"American History should be celebrated all year round" ( or some dumb shit like that) will be the rallying cry.

13119783, if they could teach history in its entirety that would fine

Buuut that'll never happen
13119780, I told my wife I could see MLK Jr Day being challenged under Trump
Posted by benny, Tue Jan-31-17 09:08 AM
I said this in early January, before the inauguration. At the time I was thinking slow erosion, but now with reading more about Sessions (who I already knew was not copacetic when he got nominated) and all the stuff Trump has done in a short time-frame I could see things accelerating. I mean there are still states where they don't celebrate the day, and opponents have all the fallacious arguments ready to roll. Fox News just waiting for the word to launch their assault
13119781, I dunno, the south still has Robert E Lee day. I feel like they're sufficiently
Posted by FLUIDJ, Tue Jan-31-17 09:12 AM
appeased on that front.

13119782, I hope you're right...

13119784, The plan would be to keep REL's day and remove MLK's
Posted by Atillah Moor, Tue Jan-31-17 09:22 AM
13119786, I think this would come into play in only the few states that celebrate
Posted by FLUIDJ, Tue Jan-31-17 09:26 AM
it on the same day. There's only like 3 or so that do I believe.
Would suck still though.

13119790, We don't need validation to celebrate and acknowledge our history
Posted by MEAT, Tue Jan-31-17 09:29 AM
White people been trying to erase our visible existence since they kidnapped us.
So if the racist and white supremacist government tries to say that there's no black history month, we should treat them the same as when they say there's no climate change

Our history was paid for in free labor and blood. If you try to take away that, were coming with receipts.
13119865, paper don't cut well enough and sadly at this time
Posted by Atillah Moor, Tue Jan-31-17 11:18 AM
SUM BOTTIE GOTTA GET CUT!!
13119874, "Black History Month" with become "All-American History Month"
Posted by flipnile, Tue Jan-31-17 11:26 AM
I mean, why should Black people get their own month, and everyone else doesn't? Black history month is racist, actually.

13119981, Press secretary just shouted out black history month
