Black History Month is upon us. Some will attempt to use it as a tool to push divisive agendas such as critical race theory or Black Lives Matter.
But we must avoid such ideologies and remain focused on what unites us as a nation, regardless of our race. Indeed, it is wrong to assume that Black history must only involve Black Americans.
Every moment of greatness in our history belongs to all Americans, because the fruits of those triumphs have blessed all of us. This applies to Washington crossing the Delaware, to the Constitutional Convention, and other events not typically acknowledged as Black history; these all belong to the Black story as well.
At the same time, there are both triumphs and tragedies that have been specific to the Black experience. The beautiful resistance against government tyranny that occurred at the Boston Tea Party was largely spurred by the killing of Black U.S. Army soldier Crispus Attucks by the British. Gospel, jazz and blues are beautiful, world unique musical forms that were born out of the Black experience in America. Let us celebrate those and other such triumphs during this month.
Yet, there are also tragedies that affect the Black population more than other groups. The crime rate is significantly higher, as is the prevalence of fatherless homes, sexually transmitted diseases, and discipline issues at school.
On top of that, there are problems not typically seen as racial issues which disproportionately impact Black Americans. Inflation, specifically of gas prices and housing prices, is one such problem. High gas prices are like regressive taxation, with the working class having to pay an increasing share of a smaller income just to get to and fro. The rapid rise in housing prices is crowding Black Americans out of the housing market.

Black history month is about propaganda’
That’s all
I think actor Morgan Freeman said he thought it was ridiculous to relegate black history to a month.
Nat X said, “It’s just like ‘The Man’ to make Black History Month, the shortest month of the year!”
Inflation is a pernicious “hidden tax” on all of us.
It’s a good article but I don’t agree with Dr. Carson about the gas prices. High gas prices and high housing costs affects white people the same as black people with similar incomes.
I now refer to $3.00+ gas as Biden-gas because the price is so high. One of my 2 cars takes premium fuel, so I guess I’ll try to drive it less and the other one more.
Dr. Carson is a good man. We need more like him.
Is it racism if there is no white history month?.
We need asian historh mknth, american indian history, white history month, hispanic history month why just black history month?
bump
Ah yes ... I almost forgot to run the ‘Stars and Bars’ up my flagpole for this month.
It COULD be that, Dr. C but its been hijacked by leftists and propagandists.
I am sorry that for 300 years or so there was not a lot of positive, memorable black history. But you don’t make it up to appease. Yes as a race they did suffer horribly. But that has been over for a long time too.
Just not buying any of it for women, trannies, fageaux, everyone EXCEPT the one group who made them possible at all.
Just by its existence it fosters division and racism. Talk to Morgan Freeman about this sort of crappola.
What we need is a White History Month.

Thought that was June. At least that's when I see the most rainbow flags.
