On Monday evening, Vice President Mike Pence decided to commemorate Black History Month (February) by praising President Abraham Lincoln, the man who submitted the 13th Amendment, ending slavery once and for all in the United States of America. Naturally, this was too much for social justice warriors on Twitter, who mocked Pence for praising a white man for Black History Month.

"As #BlackHistoryMonth begins, we remember when Pres. Lincoln submitted the 13th Amendment, ending slavery, to the states #NationalFreedomDay," Pence posted on Twitter.

Pence wasn't just saying this. February 1 is National Freedom Day, a day commemorating President Lincoln's submission of the 13th Amendment. It also happens to be the first day of Black History Month, which grew out of Negro History week, the second week of February, chosen to coincide with the birthdays ofAbraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. It is arguable that the month, like the week, was chosen for the specific reference to the abolition of slavery, set in motion by Lincoln.

But 2017 social justice warriors don't care about history so long as they can make a point.

C.X. Cope, the founder of Bedlam PAC, a liberal organization which sells "Fruck Trump" t-shirts, tried to give Pence a lesson in race. ".@VP ......he was white. This is BLACK History Month," Cope himself a white man but a Black Lives Matter activist nonetheless tweeted.

SJWs launched a hashtag, #PenceBlackHistory, suggesting that praising Abraham Lincoln at the outset of Black History Month is just as offensive as praising any white person on a month to commemorate black people's accomplishments.

"Black History Month: Let's remember @JoeBiden,first Vice President to a Black President," tweeted Jeremy Bandini, with the #PenceBlackHistory tag.

" In honor of #BHMwe recognize the KKK because without them there would be no Black Panthers," Justin Key chimed in.

"If white people never enslaved you and took your civil rights, then you would have never had MLK and Malcolm X," tweeted another user.
