Default Black History Month

In Ipswich public money was used to promote a Black History Month. Correct me if I am wrong but is this not racist? What would have happened if someone had said lets have a White History Month?

Well it would be deemed racist of course! What amuses me about the PC lobby is how they kick themselves in the foot over nonsense like "Black History Month". Mostly the PC careerists are white and middle class and don't realise just how patronising they are to ethnic minorities, and whose behaviour presumably is a form of racism in itself :roll:

Anyway what about Asians (Chinese, Indian etc), why aren't they allowed an Asian History month? Or people of Polish origin, the list goes on?

Next minute the PC brigade tell us they're all British now and equal, which should mean an end to Black History surely ? :shock:

Black History Month seems to be quietly driven by government through the route of Council "ethnic forums" . Funds seem to be made available by government to councils reserved solely for things like this and non white organisations eg a Pakistani society would money but a Polish one wont. You can find out if your local council is making grants like this. Another proposed initiative is to give council procurement preference to non white firms. If your council has an ethnic forum you can demand minutes under the freedom of information act to check what is going on.

In the local "black history month" last year a representative of the Nation of Islam was a key speaker alongside a Tory MEP. The head of NofI is banned from UK for inciting racism. NofI demand apartheid eg seperate black schools and banning of white/black marriages. Under the BHM locally recently the concept of "politically black" was proposed ( mirror image of BNP position ) in the forum in the Council chamber.

Chinese etc will probably be considered as honary black. White minorities such as Polish will probably be excluded from both the BHM benefits and the ethnic forum.

BHM is an example of what seems to be a rapidly developing agenda of racial polarisation driven by government but with councils being compliant. Its a bit tough on the Poles etc but there we are. There wont be a "white history" month for them. One of the reasons for marginalising white minorities is that recognizing they exist will mean admitting that ethnic British exist . The pc agenda seems to push the idea there is no such thing as British. Britain is just a bit of land and we with Poles are just "white" immigrants along side black etc immigrants. Hence the government has now removed the white minority category for statistics reporting . ( though they were too late to stop the data truth of the national census). There are ways of challeging all this but it takes some work.
