On Wednesday, America will kick off another black history month. This year’s theme is black resistance. Among the 9 people featured in the official poster are Angela Davis and Malcolm X — not Martin Luther King or Clarence Thomas, men who made America better, but a pair of thugs.
Davis is the communist who in August 1970 surreptitiously armed three murder defendants which led to a shootout with the police that left the judge and the three gunmen dead.
Malcolm X was an ex-convict who once was the face of the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist church. When he left it, the church sent assassins who killed him.

Why do they honor the thugs, the crimnals, the racists? So many fine people, great role models, go unnoticed by their own.

Malcolm X hated America. In that interview, he said, “Sir, how can a Negro say America is his nation? He was brought here in chains; he was put in slavery an worked like a mule for three hundred years; he was separated from his land, his culture, his God, his language!
“The Negro was taught to speak the white man’s tongue, worship the white God, and accept the white man as his superior.
“This is a white man’s country. And the Negro is nothing but an ex-slave who is now trying to get himself integrated into the slave master’s house”
Yet they stay here and rant. And raise hell. That does nothing to liift them up. But they never return to “their countries”. Even now they cross our southern border illegally to live in our awful “white supremacist” country. How does that work?

Few things are more difficult to relinquish than long-held grievances.

I am pretty tired of all things Black. Black history, Black protests, Black reparations, Black celebrities, Black schools, Black racism....it goes on. If I see one more story about the Tyre Nichols death, I am going to ralph. One can only take a diet of the same thing year after years before rebelling. I am at my limit. Instead of making white people more sympathetic to alleged black oppression in America, they are turning people against their causes.
Give it a rest.

Not for drivebys, this is a serious, well-conceived and researched essay. Surber doesn’t do essays that are just clickbait. Should be everyone’s Must Read.

The month gets longer each year. One of my fav TV cable channels has already started, as did one of my satellite music channels, host of which said he was going to honor all the Af Ams who made such great music. They did and it's played all the time, but unless it's BH Month, we enjoy it without the preening and lectures.

Every month, holiday, and street name has been commandeered by the left. Everyone else's culture is taught to be wrong, and our statues, history, and holidays all renamed to be inclusive, while none of theirs includes anybody that disagrees or lives differently than they say they want to live.

In 1911, Booker T. Washington wrote:
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."

Black history is on display every time welfare checks and food stamps go out. Black history is also on display at every jail in this country, and every time there is a murder in a major city in this country. Are there positive Black history stories. Of course, there are. They just won't be promoted by the media. Be prepared for a month of stories about how some Black woman overcame racism to achieve something. They won't say it was done because there have been trillions of dollars spent and hundreds of government programs created to help Blacks. Her accomplishment was done all on her own while she fought the racist white man to move ahead.

The Democrats who take a page out of Marxist revolution and constantly engage in class warfare, pitting a class against another and declaring themselves champions o their cause to gain those constituents divides America. The Dims are race baiters and keeps the nation from healing.

This is a good article but lost somewhere in the lengthy article is this brief paragraph: "The problem with black history is it tells only part of one side of the story. Slavery is an important part of black history, true, but the idea that white men went to Africa and hunted down black people to enslave is a lunacy imagined by Alex Haley. West African nations — chiefly Ghana — engaged in a lucrative slave market for centuries before Columbus ventured west. Africans enslaved their enemies to be — in the words of Malcolm X — “worked like a mule for three hundred years” and “separated from his land, his culture, his God, his language!” This needs to be shouted from the rooftops and taught in black history classes. African blacks are just as responsible, if not more so, for slavery as are white people.

They'll get rid of Black History Month. They'll rename it to History Month, as soon as they declare all other history 'white supremacy' and tear it down.

I've had to put up with this ridiculous carp for my entire adult life. It was always just pandering. Nobody I know of actually celebrated or even cared about "black history". To be truthful, I think it created more resentment than anything else.
How am I supposed to Celebrate? Rob a store? Get on welfare? Beat up a white person? Surrender 40 IQ points?

How about black fatherhood month instead of the BS Black History month. 80% of Black Kids do not have a father. Be ashamed black male Americans for failing one of the most fundamental of your human responsibilities. Kids come first above all else and you are miserable failures.

The black people I know in my everyday life from the office to the Walmart to the oil change place are polite, intelligent and unlike the black people I see on cable that have shows but are completely hateful people.
