Young America’s Foundation Discounts Black History Month

Thank God that Black History Month is the shortest month of the year, for only God knows what a leftist would do if he had an extra three days to work with.

  • In what has to be the most egregiously biased commemoration of Black History Month, the University of New Mexico allotted the entire month to celebrate the Black Panthers' 40th Anniversary.

  • Going the direction of conspiracy kook, Tennessee State brought Dick Gregory, who claims that the CIA knowingly allowed minority neighborhoods in Los Angeles to be flooded with crack cocaine.

M-1 refers to America as "Amerikkka" and believes in a "conscious world wide struggle with decisive victory won in the area of defeating capitalism and imperialism which is our main enemy." "Where I’m coming from," says M-1, "the critical part of revolutionary struggle is concerned with taking power out of the hands of people [whites] who stole it from us from all these years and returning back those resources."
