BLACK HISTORY MONTH
HOW CAN WE ALL BE EQUAL
WHEN WE KEEP CELEBRATING
DIFFERENCES?

In these modern times one has to wonder why we are so confused.
How can on one hand, society force us to accept concepts/ideologies that go against our common sense and rational thinking and make the claim we are all so equal, yet on the other it celebrates obvious differences?
The news release it read:
Every February we celebrate Black History Month, a time when we honor the significant contributions Black Canadians have made and continue to make in our country. This is another opportunity to appreciate, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau often says, that diversity is Canada's strength.”
One has to question the validity of the claim we are all equal when we have such division within equality. The questions comes down to are we truly all equal? Are we all prejudice and or bias and in part is what makes us so equal?
Is the celebration of one race’s achievement over another in itself wrong prejudice/discriminatory? This brings to question and to the realization that we all are the same under humanity but share different characteristics of equality.
If we entertain the fallacy then we must bring to further question the reasoning/logic of celebrating achievements base on color of skin.
After all the celebration clearly states BLACK. Not browns, yellow, red.
Are we to set a side for the ‘BROWNS’, YELLOWS, REDS in society. If so are we not being prejudice by isolating a people based on race, color of their skin?
Society is a system in place much like the Internet. Set forth for the general public in order to inform each other. But much like the Internet. Society has become tainted by popular thought, science, religion and government. All being piped out at us behind storm after storm of agenda based controversies. In part moulding our thoughts and opinions. Sublimenly, controlling our thoughts, choices and quality of life.
We believe what we hear not what we know based on common sense and experience. We hear what we want to hear in order to validate our confusion. Our intellect is nothing short of a skill that allows us privileges above others. We are confused by choice as have surrendered the ability to rationalize. To use common sense and to appreciate reality for what it is.
Raw and unfiltered. Modern society is so filtered that it has lost it’s essence. Social core values have deteriorated to the point that all it takes is an act against a people to spark violence in our street. Humanity has been filtered to the point that the irrational is rational and what was once deemed rational is now nothing short of insanity.
Personally I believe we are all special with special talents. Our forefathers achievements are exactly that. Our forefathers. Now note that in my quest to understand and in order to validate the fact we are all equal. I did not distinguish between forefathers as they all played their significant role in shaping history. If this is how society should act in the inclusion of equality and diversity. Then I ask again. Why do we celebrate ‘BLACK HISTORY MONTH’?
