Black History Month arrives each February as a vital reminder of African American triumphs that built America, from Frederick Douglass’s abolitionist fire to Thomas Sowell’s intellectual powerhouse challenging victimhood myths. True heroes like Booker T. Washington preached self-reliance over grievance, lifting communities through hard work while radicals peddle endless “systemic racism” tales unsupported by data—crime stats show family structure and cultural choices drive disparities far more than phantom discrimination.
Health gaps in black communities? Liberal darlings like the Washington Post blame “racism” while ignoring fatherless homes spiking obesity, diabetes, and violence—90% of black murders stem from black perpetrators, per FBI numbers, a crisis demanding accountability not excuses. Oz’s Trump RX wisely cuts med prices for all, empowering families to fight real killers like fentanyl floods from open borders, not woke studies laundering taxpayer cash on racial hobbyhorses.
OJ Simpson’s 1995 acquittal exposed media bias and jury nullification, not “justice”—a race-obsessed verdict celebrating a double murderer because he ran from cops, fueling distrust that BLM later exploited into riots torching black businesses. Contrast that with Trump-era lows in urban crime, proving strong law enforcement serves minorities best, unlike soft-on-crime DAs letting felons roam.
Divisive international voices amplify America’s “original sin” to guilt-trip patriots, but real progress flows from MLK’s colorblind dream—equal opportunity, not equal outcome handouts breeding dependency. Sowell nails it: cultures thrive or falter by values, not skin, and black success stories abound where welfare traps don’t intervene.
Black History Month honors resilient achievers who conquered odds without pity parties, urging today’s leaders to reject victim cults for the bootstrap ethos that made giants. Under Trump’s merit-first revival, opportunity explodes for all who seize it—proving America’s promise endures when we celebrate strength over sob stories.
