Black History Month was first officially recognized in our nation’s bicentennial year, 1976, by Republican president Gerald Ford. He encouraged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Indeed, in that era, those accomplishments were largely unrecognized if not intentionally neglected.

Unfortunately, in the decades since, Black History Month has been coopted by the Democrat Party’s legions of race-bait hate-hustlers, mostly suburban “white privilege” Demos who have enabled the degradation of Martin Luther King’s “dream” into a living nightmare.

What started as a good and noble effort to recognize achievements, has been spun into hyphenated-American political fodder. It is now a prop for the Demos’ promotion of their “systemic racism” lie. Some leftist race-baiters have even asserted that because Black History Month is February, the shortest month of the year, that is evidence of “systemic racism.”

President Ford's intent and reasoning are still valid. As for your thoughts on Democrats, I will give them the attention they deserve.

Because Mr. So we'll says it, doesn't make it true. Posting this is just your own confirmation bias.
