Black People : I have grown to DETEST "Black History Month"

[Ionlyspeaktruth]

In it's current format, that is. First let me say that I grew up in an AFROCENTRIC home. We were taught about our TRUE history. this was a bit unusual at that time. In my parents home Marcus garvey, MalX and Bro kenyatta were among many icons. So, while I overstand the concept of "Black History Month" and agree with it one could go almost a whole month and NEVER here of many of our great ancestors. They trot out the same folk (nothin but love and respect for them) and make you think that our struggle began in 1960. calling them "Afrikan Amerikkkans", (another term that I detest, but thats for another forum) talking about the "Civil Rights movement" as if it was not and has not always been WAR! A war against an INHUMAN MONSTER (learn the origin of the word HUMAN) You hear almost NOTHING about AGFRIKANS who slashed the throats of there DEVIL slavers. Almost nothing about AFRIKANS in AFRIKA that led glorious revolutions. Nothing hardly about AFRIKANS in what is now called Europe. In short...... It is NOT teaching our youth either our TRUE history, Our bravery, Our inovative, WORLD shaping inventions. It is turning into a commercial, homogenized, "We are the World" type BS! So, I am gonna spend it spreading the TRUTH and the word about The Most Highs CHOSEN people. The AFRIKAN!

I did sis. And thank you for reminding me. I jist called my friend at public radio to get it for me. Trust me , i am going to talk about a lot of uncomfortable subjects, such as the seeds of homosexuality aka the rape of the Male Afrikan Slave.

I agree. The concept of what is "african history" is given to us by others. That's why I take things like Black History month, and CNN specials of "Black in America" with a grain of salt.
