White people wrote your history books. Their history channels as well are told from the history books of White people have written. Their history books say Malcom X was simply assassinated by someone in the Nation of Islam, and that’s the end of that story for you. Their history books portrayed Columbus as a kind man who merely discovered America, to the point we celebrate days where we give thanks, and that’s the end of that for you. Their history books teach you Martin Luther King was assassinated by a racist white man, and that’s the end of that for you. Their history books portray to you the alleged existence of Jesus as a White man, and that’s the end of that for you. Their history books taught you that your people weren’t kings, and all the noses disappeared off of the heads of statues as they fell head first, and that’s the end of that for you. Their history books teach you that 9/11 was carried out by Osama Bin Laden, and not them as a false flag, where they’ve since killed Hundreds of Thousands into the Millions have died since the invasion for “Peace”, and that’s the end of that for you. Their History books taught you that your African people sold you into slavery, in the masses, and that it was a smooth transaction, and that’s the end of that for you. One of the things that have been mentioned here, may have been the end of a story for you, left there without question. From White people, who constantly lied to you, who continue to lie to you, and who will continue lying to you, how can one manage to take their history books as a legit source without question. What else, are they lying to you about. And what else have they hidden so well, that you’d even fight someone who brings you a different possibility, to protect what White people, the Killers of other races histories, have written as history.

The further down I read, the angrier the voice in my head got.
#BLACKHISTORYMONTH Be no fool! The History Books may tell you that Febuary is Black History Month (The shortest month of the damn year. The shade!!) But according to my God, EVERY month is Black History Month! Black History IS American History!!!
We learned white history all day, everyday in history class.
You know what I learned in history? Not a damn thing until I reached college… At least where I’m from anyway, read chapters 1-6, memorize these vocabulary words, and watch me...
Neofascist Fucking Shit Hell
Jesus Christ:
Under the same section, the old document read that “Many Europeans developed a belief in white superiority to justify their subjugation of Africans and American Indians, using several different rationales” (p. 35). In the new version, “white superiority” is deleted, and the line is changed to say that extended contact with Native Americans and Africans produced “evolving religious, cultural, and racial justifications for [their] subjugation” (p. 28).
They’re blaming black people for slavery.
Whenever I hear a racist (and I DO mean RACIST) talking about “Why isn’t there White History Month?” I agree with them.
Yes. Let’s start a White History Month.
Let’s have an entire month where we educate people about the hundreds of years of mass murder, slavery, rape,...
Of course not. Absolutely no they wouldn’t because they don’t want a month because they feel their history isn’t talked about enough or that they’ve been erased from discussions about this county’s foundation or existence. White people do not feel like people don’t recognize white inventors...
