Black History Month......Colored Man....

[Avante]

....gets me thinking about that.....the first black to ever....?

Doug Williams out of Grambling was the first and only black NFL QB to win a Superbowl, he was a Redskin.

Jerry Levias was the first black to play in the old SWC, he was a wide receiver at SMU (Chargers later on)

Harmonica wizard DeFord Bailey was the first black to perform on the Grand Old Opry.

The first "Classic" book written by a black American author...The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man...James Weldon Johnson 1912 (in my library)

First black to record a blues tune....."Crazy Blues"....Mamie Smith 1920.

First black to win an academy award....Butterfly McQueen (guess what movie?)

First black to win the Olympic 100m....Eddie Tolan 1932 (Howard Drew probably would have turned the trick in 1912 if not for an injury, he was the first black sprinter to hold a sprint WR)

First black to gain a 1000 yards in an NFL season....Joe "The Jet" Perry Niners.

First black to win a world championship in boxing....George "Little Chocolate" Dixon...way way back when. Cat had over 800 fights. Sometimes fighting twice in one day.

First black to hold a pro rasslin' world championship.....Bobo Brazil.

Ernie Davis a Syracuse running back the first black to win the Heisman. Second was Bob Ferguson another running back out of Ohio State.

First black NFL QB to start a game....Willie Thrower (dead serious)...out of Michigan State. I'm thinking 1952, 53?

First black to play MLB....it wasn't Jackie Robinson, so who was it really?

First NCAA Champion basketball team to start five black players, Texas Western (UTEP)

First black USA president....Obama.

First black Heavyweight Champion of the World....Jack Johnson.

First black to ever sing on record.....

Now before somebody says.......who cares about that sort of thing? Watch what you'll hear if Russell Wilsn wins the Superbowl, yep......the second black QB to win a Superbowl.

As we can see, unlike the 100m there have been non black sprinters among the best at the 200m distance. The reason being it doesn't take that same level of explosiveness here it's speed plus speed endurance.

Good one slugger.


E.McDonald Bailey (who died recently) was the first geat Trini sprinter, he was a 100 WR/Oly medalist.

George Lewis was also a world record holder.

Mike Agostini was a rarity, a white sprinter from Trinidad,he ran at Fresno State, one of the worlds best in the 50's.

Edwin Roberts ran at NCC and was a 1964 Olympic 200m medalist.

Hasley Crawford ran for Eastern Michigan, he was the 1976 Oly 100m gold medalist.

Marc Burns (Auburn) Kleston Bledman, Richard Thompson (LSU)..all sub10.00 guys

Ato Boldon who competed for UCLA holds both the Trini records in the 100/200.

Why just one month? Shouldn't people be allowed to celebrate black history any month? Shouldn't people be allowed to celebrate it or not celebrate it whenever they want? Why should society be allowed to tell people when they can celebrate something? This is a deliberate move financed by the big banks and the globalists just so they can continue to empower the NWO. Wake up people.

Nope, that Ben Johnson ran in the 80's and was a Jamaican born Canadian. His 1988 Olympic 100m win over Carl Lewis still one of the most amazing sprints ever, juiced to the gills or not.

Columbia's Ben Johnson was one of the best sprinters in the world in the 30's, beating the great Jesse Owens more than once.

I don't care if there was a white history month. I think there shouldn't be a white history month. We shouldn't celebrate people's physical appearances and sexual activities. That includes everyone. I mean you shouldn't get praise because you are a certain color or because of who you fuck. You should get praise because of your talent and skill. Everyone is always talking about equality but no one ever really wants it. I think the only way that we could even get close to equality is if we were somehow able to suppress our emotions or at least a large percentage of them. If we did that, racism, sexism, ageism, bigotry, jealousy, envy, and hate would be significantly reduced. Personally, I'd love to have maybe 50 to 75 percent of my emotions suppressed because it would be awesome to not be worrying about all of sorts of stupid shit and constantly being worried.

Couldn't disagree more. For some reason that I will never understand some people think we need to play stupid ass games about the..OBVIOUS... difference in us humans. While it's perfectly cool to talk about the differences in all other living things. A Cheetah is the fastest cat....cool! The Greyhound is the fastest dog...cool! Those from western Africa are the fastest humans.....what??????? Fuck the fact it's been proven over the last 100 years, we have to...."oh no it's about culture and....BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! it's about unique physical characteristics only found in those with roots in western Africa.

I don't want to pretend we are all the same, because we aren't and it ain;'t got a damn thing to do with skin color, it's about a different mind and physique. You ever seen an Asian in the welfare office or on skid row,....me either. You ever seen a black goalie in hockey? How about a fast white female American sprinter in the last 50 years? Hell yes we are different so why play silly games?

Show me a white, Asian, Middle East, Mexican who can do this?

America’s first slave owner was a black man.

Actual drawing of Anthony Johnson. America’s first slave owner.
According to colonial records, the first slave owner in the United States was a black man.

Prior to 1655 there were no legal slaves in the colonies, only indentured servants. All masters were required to free their servants after their time was up. Seven years was the limit that an indentured servant could be held. Upon their release they were granted 50 acres of land. This included any Negro purchased from slave traders. Negros were also granted 50 acres upon their release.

Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to the US to work on a tobacco farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm perished in the attack. He married a female black servant while working on the farm.

When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a “free Negro” and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to release John Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was extending his time. Casor left and became employed by the free white man Robert Parker.

Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654. In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson could hold John Casor indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own slave of their own race. Thus Casor became the first permanent slave and Johnson the first slave owner.

Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as an indefinite slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial*assembly*passed legislation permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as slaves.

By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a “Negro insurrection.” Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former black slaves.

However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.

By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.

You .."da man"...that was a great read and I learned something, thank you!

We all know about Jimmy "The Greek" losing his tv gig for saying ....they'd take that big buck and pair him up with that stout black woman so their babies would be strong workers"....something like that. Well that was.......yikes! did he really say that???

Gus Cannon was the leader of the Cannon Jug Stompers a cool three piece jug band. He was born in the 1880's, his father was a slave (or had been one). In the liner notes to a CD featuring all their stuff Gus talks about....."my daddy told me about how the owners would pick the biggest man and the strongest woman and they'd have a cabin of their own"...now this guy had no reason to be talking shit.


See that above exchange, and how all of you just learned something? How about cooling the usual ClipperNation/Blake/johnsmith/ChumptyDumpty type bullshit, which is saying nothing and actually talk like an intelligent adult, is it possible? Why this overwelming need to never want to add anything to your arsenal here...???????

inb4 but why isn't there a white history month?!:cry

let me drop this ether off right here:


White History Month… I forgot it was February 1st today until I logged-on to Twitter and saw “Happy Black History Month” trending. I clicked on the trending topic to see what people were saying, and, inevitably, there were already tweets from white people—mostly young, mostly male—asking why there is no white history month. Do we really have to have this conversation every year? I ask that more in rhetorical angst than anything else, knowing very well that we, indeed, must have this conversation, every year, every day, every moment, as long as it needs to happen. But still.


I guess at this point in my life, I am not surprised by the blinding affects white privilege has on certain people, as I am very regularly confronted with this phenomenon. I get it, someone—especially and specifically a young white male—living in, and benefitting from, a society with institutionalized systems of domination (race, gender, sexuality, nationalist imperialism) might find it difficult to hear any other realities outside the privileged microcosm in which they live. However, what I do find frustrating amongst certain groups of white folks is their lack of acknowledgment—or even awareness—that these power structures have been, and still are, the controlling systems that dictate so many aspects of how we live in America.


Why don’t we have a white history month? Well, as Tim Wise effectively put it in his lecture Pathology of White Privilege (http://thoughtsofbrown.com/2011/12/09/tim-wise-the-pathology-of-privilege/), “We don’t have white history month because we have several. They go by the names of May, June, July, August, September; pretty much any month that we have not designated as someone else’s month, that’s white history month. But we take it for granted, because we don’t have to know other folks’ reality. That’s a privilege.”
Many white males—and white people in general—”don’t understand” this concept because nothing in their lives has ever caused them to have to understand it. They live blissfully unaware of what it might be like to live as a member of a group that is completely disenfranchised by the institutionalized systems of domination that they have been conveniently a part of since birth, yet they often adamantly, and pompously, attempt to invalidate the narratives of individuals from those disenfranchised groups when those individuals speak about injustices they face. These particular white folks are unmindful to the fact that, when white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchy is the “norm,” it would be absurd to have designated days or months or events celebrating it, because every day is in fact a celebration of these dominant cultures. As one Twitter user (https://twitter.com/BIade_Runner) put it, in response to a young white male asking why there is no white history month, “For the same reason there’s no Straight Pride parades or Not Having Breast Cancer Awareness Week.”


One day at work last year, I walked into the classroom of a colleague who teaches U.S. History. I noticed that she had done some new classroom decorating, having put up a massive collage of pictures on the long, thin bulletin board that runs along the top of the whiteboard and across the entire front wall of the room. I was immediately taken aback by the sight. What struck me was the glaringly obvious, and overwhelming, presence of white males, with maybe a mere one or two white females, and a single solitary picture of Martin Luther King Jr., and no indigenous people that I noticed.
I could not hold back my shock, “Whoa! What is that?!”
My colleague, “American history.”


I chuckled, “No it’s not! I mean, it’s a small piece of American history—American history through the lens of the imperialist white male.”
She agreed, and retorted, “It’s American history according to the New York State Regents. This is what they have to learn to pass the test.”
Having just this week proctored the U.S. History Regents, also having read every single word of it because I facilitated the special education “read aloud” accommodation, I am very aware of the white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchal bias in the New York state standardized test. To be fair, I also know that New York schools are not the only ones where these circumstances exist, and it is through this particularly prejudiced lens that most American children in a vast majority of public schools learn about “American history.” This reality is even more striking and tragic in schools like the one where I teach, where the vast majority of the student population—above 90%—is black.


In this “American history,” fore fathers like George Washington are taught as heroes, yet the fact that President Washington inherited his first ten slaves at the age of twelve and had three-hundred slaves living and working on his property—one-hundred of them being his own personal slaves—at the time of his death, is rarely to never spoken about; racism deniers would probably argue that “he treated his slaves well.” Whilst at the very same time, in many American schools, American heroes like Malcolm X, Nat Turner, Angela Davis are taught through a filter of predisposition that they were villainous, or evil, or “violent;” Martin Luther King Jr. is safer and more acceptable to teach because he preached and acted in nonviolence in his opposition to a racist, government-instituted system that was directly hostile and violent towards him. Oh, however, it is perfectly alright to celebrate, and revel in, General George Washington’s violence during the American Revolutionary War. “American History.”


It is true that no telling of history is told without bias. Be that as it may, we have also been told, by Winston Churchill, that “history is written by the victors.” So, in a land where the Declaration of Independence was written by wealthy white men, during a time when it was perfectly and lawfully acceptable to own African human beings, and deny the rights of women, indigenous people, and people with disabilities, it is important that we continue to question the mirage they posed as “reality” when they wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”


I understand at this point that the majority of people still reading and entertaining this post are the choir, and I am preaching. Nonetheless, if there are any Caucasians still reading who find my words difficult to swallow, ridiculous, angering, or even downright absurd, I would ask of you, please don’t become an inadvertent satirical statistic and continue to ask why “there’s no white history month.” Take a moment to research and think outside of the white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchal paradigm we find ourselves in. Understand that the very definition in the truest etymological sense of the word dominance is “to have power and influence over others,” and acknowledge how these institutionalized systems of domination have affected all of our thinking and being.

Well, as Tim Wise effectively put it in his lecture Pathology of White Privilege (http://thoughtsofbrown.com/2011/12/09/tim-wise-the-pathology-of-privilege/), “We don’t have white history month because we have several. They go by the names of May, June, July, August, September; pretty much any month that we have not designated as someone else’s month, that’s white history month. But we take it for granted, because we don’t have to know other folks’ reality. That’s a privilege.”
Many white males—and white people in general—”don’t understand” this concept because nothing in their lives has ever caused them to have to understand it. They live blissfully unaware of what it might be like to live as a member of a group that is completely disenfranchised by the institutionalized systems of domination that they have been conveniently a part of since birth, yet they often adamantly, and pompously, attempt to invalidate the narratives of individuals from those disenfranchised groups when those individuals speak about injustices they face. These particular white folks are unmindful to the fact that, when white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchy is the “norm,” it would be absurd to have designated days or months or events celebrating it, because every day is in fact a celebration of these dominant cultures. As one Twitter user (https://twitter.com/BIade_Runner) put it, in response to a young white male asking why there is no white history month, “For the same reason there’s no Straight Pride parades or Not Having Breast Cancer Awareness Week.”


One day at work last year, I walked into the classroom of a colleague who teaches U.S. History. I noticed that she had done some new classroom decorating, having put up a massive collage of pictures on the long, thin bulletin board that runs along the top of the whiteboard and across the entire front wall of the room. I was immediately taken aback by the sight. What struck me was the glaringly obvious, and overwhelming, presence of white males, with maybe a mere one or two white females, and a single solitary picture of Martin Luther King Jr., and no indigenous people that I noticed.
I could not hold back my shock, “Whoa! What is that?!”
My colleague, “American history.”


I chuckled, “No it’s not! I mean, it’s a small piece of American history—American history through the lens of the imperialist white male.”
She agreed, and retorted, “It’s American history according to the New York State Regents. This is what they have to learn to pass the test.”
Having just this week proctored the U.S. History Regents, also having read every single word of it because I facilitated the special education “read aloud” accommodation, I am very aware of the white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchal bias in the New York state standardized test. To be fair, I also know that New York schools are not the only ones where these circumstances exist, and it is through this particularly prejudiced lens that most American children in a vast majority of public schools learn about “American history.” This reality is even more striking and tragic in schools like the one where I teach, where the vast majority of the student population—above 90%—is black.


In this “American history,” fore fathers like George Washington are taught as heroes, yet the fact that President Washington inherited his first ten slaves at the age of twelve and had three-hundred slaves living and working on his property—one-hundred of them being his own personal slaves—at the time of his death, is rarely to never spoken about; racism deniers would probably argue that “he treated his slaves well.” Whilst at the very same time, in many American schools, American heroes like Malcolm X, Nat Turner, Angela Davis are taught through a filter of predisposition that they were villainous, or evil, or “violent;” Martin Luther King Jr. is safer and more acceptable to teach because he preached and acted in nonviolence in his opposition to a racist, government-instituted system that was directly hostile and violent towards him. Oh, however, it is perfectly alright to celebrate, and revel in, General George Washington’s violence during the American Revolutionary War. “American History.”


It is true that no telling of history is told without bias. Be that as it may, we have also been told, by Winston Churchill, that “history is written by the victors.” So, in a land where the Declaration of Independence was written by wealthy white men, during a time when it was perfectly and lawfully acceptable to own African human beings, and deny the rights of women, indigenous people, and people with disabilities, it is important that we continue to question the mirage they posed as “reality” when they wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”


I understand at this point that the majority of people still reading and entertaining this post are the choir, and I am preaching. Nonetheless, if there are any Caucasians still reading who find my words difficult to swallow, ridiculous, angering, or even downright absurd, I would ask of you, please don’t become an inadvertent satirical statistic and continue to ask why “there’s no white history month.” Take a moment to research and think outside of the white-supremacist, imperialist, patriarchal paradigm we find ourselves in. Understand that the very definition in the truest etymological sense of the word dominance is “to have power and influence over others,” and acknowledge how these institutionalized systems of domination have affected all of our thinking and being.


Read some James Baldwin.


Happy Black History Month

MLK would've probably hated this shit, tbh. He preached equality, not special recognition.

Yup. Relegating your entire culture/struggle into one random month is stupid. Until you are just dedicated to equality and not viewing things as separate but equal, you will continue to have issues.

Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is "ridiculous."
"You're going to relegate my history to a month?" the 68-year-old actor says in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" to air Sunday (7 p.m. EST). "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."

Damn - just read this post. If it's true, here is a man that gets it. Echoes what I was saying.

Suppression of our emotions would end inequality or at least reduce a lot of it. We associate our feelings and emotions to behaviors and physical characteristics. Need to stop doing that shit.
