I like Black History Month, it's fun. I agree with 500nets, about the orgins, and Thanksgiving. Plus, in history and social studies classes in school, white history pretty much dominates. You learn about how America started, the pioneers, the heros of the day, and the history up to now. I'm guessing everyone had the same basic schooling on that, we all know who George Washington is, and so forth. Mostly white, so white history is not forgotten. And I think they do have a month, or something, set aside for Hispanics, and women, etc. I'm not certain. But it's no hardship to set aside a month for African Americans, considering that school does teach about the white history. And Thanksgiving. Not being racist against anyone, no offense to anyone. I'm mixed and very proud of it, so Black History Month figures into part of my heritage.
