Marxist approach

O nce we enjoyed two national holidays in February, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Both were recognized for their lives, accomplishments and each as President of the United States.

Their observance days were combined and placed at the end of February, now calling it “Presidents Day.” Were two days of observance too disruptive for national productivity?

Even though February still observes St. Valentine’s day, the entire month has been designated to recognize Black history.

Today, socialist Democrats falsely claim that America is “systemically racist”, demanding equal outcomes without achievement, to prove their virtue. Some schools embrace ‘antiwhite’ racism for admittance and in courses, forgoing merit, to right wrongs that do not exist. Schools indoctrinating students leave them woefully ignorant.

The earliest societal success of a black American begins with Mathias de Souza who was elected Representative to the Maryland Assembly in 1641.

Sousa was described as “mulatto” (of mixed African and European descent), working as an indentured servant for Fr Andrew White, a Catholic Jesuit priest. His indentured servitude ended in 1638, then working as a freeman as a fur trader and mariner.

Everyone should read the biographies of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver. Both of these great Christian Americans enriched America.

Comparing Great Britain to America, James Townsend, the first elected black English politician, was Lord Mayor of London in 1772–73.

Jean Gregoire Sagbo is the first black elected (2010) to office in Russia. Sagbo has expressed annoyance at being referred to as “Russia’s Obama” merely because the two are black.

The malcontents would make Americans the “bad guys”, teaching their bigotedly misleading history in our schools today. Why? Their Marxist approach is for agitation, teaching their history to create conflict, their modus operandi to gain power.

Knowing history makes it harder to be led astray. Richard Skidmore Lancaster
