February is Black History Month and a time to celebrate the many significant and far reaching accomplishments of black Americans. Instead we’re endlessly bombarded by a vitriolic media, Hollywood, and academia with claims that America was founded on slavery. Christianity is rejected as "the white man's religion that justified slavery."
A historical review shines the light of truth on these false charges.
Slavery
Despite the assertion that America cornered the market on slavery, slavery has been a worldwide institution since the beginning of civilization. Thomas Sowell, renowned black economist and philosopher, provides insights about slavery in his book (chapter titled “Twisted History”).
“Of all the tragic facts about the history of slavery, the most astonishing to an American today is that, although slavery was a worldwide institution for thousands of years, nowhere in the world was slavery a controversial issue prior to the 18th century. People of every race and color were enslaved – and enslaved others. White people were still being bought and sold as slaves in the Ottoman Empire, decades after American blacks were freed.“Slavery was just not an issue, not even among intellectuals, much less among political leaders, until the 18th century – and then it was an issue only in Western civilization. Among those who turned against slavery in the 18th century were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and other American leaders. You could research all of the 18th century Africa or Asia or the Middle East without finding any comparable rejection of slavery there. But who is singled out for scathing criticism today? American leaders of the 18th century.”
Sowell shows that it was 17th-century Christians who attacked slavery’s immorality.

“Why is Black History Month February? ‘Cause 28 days is all The Man is gonna give us.” -Chris Rock
Islam believes in and practices slavery.
BHM...... pretending to be relevant
Can someone tell me when White History Month is? I can’t find it on my calendar.
Seems like someone forgot pedo joe’s declaring he and his ilk will choose “truth(?)” over facts.
I know this is beating a dead horse with fellow FReepers, but it needs to be repeated: This entire “Woke” movement is just a rehash of Jim Crow designed to keep our Afro brothers and sisters compliant and subservient to the Democrats. Their demonization of Whites is just a strategy to push the illusion that the Democrats are on the back man’s side, which nothing could be further from the truth. It’s high time we counter this disgusting narrative with the truth.
From Emory University and associated other sources, some facts on who went where and where they came from. But facts....meh!:
If there is no white history month isn’t that racism?.
Or any other race as far as that goes
What’s worse is Faggot month aka Pride month.
