Well that’s silly. Let’s just do June to coincide with Juneteenth? I mean, how hard is that? 😵‍💫 Have ‘they’ designated a “cross dress for less” month yet?

Cool. We’ll get to celebrate 30 days of black wonderful every 6 months.

Not to worry. When aMerica finally collapses, the Cartels (which already have their armed troops here and at the ready) will seize control of the new MexiMerica. They hate blacks and will fix the problem. They also hate whites and will fix that problem, too. So, there’s always that.

Sorry can’t help you. We’re going to divvy up the year, and the remaining months will be additional Pride months

They already have too much. How about a “Thank Whitey” month for all his generosity and for not saying anything about the crimes committed against Whitey that are not punished?

Maybe November could be third black history month seeing as how it contains a ‘Black Friday’.

Do they need August just in case February fails to materialize?

MLK Day, January. Black History Month, February. Juneteenth. Black August. Oh, school isn’t in session, extend it to September, start those kids off right. Kwanzaa.

Still a few gaps, though.

On top of the Juneteenth farce. And Kwanzaa.

Now the blacks have two months to honor their culture and two national holidays--and are about to get a third (Slavery Recognition Day). So just how does "institutional racism" permeate the US?

August is better for rioting, because it’s too damn cold in February.

There’s always somebody to throw dirt at Free Republic. Remember, FR is just as bad as everyone and everywhere else.

And they always say it as fact without any examples.

From the article:

Inspired by his words and frustrated with his situation, George’s younger brother, Jonathan, initiated a takeover at the Marin County Superior Court in California in 1970. He freed three inmates and held several courthouse staff hostage, in an attempt to demand the release of his brother and two other inmates, known as the Soledad Brothers, who were accused of killing a correctional officer. Jonathan was killed as he tried to escape, although it’s disputed whether he was killed in a courtroom shootout or fatally shot while driving away with hostages.

Not one single world about Judge Harold Haley, the hostage with a shotgun taped to his neck, whose head was blown off by young Jonathan Jackson. History! Bringing you the rest of the story, AP reporter, was the omission deliberate, or ignorant, or were you just regurgitating a press release and calling it journalism.

dedicated to Black freedom fighters, revolutionaries, radicals and political prisoners,

A "community" which honors and idolizes violent thugs will tend to become populated only by violent thugs. The so-called "black community" indeed has many problems and pathologies, all self inflicted.
