Him along with Ben Carson Thomas sowell Clarence Thomas pics and info….you won’t see hanging up in school hallways or classroom this month.

[Unwoke]

Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors and his words are spot on although it may be painful for some on this forum. 

[Hagar]

Durn him for not allowing himself to be bought off by politicians.

[Unwoke]

Yep

Every month is white history month. We only get one.

Did you listen to what he had to say?

[LumRaiderFan]

Why does history have to have a color?

No, she’s been programmed to avoid critical thinking and think for herself along with many others on this forum.

Yep. I understand what he is saying. Unfortunately, teaching black history is not a mainstream. I agree with him, we should have longer than a month.

At some point you need to ask yourself if you want to be treated the same or different. 

If you want to be treated the same, stop labeling things as black.

12% of the population….1/12 of the year. Pretty close. Of course you cry for more.

I agree one month is not enough. "We" should be one and not divided. Human/American history is taught in every school. All the way up thru higher education.

And ALL history needs to taught, good or bad.  You can’t make certain parts go away by not teaching it.

And as a perfect example I found this today. I've lived here my whole life. And never heard this story before.

It's an amazing story. If not for Black History Month we wouldn't know.

There is no way to know all history. There have been many local “wars” and skirmishes throughout American history. Footnotes of history in a given area (like SE Texas) would take extensive knowledge like a master’s or doctorate.

For every small community in this country, there are likely dozens of interesting stories of what happened in the past and many more lost to history.

Not that it is hidden but how many people know that Port Arthur was founded and named for the founder of the Kansas City Southern Railroad? KCS today is trying to link with Canadian Pacific which if it happens, will be the only direct link railway system to join Canada, USA and Mexico. So possibly the most extensive north to south railway system in North America will be directly linked to the founding of Port Arthur, TX. Significant in US history? It should be but it likely won’t be and how many people even in this area know about it? How many people reading this forum?

Black history, White history, Mexican history in the USA, etc. is just all history…. about 99.5% of which has been or will be lost.
