The conservative Republican entertainer in Florida, opines: "Alas, another Black History Month...or as the left likes to view it, their annual 'Opportunity To Exploit Race Month.' It is the month in which liberals attempt to convince us that race relations in America have progressed very little since the days of police unleashing dogs on civil rights activists. Rather than presenting a balanced, honest look at black history, leftist schoolteachers and the media say America is still racist and whites should feel eternally guilty. Also included in the left's message is that blacks must continue to vote monolithically for Democrats in order to keep rich white Republican racists at bay. Yes, for the most part, Black History Month is a propaganda tool of the Democratic [P]arty."
He continues his commentary: "Black history is woven with remarkable blacks who strove for excellence and achieved major success. Knowledge of such black pioneers would inspire black youths and help them realize how blessed they are to be born in America, the greatest land of opportunity on the planet. America is unique in that you can grow beyond your family history and humble beginnings. Most folks around the world are destined to walk in their parents' footsteps. If your dad was a peasant worker, you will be a peasant worker. In America, countless hugely successful blacks came from humble beginnings. This is why it so offends me to hear black politicians and the media constantly telling blacks that they are not functioning on an equal playing field. Such rhetoric inspires resentment, hopelessness, and a 'why should I try' attitude in black youths. Consequently, 70% of black youths drop out of high school, and many enter a life of crime. These self-serving black politicians are selling their lie to black America solely for political reasons -- to keep blacks voting for their supposed saviors and avengers, the Democrats."
More: "Black History Month should not just feature 'how America done us wrong.' It should also celebrate the greatness of our extraordinary nation and how both blacks and whites sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears to make things right. Rather than Black History Month being exploited as a divisive tool for extortion, allow the truth of our history to bring people together."
