• When the attitudes towards the lives of 300 black children killed by gun violence in Chicago in the past three year are treated differently from 20 first graders killed in Newtown, Connecticut;

• When the conservative leaders of our country try to deny many blacks the right to vote through unnecessary voter ID laws and unnecessary IDs;

• When the prison system is overflowing with more black males than any other race or ethnicity.

• When many young black males have a direct pipeline from the school house to the jail house;

• When blacks who have completed their prison terms and paid their debt to society are disenfranchised from voting;

• When the black unemployment rate is almost twice that of the country's average;

• When the sub-prime mortgage industry targeted blacks causing a disproportionate number of blacks to lose their homes through foreclosure;

• When affirmative action is still needed to ensure a level playing field for blacks;

• When Trayvon Martin, an African American teenager, is shot and killed while returning home because of suspicious activity based on the color of his skin;

Until we perfect our union, rid it of racism, and Dr. King's dream of a beloved community becomes a reality, we will continue to need Black History Month. I only wish we could go far beyond Black History Month and cure what ails us as a society.

Forget black history; let’s talk about the black on black crime, on why they have more single parents and out of wedlock children, and lastly why they drop out of school more than any other minority group. All of these directly impact every other point you made.

We don't need a black history month, we need a black current events month.

The list proves how pathetic they are. But you're right, they should be history.

We need a black/hispanic history month.

Both those cultures are banning together to fight to have rights to live on the Liberal plantation. With full benefits including but not limited to:

Food Stamps
Section 8
EBT
ObamaPhones
ObamaCare
Cash grants
Free mass transit
Free time for CRIME and TV

It's anticipated before the 2016 election there will be additional FREE STUFF from the Liberal Government. Those freebies need to be included in the entitled package or bundle.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Taurus

Try hard not to let money or possessions come between you and a friend today, unless it's over something that has got to be sorted out before it goes any further. For instance, if someone owes you money and has consistently failed to pay it back, this is a good day for mentioning it to them and finding out what's going on. If necessary, you may have to be quite vehement.
