to celebrate supposedly “good” racial characteristics
Black history month is not about celebrating “good” racial characteristics (whatever that means.) Its about highlighting black contributions to history, science, the arts etc. I can’t see why that is considered a negative thing to have a knowledge of that information.
Black history month is about separating Americans. Black history as it occurs in this country is simply American history - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
There’s nothing special or ordinary about being black or white or any other color/race. The Founders happen to be Caucasians, but they’re the Founders for all Americans.
Black history month is about maintaining victim-hood and racial divisions. The result is that instead of learning about George Carver or Booker T. Washington as Americans and a part of our history, all our history, they remain the separate province and property of a race. That’s the divisive goal of socialism.
Going back to the story, the point is to make these girls feel different and unwanted, to keep them separated under a conspiracy of racism. We laugh at Italian, Polish or other ethnic jokes partly because there is some truth to them. The ghetto lifestyle certainly isn’t something to be celebrated in a positive way. It is ruinous to the kids that take it on as a lifestyle no matter what their race.
See? you fell for it. The very notion that there are “black contributions to history, science, the arts etc” is a racist concept. If the contributions are important BECAUSE they are black then demands that one celebrate “white contributions to history, science, the arts etc” because they are white. In other words, “contributions” become important because they were made by a particular race, not because they are important in and of themselves. And that is as Archie Bunker would say, “Ipso fatso,” the very definition of racism.
