and college funds or even schools.

what we should just do is, have one race/color month for each: January for White Europeans, February for Chinese Americans, March for Japanese Americans, April for Native Americans, May for Mexican Americans, June for Asian Americans, July for African Americans, and so on. That way everybody can have their own month

Besides. Black History Month is the shortest month of the year. Whitey couldn’t give us a real month.
