12716954, Revamping Black History Month
Posted by John Forte, Tue Feb-03-15 11:39 AM
There's only 28 days, and frankly shit is getting kinda stale and bloated. Some of these old-timers gotta relinquish their day and make way for some new blood.

with the recent rise in peanut allergies, should we really be celebrating this mass-murderer? Lonnie Johnson gets his spot.

12716963, So now you're playing the systematic racist White Man huh?
Posted by Case_One, Tue Feb-03-15 11:43 AM
You are trying to steal our heritage and erase the memories of our forefathers and ancestors.
This is some ignat mess. You don't see White people talking about getting rid of historical figures to make way for new ones.
I'm need the DROP SQUAD to come check you.

12717107, Revamping = What new traditions can be created, instead of triviastyle facts
Posted by Riot, Tue Feb-03-15 12:52 PM
Replacing old trivia with new trivia is fine, but doesn't solve the bigger problem
So what'dwe got?
Another buycott?
A mascot, like smart brotha from undercover brother?
There's a few BHM celebrations coming up
Gonna see if there are any creative ideas there worth blowing up
