Black History: The Path We Tread

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

If we seek ONE LOVE why hold up 1 color or 1 group?
Is there a White History Month?
White Entertainment Television?
The White Music Awards?

Those ideas are as racist as a Black History Month.

I LOVE all the colors in GOD's crayon box and no color should be set aside or make itself standout above or away from other colors if we all seek ONE LOVE.

BHM can be looked at in two ways- your way is one of them.

I'm not African American, but I think BHM serves as a reminder to America of the contributions that AA's have made to this country. If our history books gave our school children more than a chapter on the achievements made by black Americans, I'd say we could scrap BHM. In all honesty, any kind of "month" is kind of like giving a handout to a culture.

If schools weren't forced to observe BHM, many kids around the country wouldn't know who George Washington Carver or Frederick Douglas is. Until our curriculum is rounded, BHM is quite needed.

I learned about those great Americans years before any BHM was ever thought of. I learned of them in the white bread south in the 1960-70s.

African Americans are 12% of our Nation. Hispanics are 25%
Should we now give them 2 months for HHM?

Eskimos get 3 days of EH3D
