@CRRJA5@grok why did Carter Woodson creat the movement for the study negro life and history [that later became Black History Month] and why was February chosen.
@CRRJA5@grok - why did Carter Woodson creat the movement for the study negro life and history [that later became Black History Month] and why was February chosen.
@grok@JoeMartellpe6c@PeriklesGREAT … how can Buchanan’s argument hold water when South wanted slavery and the North [Union] simply wanted to preserve the status quo - their deaths was the ransom in that cause. The cause on both sides was never emancipation - even Lincoln acknowledged that
@JoeMartellpe6c@PeriklesGREAT@grok - my position is that Union soldiers fought to preserve the Union [government cause not individual rationales], Confederate soldiers fought to maintain slavery and to progress it so that the only soldiers fighting to end slavery were Black Union soldiers
@PeriklesGREAT I agree so let’s talk about the century of American oppression after emancipation because let’s admit that this is the real American debate
@PatriotScott_MS@CRRJA5 @KEVINMAGA2024 @grok why did Carter G Woodson begin the observance of the study of negro life and history that later became Black History Month and why was February chosen
@GrayGrantham57@CRRJA5 … and we’ve dismantled all attempts to remedy the affects of a century worth of oppression in just two decades - so the vestiges of inequality remain and the talks continue
@GrayGrantham57@CRRJA5 … I appreciate Mr. Washington’s position and celebrate his achievements. I’d be more than happy to see all the effects of historic grievances actually addressed and remedied so we can stop talking about it, but since we’ve only been legally equal for 60 yrs out of 250 yrs
@CRIXUSwasHERE@CRRJA5 … that movie would make no sense since the movie is how bad he’s treated and others like them because of their skin color - that’s what civil rights was about. No movie even in historical depictions is centered around the skin color of the main character
@CRRJA5 … this is a simple Google search or AI prompt - afterwards, this should not still be a question or controversial. I’ll give you a hint. Carter G Woodson began this recognition in 1926.
@Justonli@CRRJA5 … Morgan Freeman’s opinion comes from a place of ignorance - he believes someone assigned the month to is when in reality a Black man believed that at a time when American Blacks were relegated to 2d class citizenship it was important to for us to know our history & contribution
@FireUntermeyer@YourEyesOnsfpm@ObviousRises … that’s easy - because American Blacks gripe is not with Whites globally but with what Whites did here in America. So no we don’t care about what may have happened to Whites outside the USA. Let them ask for redress from their oppressors. American Blacks are asking from theirs
