My views on black history month

 As a black man taking American History, US History, African American History I & II, African American Literature, and American Government courses from 19-28 I was brainwashed to believe that blacks were whites slaves at community colleges that I've attended and private Christian college. It wasn't until I was 28 until an American Government professor at Capital Community college told the class about the party affiliation until I realized what the Republican party and Democratic party stood for.

You may ask what does this have to do with me being brainwashed. I will tell you why. The Republican party was for abolishing slavery and desegregation while the Democratic party was for keeping slavery in place and having schools, buses, restaurant bathrooms, etc, segregated. Blacks were hoodwinked in to believing the Liberal politics. It was actually blacks that owned slaves. The public and private schools taught the aforementioned courses above the wrong history.

Once I learned about the right history, I realized that not all blacks including myself grew up in the era where there were slavery and segregation. I grew up in a Interdenominational church where there were people of different races. Black men were married to white women and black women were married to white men.

Another thing that they taught was that the South was prejudice and the North wasn't which wasn't true. I'm from a state where they have history at the ancient burial of slaves in Hartford. Also, if I go to a certain area of my state in towns like Simsbury, Avon, Canton, Burlington, Farmington, etc, the people there will look at blacks strange and roll their eyes and act like they are not prejudice but they are and try to hide it. Whenever I go down south I feel the love and it is part of the main reason why I want to move down south. I love the southern accent. The southerners always say that they love my Yankee accent but I think that their accent is really cool. 😎

Lastly, 18 years now not believing the brainwashing I think that black history month is repetitious of the same old thing that Democrats want to twist and believe that all black people suffered. Martin Luther King Jr's I Have A Dream speech is taken out of context to suit the Dems idea to focus on blacks being enslaved. I think if we are going to look at and focus on discrimination we need to look at people of every race because they got a story to tell, it's not only blacks that were discriminated. That is all for free speech on all topics. Till next time keep an eye out for more blogs like this. God Bless You!
