Black Grievance Month Gets Off to Delicious Start

By Colin Flaherty

For the connoisseur of racial grievance, Black History Month is off to a delicious start.

 

Let’s start with you: You didn’t know February was Black History Month? Shaking my damn head or SMDH -- which is the standard response on Twitter to anyone who says Michael Brown of Ferguson fame was a thug who never had his hands up; never said don’t shoot; never got shot in the back; and never was much of anything except a dope-smoking symbol of bogus racial grievance.

 

Congressman John Conyers had that figured out a long time ago. He was breaking it down for a Congressional committee last year about why black people are arrested, convicted and sent to prison more often than white people. “With enough time and officers in a certain location, it is only a matter of time before they find reasonable suspicion to stop, detain and arrest someone -- or many people,” said Conyer.

Cries of Racism Against Little League Go Foul

By Tom Bevan - February 13, 2015

 

Suddenly, Chicago’s feel-good story of 2014 doesn’t feel so good any more. Instead, it feels awful. On Wednesday, Jackie Robinson West (JRW), the all-star, all African-American Little League team from the city’s South Side that captured the hearts of Chicagoans by making it all the way to the Little League World Series championship game before losing to South Korea, was stripped of its U.S. title for knowingly using ineligible players.

 

The prize for this sort of thing went, not surprisingly, to Karen Lewis, head of the Chicago Teachers Union. Attempting to sound outraged, but actually coming across as outrageous, Lewis demanded that the Little Leaguers who benefited from the chicanery of their coaches be rewarded financially. “I stand with parents, youth, teachers and community members who are outraged by this Black History month smack in the face by people with no regard for the young lives impacted by this,” Lewis said in a written statement. “Jackie Robinson West should retain its title, be issued an apology, and every player should receive full-ride scholarships for college sponsored by the people who have humiliated these boys, their families and their community.”

I'm still amazed February after February goes by, and nobody complains that Black History Month is relegated to the shortest month of the year.

 

SMDH.

only reason I think it's in Februday so "history" can cover all of the month

The only shorter Month for celebrating would be Important Muslim Contributions to the United States of America.

 

It could match the number of Muslim Nobel Prize Awards.

The Ferguson protest movement: Ripe For The Plucking.

It’s like watching a horror movie, really. Admittedly, one where you’re not really emotionally invested in who lives and who dies, but there’s still that sense of Yeah, don’t go into the cellar. Yup, you went into the cellar. Fine, let’s get this over with. Here we go:

 

The next move after expressing anger in the street is often the hard part for new civil rights groups. Do they seek changes in the law? Push to elect sympathetic candidates? Focus on winning over those who aren’t yet on their side? Or pull back from the moment and get radical, pressing for wholesale social change? http://www.redstate.com/2015/02/20/ferguson-protests-activism-democrats-betrayal/
