Cali displays another instance of how liberals simply cannot think logically, or even rationally. Let's accept his premise, that all 12 months are "white history" months by default because of racism - ok, extremely far-fetched, but this is merely assuming arguendo - and then work out the actual implications of "stealing" one of those months and, by governmental, socialist fiat, declaring it "black history month." What, exactly does that do? Basically, it does nothing but balkanize history on the basis of an utterly irrelevant characteristic, because, now, every white racist is simply going to say, "keep your black history where it belongs, in February, and leave the other 11 months to us white racists. We're going to officially rename those 11 months 'white history months.'"
Congratulations, Cali, you've just effectively created 11 "white history months" that will forever more be strictly "white history months" and you've made it impossible for the reasonable amongst us to get rid of racial divisions by focusing on history according to the content of the souls of those who made history, not on their exterior colours.
Cali - why do you white racists always have to ruin everything for the rest of us?
Oh, not so fast...we women get the month of March. That means all the white male misogynous chauvinists only get 10 months. But for all you racist DUmmies who come over here to see if we're talking about you (it's pretty pathetic when you're so insecure you consider it flattering when people make fun of you)...if you truly believed in equal rights you wouldn't condescend to give them a mere month for celebration (and the shortest one at that) because every single day is about American history. Blacks are woven into the fabric of this country Those I most admire are those who overcame their ancestors' extremely difficult beginnings, who came from deep poverty and embraced the very best this country has to offer becoming a truly vital and vibrant part of our nation.
But aren't you so benevolent, so giving, so caring (at least that's what you keep telling yourselves) because you've moved them off the plantation and into the city! Still, you absolutely refuse to see you've still kept them in bondage. Oh, you've built housing for them, but slum lords like
Valerie Jarrett rake in the government rent subsidies without ever being accountable to that government. How many tenements have plumbing that backs up, no heat, peeling lead paint, drug dealers and gang members that keep people prisoners in their own home. How much "hope" do you think that gives them. You demand something of your DEMOCRAT slum lords before you come wagging your finger at us.
Well, but you DO give them a check each month. How benevolent! Except that hasn't worked out so well has it? Unless you wanted the result to be the destruction of the black family. Why should a man take responsibility for his children when the government will give these women money every time they pop out another one? It's become so ingrained now that you have one generation after another becoming teenage mothers, quitting school and living on welfare, helpless and hopeless because it's all they know. Sons grow up thinking men have no obligation to their women and children. None of the men in their world consider it their moral (and loving) responsibility to care for their children. You want barefoot and pregnant? It isn't Donna Reed anymore...it's the inner city plantation your "war on poverty" has created. At least Donna Reed had a husband. I'd rather have a husband who loves me taking care of me than a government who doesn't even know I exist.
If you democrats had to give up your slaves, you sure found a way to keep them in bondage. Only this is worse, because their ancestors (and some of mine) fought hard for blacks to be truly free men, to have the same opportunities that you have. But in just a few generations you took everything: their work ethic, their strong families, their striving for a better life, their pride. Hell, you guys even own the teachers' union and can't even give them a decent education. Oh, I know the argument...evil Republicans won't give you enough money for these poor disadvantaged children. And by blaming us you don't have to take a long hard look at yourselves and see the damage you've wrought.
But just for a second lets pretend racism goes beyond not knowing the politically correct phrase of the moment and actually includes deeds as well. Why do inner city school districts (Washington DC, for instance) get more funding than other school districts and still provide a substandard education? What real, tangible amount would it take to make it as good as schools in other areas that do twice as well on half as much? These are important questions your side refuses to think about. But when your pet minorities actually find a solution (with tremendous success)...one that provides them with vouchers allowing them to go to the same private schools senators and presidents and other white elites' children do, your precious teachers' union and their enablers in the legislature rip it away. Okay but you gave them a whole month to talk about the guy who invented peanut butter and Malcolm X. Now that's compassion! Actually, sometimes the soft racism of liberal whites is more disgusting than that of the klan, at least the KKK doesn't pretend to care.
How about things that will truly be a hand up? How about jobs programs, technical training, daycare? How about supplemental income while they work those minimum wage jobs and get the experience they need to get the better paying jobs? How about REAL education instead of quotas? I know you can do it, the schools in the suburbs do, as do private schools and homeschoolers. How about making slum lords like Valerie Jarrett provide at least minimal living conditions while they're waiting for the chance to tear them down and build condos, or pull the government purse strings out from under them. Black people have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" NOT entitlements that take their freedom and their joy. You took from them the American dream and assuage your guilty conscience by calling anyone who doesn't agree with you "racist". At least that way you don't have to think about the sick and twisted world you've created out of your fake compassion. And as long as you can keep them poorly educated and convince them that saying "negro" is more racist than giving them just enough to exist but never the kind of real help that will allow them to climb out of their democrat-imposed condition you have a bonafide dependent voting block.
Oh, but you DID elect a black man president that show how progressive you are! Except this guy is only HALF black and truly is an AFRICAN American, being his daddy is from Kenya. He had a privileged (one might even say "white") upbringing in exclusive private schools and thus hasn't even had the TRUE black experience like, say Thomas Sowell, Janice Rogers Brown, or (gasp) Clarence Thomas. Not even any authentic slave blood. But the boy king is dark enough for you to believe you've come a long way, while saving your seething rage for those "uppity" blacks who actually pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps. Good Lord, if you don't put them in their place, next thing you know the whole damn inner city plantation will think they can take care of themselves.
But you're right, you do give them a whole 28 days. Boy you are such good white folk! Except you give women 31. Hmmm...wonder if that's because one of your hero's, Margaret Sanger, founder of your precious Planned Parenthood, was, like most of you, closet racists. I mean it was her that said, "The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." That's worth three extra days, isn't it? Besides, I don't believe you want to exterminate them...you'd lose a whole voting block.
