Non-blacks that are only beginning to recognize black history and then get aggravated by the fact that "Blacks" have their "own month" need to be educated about American History before they can think to even disregard or degrade what not having any "Black History" lends itself to: the eradication Global History. Now this article is a little longwinded, but the wise will completely read it.
It is high time that the record gets straight as to what African American History represents. First this article is not about the Africans that were taken out of their inhabitant in the rich natural soils of Africa and then enslaved by Europeans. Nor is it about how some Africans were tricked and or sold by brethren, Jews and Arabs to be used as cattle in the Western Hemisphere: a transition that not only separated a people from their land, but their families, culture and language. It is an undeniable truth that not 6,000,000 million, but 10’s of millions of Africans and their decedents were brutalized for the sake of using them as labor, for breeding, their blood and experiments.
The article is about the importance of how what African American or Black History has become does not lend justice of what should be expressed about the positive and productive input of black people in ways that unite world citizens. Instead, it seems to help keep the same people enslaved mentally since most of the history propagated is redundant and in reference to actual slavery. For over 200 years, in America and around the world African descendents have help create some of the most impacting upon society discoveries, creations, architecture and endless historic educational imprints that go unnoticed in the school systems throughout the world and within the households of its own people because they do not know their empowerment and the important constructs that their ancestors have made in the world; for the world. Citizens globally, well at least mostly in America, are constantly bombarded with the same references to the same historic black individuals, which if one didn’t know better would think that those individuals are truly the only signifigant accomplishments of people from African descent. Honestly, if you hear again reference to Obama being a representation of what “blacks” can accomplish, then by all means, send them to this article and or visit a few of my links through the link below entitled “follow me here”. The statement is old and inaccurate to use Obama as a reference to blacks having become President as “the accomplishment of black people. Really, anyone with training and a great political connection and campaign can become President of the United States.
Here’s an example of an individual, you will never hear about in any private school more or less a city one in America. You can let me know by your comments how many of you have even heard of him. Let me say this as a starter. This man, “a black” was so powerful as an educator, he was sent BACK to AFRICA. Get that, EXILED to Africa after receiving a P.H.D. in 1790.
FIRST GERMAN AFRICAN to GET A P.H.D.
And “Black History” continues to be made daily that is not taught in any school. What is rather interesting, it is only recently because maybe it is considered in these times not politically correct, but years ago, if a black man created a crime, it was always been blown up in the news that he was a black person, BUT, if a new discovery was made by an African American in science or medicine in the 21st Century, a world citizen would have to do research to find out that person was of Black African decent. Often, not even a picture would be attached. How do I know, I’m an article writer always on the prowl for information. Let’s take a look at the girlfriend, that I prefer to say, George Lucas woman, who is black. Do you know her background? What crossed your mind when you heard or saw that she was black? Did you research to see if she was cute? Why? What about checking to see how she dressed or her actress or model background? You’ve probably never seen any background ever written about her, until now. Until now- Here’s his woman’s historic story:
George Lucas Dates Black Woman and-
It is especially disturbing to me when I hear a Caucasian woman speak against the need for “Black History”, when some of her own male ancestors enslaved her sisters. See below just one-way how below.
White Women Tricked into Slavery
The first female African American multi-million not only purchased and lived in a mansion that was probably as big if not bigger than the White House Obama and Madame Michelle live in today, she created a product that is probably in your house right now. And she created this product before World War I. Everyone in media print and or advertising MUST use the product or one like it up to at least tomorrow.
The last I will say in this article, at don’t think I only write about African American men, is the fact that every aspect of service that is used with a buzzer sound, a black woman created the patent for it. Think ADT security systems. It was in the 1800’s and she was the first black woman to have a patent of any sort; at least, documented. Her invention was a chair that was IMMEDIATELY picked up for use in the United States Congress and MAJOR hotels. She’s just one of many African American’s that both patented, created and produced a product in use worldwide today. There were many stolen and or never documented properly and even in some cases those stories are documented.
Sorry to tell you that the reason why black history should be shutdown is not because it does benefit the world about history, but because in not truly publishing throughout the educational system the impact that blacks have made on the world was not being in ships shackled in waste and or next to dead diseased bodies, but the accomplishments that stay hidden from society, yet world society would not exist as it does without blacks and their history of events. This includes the black holocaust by the way that took more than 10 million lives as well. Oh. You never heard of it. The article below is the shorter version and only a small piece of the history.
American and African Soldiers Murdered in Concentration Camps- no assistance from their governments
Adding up the figures so far is calculated as more than 50 million Africans having been murdered in some form or the other. Look at the news over the years; believe if you feel best that the tens of millions that have died during our lives are doing it to themselves also and or only. The mathematical figure for the death of black people worldwide is way more than 100 million and still counting over the decades. Not to mention a system that keeps the massive people of color as Negroes in the 21st Century because of a culture they will never get back. Never.
Of course there is not a race of people responsible for the plight of American history’s distortion when it comes to properly documenting the impact of black life on it: just certain types. Allowing Blacks to live their full potential does not hurt the world or take away from other ethnic groups. It has been proven time after time over that African American’s when truly given, TRULY, given real opportunities to excel as immigrants get the opportunities to do through for example, funding from an embassy, which American blacks do not have, that could give them money to run businesses, – (you didn’t really think American blacks don’t own a lot of mom and pop stores today and or “own corporations” because they don’t know how to run.. er stuff? -, the world economy grows. A fact, believe it, like it or not.
If you truly want to know the truth about blacks history, its implications, you can follow me here. I am dedicating my time to talking about American History, that includes, men, women, all ethnicities and especially, untold historic stories about black citizens of the world.
Now of course, there is something to be said about the talented and sincere people that want to get information out about the African American experience. Our historic enslavement experience of course though is just one aspect of who we became against our will, not what we can be, who we are, what we are capable of and what we have done historically as groups of people and individuals.
If promoting, “Black History” means I have to see another “slave play” production about slavery or hear about Sojourner Truth, Martin, Rosa or lordie lord and now Obama for 100 years after he gets out of office, every five minutes as representation of “OUR” accomplishments, (bless you all), for “Black History” month, then Black History month, as far as I’m concerned, should be banned. There are tens of thousands of stories that can be shared about the history of established black input to society that make for the understanding of the human race. Use the dang 28 or 29 years in 2012 for sharing each year at least a tenth of those stories.

I appreciate the observance of Black History Month, mainly because I can remember a time when black history wasn’t taught at all in the school books. Our teachers gave us handouts, and that was usually just the teachers who cared enough to do it. If not for that, the only things that we would have touched on for sure were slavery and George Washington Carver. Teachers didn’t cover black inventors, lawyers, scientists, etc. Maybe things aren’t handled the way they should be now, but, the flaw is in that, not that Black History Month exists.
Good to learn about that… History is there to learn and not to repeat mistakes.
For sure. As is, it does more damage than good. All over the net people are getting irate because it exists; saying its preferential treatment. Go on you tube, a quite a few young adults who are Caucasian are very very agree that black history exists. And many younger and older Caucasians who only if that know the people I’ve mentioned and Carver lord forbid, that are short of making statements of lynching. Most people who are “privvy” to black history month get glimpses of the history of “slavery” and or images from the era. It leaves many to say, “why don’t “they” just get over it. And neither the African or other ethnicities, well in American get anything for only that portrayal in a COLLEGE.. which by the way I went to a private college that initially a class made reference to those times for educational purposes,,, yes in America, a major city, a very well known school… well before I got my dime in.
At any rate, I agree with you, but in part, yes the flaw is within that it exist as something separate… it is not… there lies the issue. By the way, no one ever tells, the “Jew” to just leave it alone… We died in the same camps. and we died in camps as a test for the “jewish concentration camps” Blacks were the first used in those same camps as experiments. Thanks for dropping by mphsglo and commenting.
THE BLACK HOLOCAUST
http://expertscolumn.com/content/germanys-black-holocaust
whatever happened to the native Americans? They seem to be completely ignored!
Tell me about it. I’m Cherokee. You didn’t expect that did you. Pure. So I understand who I am and the CONNECTION of who the Cherokee (and other “Indians”) or to the AFRICANS. At any rate, your comment/reaction to this article has made the exact point of what it is about. And I anticipate, their will be Jewish references, Asian… next. The article is about the eradication of BLACK history and the importance of THEIR descendents globally as people that help to build the continents. I suggest you write more on “Natives”. Personally, whatever I read, I try to stay away from opinion. It is only fair to the subject matter and get information from it that it is expression to analyze about it. While you were concentration on the natives not getting any play, how much did you learn from THIS article. Or was that only it? Your comment to hopefully at least 100,000 conscience people who will read this article during the next 10 or 20 years, will get it profoundly; confirmation about what “Black History Month” does to certain personality types. Thank you very much of helping to make it a reminder that until we grow from our infancy has humans,being categorize by people other than your own will always cause indifference maybe even jealousies. Black people need to express Black history in their own classrooms and not the media. The only reason there are not any black history dolls and other products is because from what is being projected, advertisers would have to back to the days of sambo and blackface. Or is that a representation of black people. Oh, that’s right, it’s another categorizing by other ethnic group. By the way, I write about NATIVES, everywhere. I’m sure since you are so interested in why the “Native American”, The AMERS are not spoken about that you also know about the Buffalo Soldiers. Let me know if you need one of my links on them. Our quest we need end by the end of time.
By the way Avissado, I’m thinking you’re probably aware that there is a NATIVE AMERICAN MONTH. And this is not to take away from my brothers and sisters, but I HOPE YOU DON”T THINK that what you see that is representation of “THE INDIAN” on the link I am sending you and others to is THE ORIGINAL LOOK of THE INDIAN…. this is AFTER more destruction of the land and people, their decendents. A fact! I hope this link will help your weekend be better:

And my sister’s hair was wavy and down to her butt… THick and KINKY (WAVY) and she looks like any other African American on the street. She’s chocolate and other girlfriend of ours NATIVE… her hair is down to her butt but thin and she is darker than I also.
BTW WAY I know Chief Blackfoot… do you… He is authentic and comes from an ORIGINAL LINEAGE… he looks closer to the attached link.
As a South African and oFIndian origin I think Black history should not be banned but be taught in a correct way to the new generation
It is for community leaders and scholars to keep the issues of the enslavement alive in Black History Month. Although, this history month is generally presented as that faced by those in the United States, many other ethnic groups around the world, were also enslaved and exploited. I however feel, such exploitation should be viewed in today’s terms as we look towards the future.
I have never thought black history should be taught as something separate. it should be incorporated into the whole piece and taught as ordinary history.
Idealistic, that’s the word…Black history should be taught as integral part of World History.But until that happens keep Black History Month. Yes the whole contribution of Black people to the World should be highlighted during Black History Month – not just slavery/civil rights (which was a major “victory” for African-Americans and hence for all People of Color). But to advocate to stop having Black History month because it doesn’t focus on every know fact about accomplishment of Blacks is extreme to say the least. If you believe all of these hiddens gems should be brought to light than by all means do so! But don’t advocate to close the only restaurant in town just because they don’t serve chocolate Buffalo Milk.
