Black conservative Mychal Massie demeaned the month-long celebration of Black History as “an aversion to modernity encourages people to mire themselves in the past” in a column published Wednesday on World Net Daily.
“Public school children will be immersed in a 28-day vat of a factually flawed and at times fictional history of how bad the blacks had it in America. They will hear that whites are privileged and their ancestors had slaves, blah-blah-blah,” wrote Massie, chairman of the Project 21 National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives and member of the National Center for Public Policy Research.
Massie is an ordained minister who spent 13 years in full-time Christian Ministry. He was founder and president of the non-profit “In His Name Ministries” and the former National Chairman of the conservative black think tank, Project 21-The National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives and a former member of its parent think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research.
Massie takes pains to recite a litany of crimes against white people by black people – most of whom have been prosecuted.
“They won’t be talking about the fact that blacks aren’t shot on sight in areas where ‘Knockout’ is taking place,” wrote Massie, referring to an urban crime phenomenon promoted by some conservative media outlets to stoke racial fears.
Massie makes the startlingly racist observation that this inverts an American past when “blacks were barely suffered to walk on the same sidewalk as whites.” He also complains that Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager who was shot to death by a neighborhood watch volunteer who suspected him of criminal activity, will be “lauded for sainthood” while the brutal slayings of two British tourists by a black teenager will go unnoticed during Black History Month.
“You won’t hear that the same black man in the White House, who was quick to stir the caldron of racial animus in the Martin situation, has refused numerous attempts by the families of these two British students, tourists who had wandered into the neighborhood where Tyson gunned them down in cold blood because they were white, to show them a modicum of compassion,” noted Massie, who is best known for his viral 2012 screed, “Why I Do Not Like The Obamas.”
Massie calls to abolish Black History Month, which he said imposed guilt on white students and instead teach students that black people largely responsible for present-day racism.
