How the Myth of Black History Month Is Further Dividing America | Ep 613

With each progressing February, Black History Month becomes less and less of a celebration of achievements and more of a month-long forum for black Americans to air grievances and unleash their anger.

That’s why Jason says Black History Month is a myth that fuels further division in this country.

In just the first few days of the calendar month, Jay-Z used the Grammy stage to complain that despite holding the record for most Grammys ever, his wife, Beyonce, has never won Album of the Year.

The New York Times sparked outrage with Shannon Sharpe and other black media members for referring to a “fade” haircut as a “Travis Kelce.” This is what Black History Month has become.

It has programmed black people for anger and a need to find offense.

It's programmed us to seek empathy and pity at every turn, and so people run around not feeling any gratitude for the right to the freedoms of being an American citizen.

First lady of “Fearless” Shemeka Michelle joins Jason to discuss the black history myth.
