Black History Month!

[butterfly1964]

Everybody makes fun of you man, and that's pretty much an hourly thing with all of us on here. But we do that in a private section of the forums that you don't and never will have access to.

that's brutal.

that's brutal.

Yeah, you think that's brutal?

Well I was going to tell you what the Butterfly topic of the hour was, but now that I think about it, it might be best if I abide by mother's saying of "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all"...Don't want to hurt anybody's feelings or nothing.

I made the most of my ability and I did my best with my title.

========= sullivan, fitsimmons, corbett, and jeffries were all racist.========

** Jack Johnson was more racist. You should study up on the 3 black HOF heavies he avoided giving title shots to and he had many more title defenses than did Fitz and Corbett. At any rate, Fitz fought black fighters and there was no credible black contender available for him to defend against. Jeffries also gave Griffin a chance in a non title fight. Had Jeff lost his title would have been worthless. You know, Griffin, the guy who whipped Jack Johnson.

Are you racist, or do you just make up accusations for amusement?

This is black history month, so i will show biographies and photos of the three black heavyweights, that were the most important to black equality and civil rights, first jack johnson, then joe louis, then finally muhammad ali!

jack johnson

joe louis

muhammad ali

** Don't see how Johnson advanced black civil rights at all and many if not most black leaders back then felt the same way. Ali was a black seperatist during his title reign and a member of a militant black cult that opposed the work of MLK.

They may be heroes to modern black folk, but only Ali could have said to redeem himself by his work and his life.

Black history month is a disgrace.



It's as if to say that because blacks have been marginalized for centuries we will offer one month of remembrance to them and that makes it ok.


Who the **** said black history could fit in a month. Why not 6 months, or 11. Or black history year.


Its not like I forgot the same lame ass Martin Luther King Documentary that PBS did last year, and this year, do I really need to see it next year.


No, black history month is a sham, invented by white people to further marginalize and embarass black people.


Ever wonder why Al Sharpton ran for President and not Colin Powell ??? Equality is a sham that white people have fooled black people into believing can exist or ever will exist.

Back in school I always found this BH month boring. It was required, but mostly teachers were cool and didnt force it.
