LANSING, MI – Austin Chenge, a Republican candidate for Governor in Michigan is an African American who wants to abolish Black History Month, calling it unfair and offensive. What he wants to do instead is rename it to “American History Month”.
“I will cancel #BlackHistoryMonth in #Michigan. It’s offensive, unfair, maybe illegal… Americans from all backgrounds deserve a revered history. I’ll declare American History Month. Austin Chenge, #Veteran & First #Republican Gov #Candidate for MI. Visit http://austinforgovernor.com,” Chenge said.
Leftists in the U.S. Government objected to Chenge’s message.
“The only offensive thing is the audacity to campaign on something you know you have no business campaigning on,” said left-wing socialist Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
