I think every month is white history month. I mean, look at school. Every day we learn about white-history. Now you can't even let us have a month to ourselves? Albeit unofficial, you still get 11. Every month is white-history month.
I don't see how that's true at all. That theory only works when you're in history class, and the topics pertain to European history or American history before the Civil War. "Black History Month" affects everything. Television, magazines, radio. Black History month suddenly becomes about focusing all media and public attention to "celebrating awareness" of black history. No other race on the planet gets a whole month of that.

Like I've said several times in the past, replace Black History Month with Native American History month. Yeah, we have done horrible things to the african people, the oriental people, and various other immigrant groups. However, each of those groups still has a "motherland" and a culture to return to. They still have current-day evidence of their roots and still have a living, breathing place to gain pride from. What to the native Americans have? Jack shit. They've got shitty reservation land and a culture that has been wiped off the face of the planet. They don't have a culture to go back to. The least we could do is give them a fucking month of our attention.
