Is Black History month necessary today?
From Wikipedia: [quote]In 1976 as part of the United States Bicentennial, the informal expansion of Negro History Week to Black History Month was officially recognized by the U.S. government. President Gerald Ford spoke in regards to this, urging Americans to [b]"seize the opportunity [u]to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans[/u] in every area of endeavor throughout our history."[/b][/quote]Today, do you think that we are able to properly observe African-American achievement throughout US history without the use of Black History month, or is a month designated for observing African American history in our country still necessary?
If you're not American, then sorry, you don't exist to me in this thread.

6 RepliesIt's pointless. We don't have Asian, Hispanic, or dare I say, [i]Caucasian[/i] history month. Why are black people getting special treatment? Because of something that happened 300 years ago? Sorry, we had civil rights and the abolition of the slave trade. It's time to move on and start treating everyone equally, which is a two way street by the way. And by that I mean not putting anyone up on a pedestal and giving them special treatment, regardless of race, gender, creed or religion etc.
