I disagree. You're not offering a better alternative. That's the difference between a real political argument and rhetorical noise.
Let's say you ran for office on the platform of eliminating Black History Month. How far do you think you'd get? Do you think your message that Black History Month is racist would resonate with the people you're trying to help?
- H0n3sty 11y agoThe political platform would not be eliminating Black History Month, it would be fully integrating Black History into our classrooms in every month. Changing the lessons and more adequately representing the history of black achievement in America. My message would not be that Black History Month is racist, but that it's time we integrated our history. Do you think this could resonate with voters? We integrated our schools, communities, military, etc,... why not our history?
- vinceguidry 11y agoOk, now you need to distill those wishes into a policy proposal. How would "integrating our history" look on a piece of legislation? On an executive order?
