i still believe, in this day and age, that we have to be cautious about some of the things we say about some black people because many of us can take it personally. black history month is not a dedication to black people in america. it is a month in which everyone has an opportunity to learn about black culture from somewhere other than the schools because so much has been omitted from textbooks.
and the last time i checked, Irish folks got the month of March (and have since '91)
hell guide dogs got a month too (september)
to round off the year we have Indigenous Indian & Alaska Native heritage month in november
what gets the most publicity is Black History month. why? because people are always complaining about it and wondering why white folks don't get their own month.
as far as i am concerned, they had a month that lasted well over 200 years. i think they can share the calendar a bit.
just my opinion
