Why not just condense it into a single day, then? That way, maybe I'll be able to get an extra day off of work every year.
Either way, Black History Month seems a bit unfair to me. What about Hispanic History Month? Asian History Month? White America has treated them just as badly.
One way or another, there is one specific group that truly deserves a month dedicated to their heritage. Native Americans. Why should the month of February be delegated to black people? We didn't invade africa, steal the continent and demolish African culture. We destroyed every facet of Native American culture that we could get our hands on. They have no "homeland" to return to, and only scraps of their heritage left to revere. White America has made Native Americans into a novelty, a cute stereotype while forcing the remaining numbers of their population into foul, squalid reservation lands. There's not a race of people on this planet that deserves a month dedicated to their heritage more than the Native Americans. Black History Month is unnecessary, because you at least have a motherland to return to.
