If the problem is actually fixed, the achievements and contributions of blacks can be recognized all year long, not just in February.
I've been on this thread since page 2. I asked a pretty simple question, why you didn't give me a simple answer is a mystery to me.

I didn't see any point in repeating Morgan Freeman's point when I provided the link to the video.
Well both Wallace and Freeman were wrong; there is a Jewish Heritage/History Month, it's in May.

I agree that so-called "Black History" should be part of American history. The facts point out that the achievements and history of Black people in this country were confined to MLK Jr., Georg Washington Carve, maybe Booker T. Washington, and some blurb about slavery.
The so-called "Black experience", as well as the "Native America Indian experience" in this country is a pretty unique and unparallelled experience and their history as well as a achievements in this country should be showcased.
Yes, it could be all year long but that doesn't happen, does it?
We already went over the MLK crap...google the beast as saint. She loved it.
Therein lies the ignorance. Every culture has their own achievements, has made their own contributions to society. The kind of pride you are describing is elitism, as if to elevate yourself above anyone that doesn't share your particular heritage. That's bigotry.
You won't find me arguing with you on that point. Not one bit.
Where do you see me downing another ethnicity because I celebrate my own? If I said Blacks were superior to whites then I would understand what you are talking about. I would be no better than the people that have hidden, omitted, and lied about history to justify themselves. Thats not elitism. Thats confidence.
So what's to be proud of? Somebody that you share a genetic similarity with accomplished something... you didn't do it. They did.
Hey, I'm proud to have two hands. So therefore, anybody else that accomplishes something that has two hands now feeds my own pride.
Makes total sense, doesn't it?

Yes, and that is a problem that should be addressed head on, by demanding changes to curriculum, not making an excuse for such teaching to continue by setting aside one month of the year.
If the problem is actually fixed, the achievements and contributions of blacks can be recognized all year long, not just in February. How is that less desirable than having a single month for such recognition?!
Hubert Harrison was an immensely skilled writer, orator, educator, critic, and political activist who, more than any other political leader of his era, combined class consciousness and anti-white-supremacist race consciousness into a coherent political radicalism. Harrison's ideas profoundly influenced "New Negro" militants, including A. Philip Randolph and Marcus Garvey, and his synthesis of class and race issues is a key unifying link between the two great trends of the Black Liberation Movement: the labor- and civil-rights-based work of Martin Luther King Jr. and the race and nationalist platform associated with Malcolm X.

I'm proud I share a genetic likeness with those people. If you want to be proud you have two hands then thats your prerogative. It wouldn't bother me at all. It makes sense to me. Does that make sense to you?
this nations [sic] citizens are dumb enough as it is. .

The KKK will tell you themselves they are racist, they pride themselves on it. You are the dumbest motherfucker on this site hands down.
