I'm not challenging his research at all.  I didn't even read it.

I'm challenging you to provide any kind of evidence to support your conspiracy theory.  I have provided you with much evidence to the contrary.  1) He apologized for his actions 2) He got his job back 3) His research is still available on the Harvard website.  All of that pretty much invalidates your conspiracy theory.  Do you have anything to defend yourself?

I stand by my assertion that he was punished for his views, and once he demonstrated the correct amount of contrition for daring to produce facts that refute the liberal religious tenet of "the world is racist" he was given scraps of his former life back.

This is a demonstration.....he was punished for speaking truth and opposing the edicts of liberal religion....

1893: Daniel Hale Williams performs the first successful heart surgery.

The patient, Chicagoan James Cornish, lived for 20 years after Williams performed the life-saving emergency surgery. Before that feat, the good doctor founded the first black-owned hospital in 1891, Provident Hospital and Training School for Nurses, which was also the first interracial hospital in the U.S.

1965: Sonja “Tee Tee” Johnson becomes the first woman to sell 100 dollars worth of food stamps for fifty bucks.

Bayard Rustin (1912-1987)

Dr. King is usually credited for the March on Washington in August 1963. But it was Rustin who organized and strategized in the shadows. As a gay man who had controversial ties to Communism, he was considered too much of a liability to be on the front lines of the movement. Nonetheless, he was considered to be one of the most brilliant minds, and served his community tirelessly while pushing for more jobs and better wages.

Claudette Colvin (1939- )

Before Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955, there was a brave 15-year-old who chose not to sit at the back of the bus. That young girl was Colvin. Touting her constitutional rights to remain seated near the middle of the vehicle, Colvin challenged the driver and was subsequently arrested. She was the first woman to be detained for her resistance. However, her story isn't nearly as well-known as Parks's.

This post demonstrates that racism is not just an important part of our history; it’s still around.

You have no idea what the word "racism" even means anymore, do you?  You've been indoctrinated just to call ANYTHING "racist" if it doesn't fit your master's narrative.

GTFO, Tim.

So you're on the record stating that posting a video of black people fighting in Walmart in a black history thread is not racist.  You willing to die on that hill?

If you can't handle the wonderful diversity and strength black culture brings to a society maybe you need to reevaluate your morals, boyo.

Why do you want to exclude some black people from being recognized during Black History Month?

Why are you defending such a racist post? I don’t think you are a racist yourself (CDub clearly is) but I don’t understand your need to defend them.

History isn't defined as "positive recognition."  Here, let me help you out:

Should we stop teaching about slavery and how America treated Indians in "American History" class?

Black history month is a celebration of contributions that blacks have made to society.  The fact that you're arguing for the validity of Walmart fighting videos to be part of black history month is a clear indicator of your racism.

Do us all a favor and go bump one of league champions "blacks are animals" threads and stay out of this one, kid.

Racism would seem to be the only reason to post a video like that in this thread.

As we've learned recently by the destruction of statues, renaming of historical places, and constant reminder of slavery

You can't separate the good and bad in history. In fact we should focus on all past wrongs more so than the rights. 

This is how your side wants it. Deal with it.

Annie Lee Cooper (1910-2010)

The Selma, Alabama, native played a crucial part in the 1965 Selma Voting Rights Movement. But it wasn't until Oprah played her in the 2014 Oscar-nominated film Selma that people really took notice of Cooper's activism. She is lauded for punching Alabama Sheriff Jim Clark in the face, but she really deserves to be celebrated for fighting to restore and protect voting rights.

Dorothy Height (1912-2010)

Hailed the “godmother of the women’s movement,” Height used her background in education and social work to advance women’s rights. She was a leader in the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) and the president of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) for more than 40 years. She was also among the few women present at the 1963 March on Washington, where Dr. King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.
