 Explain this note,  this lack of taste, awareness, education  and compassion. 
 That's the idea... The idea of any race or culture having a history month is weird...  
 Ahh .. So ..” Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.” 

Not any “race” was enslaved. That’s your kind of Humor? Pathetic, Dude. 
 I mean all months should be all races history months....

 Just look up Denzel Washington's opinion on black history month. He thinks it's ridiculous and he makes great points. 

All months should reflect all people's history equally! 

I'm Hispanic and that's the way I see it. ✌🏽 
 Sorry if I offended you. It was not my intention. I agree with the message about black history month. But it shouldn't be only one month. It should be ALL MONTHS.  Same for everyone else. 🙏🏽 That's what I'm really saying here.


  
 Then say it, please. Clear and Unmistakable. Some snippets of an IV and  Morgan, an actor who def does not represent the majority of Black Ppl in the US , is cheap fishing for attention and rage. I am calm but I am not your idiot in your game to proof that you can apologise or ..have something to say . I organised Black History Month with 15 Berlin Institutions, big theatres and Cinemas, Also with the Berlinale. To criticise how  it’s executed is lame -for Morgan too, sorry Bro. I pick up a most common saying here : if you dint like it, build it better . 
 Phishing for rage wasn't my intention. It was an April fools joke. 

Fair enough. I appreciate what you do. It's certainly more than I've ever done. I guess my only suggestion is to do what you do every month. 

Slavery is and was terrible. Black history was terribly thought in school. I didn't learn about Tulsa Oklahoma until  after college and that's a shame! History is terribly misrepresented in American schools. That's the point I was trying to make. 

I'll be better and not make crass jokes without being clear about the message. 

Feel free to call me out on my B.S. anytime!
ANYTIME. 

I'm glad you found my joke distasteful btw. Rage wasn't my intent. 🙏🏽 
 Good point.

Do you think that native americans does also deserve a history month? What about hispanic or  asian americans?

 
 Native Americans definitely deserve a more accurate representation in history.

This country is based on genocide/slavery and the theft of land and resources by aggressive non peaceful expansion through false premises of diplomacy throughout the Americas and other impoverished countries. Period. 

It's sad but true. 

I hope Bitcoiners can fix this by trading and exchanging goods and services on equal footing!!! It's the only way forward.  
 Every country is based on genocide, slavery and theft. It isn't long ago when europe was 30% slaves. 
 Yea some more than others. Bitcoin fixes this.
