Hot Take, But...

Black History Month is celebrated [i][b]because[/b][/i] U.S. schools still choose to exclude the study of contributions by black people (hint: they encompass more than slavery).Are you also proposing that states that observe them cancel Hispanic Heritage Month, Native American Heritage Month, Asian and Pacific Islander Month as well ? Can we cancel the observation of St. Patrick’s Day and Columbus Day once and for all, too ? As long as we cover it all in school ? 🤔

Sure why not black people have been part of this country since before it was a country.
It’s way overdo.

Definitely

Black history is not the history of America. The view of the history that is taught in American schools systems is ultra narrow and was declared canon by people who poured their selection of vintage history through a very, very narrow funnel. Out of a masterfully hand crafted bottle that very few "true blooded patriots" even have the pedigree required to afford such righteous status.

Women,blacks, indigenous were not even recognized as people that could become a citizen. So not being a citizen you can not lay claim to a history that doesn't recognize any contribution to "their"/ the future.

So who is the celebration in recognition of?
My sperm donor is black and my birth mother was born on an Arizona reservation.
My brother and I were given up for adoption from day one.
Our mother died giving birth to my brother.
We were raised in a black household by two people who worked extremely hard to earn the reward of the right status to live and raise their two adopted (status bonus) half breed sons in a white society. Educated in fine white schools in suburbia. Far enough away from those inferior "urban" black schools.

Why would I wish to recognize the HUGE indoctrination of separation of white history from all other history? There by separating from my own beginning.
Twice!

No, just as you are proud of your racist white forefathers who murdered Native Americans in the name of G-d and enslaved blacks, we are also proud of our African Americans who have made great contributions throughout history. To give African American youth "a sense of pride" is the reason African American educators proposed black history month in the first place. It originally served to educate African American students about the vast contributions their progenitors have made. As the famous quote by Marcus Garvey goes... “A PEOPLE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR PAST HISTORY, ORIGIN AND CULTURE IS LIKE A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS.”

Then u will b called rascist
