“#BlackLivesMatter was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin's murderer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted for his crime...” “Rooted in the experiences of black people in this country who actively resist our de-humanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.”Trayvon Martin was not murdered. Blacks are not suffering de-humanization in America. Anti-Black racism has not permeated our society. And yet, a mainstream black TV channel is spoon feeding these lies to its viewers. For years, I avoided watching the movie, “The Pursuit of Happyness” the true story of successful black stockbroker Chris Gardner. I assumed the movie was another liberal propaganda film about how America sucks, a white racist country where blacks can't catch a break. After seeing the movie, I was elated that I was wrong. The inspiring movie showed various whites who saw Gardner's potential and desire to better himself and chose to help him. Like Chris Gardner, my life story is full of whites who saw my potential, my desire to better myself and chose to help me. My 7th grade white art teacher met with my dad praising him for supporting my artistic talent. Two white senators and a white mayor of Baltimore awarded me scholarships to attend art college. Right out of college, a white business owner offered me free office space to launch my own graphic design firm. I could go on and on. Have I encountered racism? Yes. But, for the most part, whites have helped me to achieve my dreams. Of course there are evil, jealous and racist people out there seeking to crush dreams. However, there are plenty of good people willing to help those who are willing to help themselves; education, hard work and right choices. If only Black History Month focused on promoting this truth. It would really empower blacks and help heal the racial divide. Sadly, Democrats, the MSM and far too many black power brokers equate racial authenticity and loyalty with feeding into the destructive false narratives that blacks are victims and should resent white America. This is why I am not a fan of the way the Left celebrates Black History Month aka Annual White America Sucks Month. Lloyd Marcus, The Unhyphenated American
