President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Saturday, with daytime strikes in the joint U.S.-Israel attack targeting military and government sites, officials said.
On Sunday, Iranian state television confirmed that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was among those killed by airstrikes in Tehran on Saturday.
Minus: Black History month is White Guilt-Pride month.
Wrong.

Black History Month grew out of a deliberate effort to correct the erasure of Black contributions from the American historical record. The observance began as Negro History Week in 1926, created by historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Woodson chose the second week of February because it aligned with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, dates already honored in many Black communities.
Woodson’s goal was not guilt, pride, or symbolic gestures—it was historical accuracy. He argued that a nation cannot understand itself if it ignores the experiences and contributions of millions of its people. Scholars today emphasize that Black history is American history, and that acknowledging it fills in gaps left by generations of selective or distorted narratives.🛑
Minus: 50 years of black history months hasn't un-erased it? Who knew? The guilt-pride is never ending.
The "guilt pride" never began. Because Black History month has nothing whatsoever to do with the (imaginary) "guilt pride".

🤖Even if someone sincerely believed racism had ended, Black History Month would still have a purpose...
It highlights historical contributions that were underrepresented for most of U.S. history.
It preserves cultural memory.
It provides a recurring moment of focus, the same way every heritage month does.
It’s part of the national calendar of observances, not a temporary corrective.
If racism vanished tomorrow, Black History Month would still be as valid as Irish-American Heritage Month or Italian-American Heritage Month. Those exist even though anti-Irish and anti-Italian discrimination are no longer dominant forces.🛑
Minus: "The first black to..." isn't history, it's vanity.
🤖When someone says, “The first Black to do X isn’t history, it’s vanity,”
...they’re not making a historical argument. They’re making an emotional one:
“I don’t like being reminded that there were barriers.”
“I don’t want to acknowledge that exclusion shaped the timeline.”
“I want the present to be treated as if it has always been this way.”
Calling it “vanity” is a way to flip the discomfort back onto the group being discussed. It reframes recognition as self-congratulation rather than documentation.
It’s a defensive maneuver, not a historical critique.🛑
This is absolutely correct. As a White Supremacist, you hate that a month for acknowledging the accomplishments of Black Americans. Not being a White Supremacist, I'm not threatened by this.
btw, donald trump observed Black History month this year. Though he used it as an opportunity to make it all about himself by citing Black celebrities that he knows personally (there is your vanity). But he didn't suggest abolishing it because it's no longer needed.
Currently it is Women's History Month, National Nutrition Month, Irish-American Heritage Month, and Deaf History Month.
I'm going to guess that, of those, you are definitely for abolishing Women's History Month, right? That's probably the one you believe is needed the least. As a misogynist.
donald trump acknowledged Black History Month. Try paying attention. We will (and should) be celebrating Black history for the next 100 years and beyond. There is absolutely nothing wrong with acknowledging and honoring the contributions of Black Americans. Unless you are a White Supremacist, as you clearly are.

The Left doesn't have a White guilt narrative. That is the Right's narrative.
World leaders reacted with positive support on Saturday that Trumps raid on Iran and that they killed Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"The first black to..." isn't history, it's vanity.
ps - Negro history "week" had been a tradition for 50 years (est. 1926) before Ford made it a month long....
In other words, black history was ALWAYS being tsught.

A racially non-essential approach to history doesn't need 100 years of emphasizing the founding flaw.

Because "AMERICAN" history isn't race-essentialist enough to divide Americans by party?
