Black history Month

[Gabu]

I like Morgan Freeman's take on it:

"I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."

He then goes on to describe how he's insulted that black history is relegated to one single month, while presumably, the other eleven months are dedicated to white history.

An irritant to racists, as can be seen from this thread.

Isn't it kind of racist to delegate only one month of the year to black history?  A black man thinks it is.

I would take it one step futher.

There should be no distinction between black and white history.  American history should be fully interwoven, because there can be so segregation of black accomplishments from white ones.

How is this different from what Morgan Freeman had to say about it?

I guess it's mostly the same, but I think there's a subtle difference.  I don't propose that the other 11 months be 'white history' and I don't think they in fact are for just 'white history.'  Black accomplishments and contributions can be woven into general American history that is taught all the time, even if those achievements and accomplishments are highlighted during Black History Month.

Freeman's point was basically just that, if February is "black history month", then supposedly, the rest of the year is dedicated to something other than black history.  Sorry, but you're going to have to agree with a black man, you goddamn racist conservative.

Why does everybody on this forum think I'm Black.

really?

hmm.  syllogism

Black=Kevin
Kevin=non-existent

therefore black people don't exist.   

Either you are a sandcastle with a moat or George W. Bush is female.
George W. Bush is not female.
Therefore, you are a sandcastle with a moat.
