"FROM THE DESK OF THE NATURAL MAN"
LET'S TALK HISTORY...HERE'S SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT...
America was founded on WHITE SUPREMACY
THE NATION'S FOUNDERS BELIEVED IN WHITE SUPREMACY, and they were not ashamed to say so.
The first slaves arrived here in 1619. Between 1619 and 1865, Virginia passed more than 130 slave statutes to regulate the ownership of Black people. A 1662 law made all children of enslaved mothers slaves, regardless of the father’s race or status, so that rape by white slave-masters couldn’t create a free child. A 1667 law codified that slaves who converted to Christianity were still slaves. A 1669 law allowed slaves to be killed for resisting authority.
The wording of the law regarding Christianity is revealing. The slave-masters would claim Christian piety in their acts of enslavement:
WHEREAS some doubts have arisen whether children that are slaves by birth, and by the charity and piety of their owners made partakers of the blessed sacrament of baptisme, should by virtue of their baptisme be made free… the conferring of baptisme doth not alter the condition of the person as to his bondage or freedom;
Virginia didn’t have a monopoly on horrible slave laws. In 1740, South Carolina passed a comprehensive slave code with 57 provisions “so that the slave may be kept in due subjection and obedience.” Provisions included making it a crime for slaves to grow or possess their own food, gather in groups, or learn to read.
In 1755, Georgia required all plantation owners and their white employees to serve in the state militia, which was responsible for enforcing slavery. Joseph Clay, a Savannah merchant, described the role of slavery in 1784, saying, “The Negro business is a great object with us. It is to the trade of this country as the soul is to the body, and without it, no house can gain proper stability.”
Forty of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence owned slaves. Under the Constitution, a slave was counted as three-fifths of a free person. Ten of the first 12 presidents owned slaves. This is who we were as the United States became a nation.

Every Day In America Should Be Black History Month
But you need some history to understand this…Because if America were really about anything significant, it would celebrate Blackness, every day, all day, since they haven’t had the decency to pay us that 40 acres and a mule they promised back in the day. They could at least treat us decently, promoting the idea we would be celebrated for our efforts, even if we aren’t acknowledged in any other way.Without us, America would be just another broke-ass first world country without elevators, streetlights,brooms,combs,telephones, cotton gins and a fuck-ton of free labor lasting well over two hundred years (1619 to 1863, give or take). I know ,I know many say ...come on "NATURAL MAN" it's our month - right?STRAIGHT BULLSHIT! When Black Apologists say the past is the past and we should get over it, I hang my head in shame for their ignorance. It is clear that such people are given a pulpit to speak because it promotes the ideals so necessary for the system of disenfranchisement we live under to continue.We can accept that stupid people will say stupid things and move on, or we can stand up and fight for what we know to be right.
"Today, the game has changed but the underlying message is still the same.You can’t compete. We won’t let you. We don’t say no. We just don’t say yes, either." I have no use for Black History Month. You cannot give me what I have already earned. Our history is more than a month given to appease us. In the meantime remember this: I will not be stopped. Not now. Not ever. Keep Black History Month for yourselves. I claim the YEAR, all three hundred and sixty five and a quarter days of it to reminding you WE ARE STILL HERE. You pink people said it yourselves "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH" No our history can not just lumped into month...just something to think about.
