re: Whites and Colored Entrance display at high school removed after criticism

I like how we are pretending that white isn't a color, and that "white people" are actually white and don't
Have a range of hues.

My child’s school for black history is asking kids to dress up as favorite African American person.

What could go wrong with asking white kids to dress up as black people?

"Offensive" has lost all meaning, much like racist has.

That shite was real, people need to see it. It's a reminder that we can't do that again. What's the saying about history? Yeah, that one.

This past weekend we saw "To Kill a Mockingbird" at the Broadway Theater League. The crowd was diverse, and they got to see a pretty cut and dry portrayal of the book. It was a great show that retained all the uncomfortable bits.

John Boy from the Waltons, Richard Thomas, played Atticus, and the lady who played the role of Scout in the original movie had a small role.

The reason this is being done is because of Black History Month and the perception by some who think it should mean constantly reminding everyone of slavery and Jim Crow. Perhaps if people weren't so determined to keep picking at old wounds they would eventually heal over.

You can’t discuss black history (in the US) without looking at slavery and Jim Crow. Would be like discussing American History and skipping the Civil War.

You should see how many people in the poli board said they would not vote for Obama because he was black.

Is that any different from people voting for him just because he was black?

I was told by a white female LSU law student that black people cannot be racist

A white leftist would say that and are ideologically addled enough to believe it.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be discussed, but it's time to move away from it being the core identity of Black History month. More focus should be on the positivity of blacks who have meaningfully contributed to society like Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, etc. rather than continually focusing on the negative (which ends up fueling the perpetual victim mentality just like DEI does).

I will never forget Maurice Staley telling us he smoked two blunts before our game against WC.

Then he single-handedly crushed us and I think his feet were 5 feet off the ground when he jumped for passes. His quarterback was okay.
