Running up debt, enslaving future generations under massive debt, chilling civil liberties, violating the Constitution and leaving America a weaker, less free, and less prosperous nation is nation to celebrate.

Notice the thread title? Any comments that do not completely focus on Black History... for example, comments complaining about being white in relation to this, are thread derailments. Keep that in mind when you post so you don't get infracted.

The thread is about the blacks so let's stick to Obama and leave George W. Bush out of it.

:lol: Either failed high school history or has yet to take it not to mention the latent hostility and racist attitude... what a gem!

I see no need for a Black History Month but certainly history should be taught year round and all people celebrated...
 
Black History month is racist. But, apparently it's a racism which passes the PC test.
 
Not just in February, but every day of the year, real Black History is ignored in the US. For example:

According to federal census reports, on June 1, 1860 there were nearly 4.5 million Negroes in the United States, with fewer than four million of them living in the southern slaveholding states. Of the blacks residing in the South, 261,988 were not slaves. Of this number, 10,689 lived in New Orleans. The country's leading African American historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin, records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free Negroes in that city.

To return to the census figures quoted above, this 28 percent is certainly impressive when compared to less than 1.4 percent of all American whites and less than 4.8 percent of southern whites. The statistics show that, when free, blacks disproportionately became slave masters.

The majority of slaveholders, white and black, owned only one to five slaves. More often than not, and contrary to a century and a half of bullwhips-on-tortured-backs propaganda, black and white masters worked and ate alongside their charges; be it in house, field or workshop. The few individuals who owned 50 or more slaves were confined to the top one percent, and have been defined as slave magnates.

In 1860 there were at least six Negroes in Louisiana who owned 65 or more slaves The largest number, 152 slaves, were owned by the widow C. Richards and her son P.C. Richards, who owned a large sugar cane plantation. Another Negro slave magnate in Louisiana, with over 100 slaves, was Antoine Dubuclet, a sugar planter whose estate was valued at (in 1860 dollars) $264,000 (3). That year, the mean wealth of southern white men was $3,978 (4).

Your post is the very reason I lodge the complaint.
 
pretty much the 2nd most important political act after humans we allowed to be free... 100 years later these same humans and all humans would have basic civil rights in what was starting to evolve into the greatest nation ever because of its freedom. May all the thanks be giving to god for the faith of a people...

It's the shortest month of the year but with these folks you take what you can get.

let us never forget our harsh history as humans against all odds had to fight a wicked figure just to become FREE.



Think GOD ALL MIGHTY that these men in power at the time had the common sense at lease to write perhaps one of the most powerful statement ever.

"we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal"

this powerful quote is the only reason GOD has not "judge" America. YET.

"We have overcome" is a meme. Blacks haven't actually overcome anything.
