Racist, inflammatory $#@! posting.

Waaayyyyyyy!!!

'Racist' is the new buzz word for 2018.

Last month was white history month. So is next month, and all the other months of the year.

Really? I don't see it on the calendar and nothing on TV announcing it. Can you direct me to the announcement?

To your first sentence......Then why is there no "White History" Month or week or day?


Second sentence.........Then why is there black history month?


Afterall, you said history is history

Yes, I disagree with the concept of "Black History Month", as I said. What does that have to do with the racist connotation of this thread? I mean, you know, besides nothing.

Not at all. This is just me "taking a knee" in protest to illustrate the folly.

Umm.. you keep shooting yourself in the proverbial foot (aka hoisting by own petard).

It is in fact, Black History Month. Saw the commercial again this morning. So, there is some history in my post (recent history).

Isn't America great?

The OP was making a connection between the so called "history" of Black History Month and what whites will remember about black history.

Good and fair discussion (mostly) on this provocative subject line. Thanks for the comments.
