Reading the meltdown of the "national african american history" thread is amazing,
"...the...
...the NAAH month?"
"I really wish I could say I was surprised."
"I don't want Trump changing shit."
"President Bannon probably told him to do this so that it would drum up controversy and make black people and liberals look unreasonable to his racist base."
"Keep it black. I ain't fucking with this "America" shit since the fuhrer took charge."
"Black History Month was fine. If there were going to be changes, perhaps Black American History Month would've been better."
"
My guess, downplay examples of international black excellence. Begin to silence the voices of those around the world while consolidating things here."

"Trump hasn't earned the credibility to make this change."
"Trump, like most people with no passing interest in people other than himself, assumed if you're black you must be african american. Changing the name is ignorant at best, insulting at worst."
"Trump overcompensating again. trying too hard to not sound racist but sounding the opposite."
"This new name is quite a mouth full and doesnt flow as well."
"This narrows things down to African-American culture, instead of Black culture the world over. And yes, there are significant people and events in African-American history, this will unfortunately focus Afro-American's history to events related to America, not its cultural ancestry to Africa, and to other notable events and Black people the world over.
This is more America First bullshit."
"Just from my time on gaf it really seems like Black is the preferred way to refer to Black Americans and that African American is generally frowned upon. Am I wrong?
Either way, why the fuck are you touching this Trump?
If it needed to be changed Obama would have done it. Trump just showing he knows more than the actual people would. Cool."

--intermission of someone pointing out that Obama used the same nomenclature-- (it didn't matter)
"This pig just wants to own everything"
"Trump changing things overall makes me anxious. He's not a compassionate man."
"Don't call me African-American."
"So Obama changed it and Trump is trying to take credit?"

"And when you start reaching that point of research, their skeletons start tumbiling out of the closet, hence the focus on America only."
"I Don't Give A Fuck what consensus he came up with.
Don't touch NOTHIN, Trump.
Goddamn, leave our month alone!
Donald Trump done fucked up and turned it into BLACK History Year.
I'm getting t-shirts made."

"Goddamn Donald Trump is like somebody's bad ass kid!
Don't touch NOTHIN!
You not even hungry! You just ate!
You just want it cuz you see it, huh?

Ugh!!!!"

"Black is a dirty word for him? And it's not up to him what the black populace wants thier history to be known as."
