Black History Month

[ngman7]

February was Black History Month. Did y'all do anything special for it? I read a book on slavery.

[Lost-Chances]

I used coal as soap and oil for water to wash with for the month to see what hygiene was like in those days.

i had KFC.

black history month is always confusing me, because the television advertises it in other months as well but doesnt tell you when the month is. so im led to believe that every month is black history month

[Trooper7]

I painted my hands black so when I look at them I thought I was black. that was fun

[DroopyA]

Not shit. I found that once you exit public school, nobody cares about Black History Month.

I'm slowly starting to think that it was created by a 4th grade social studies teacher as an exucse to have somebody else generate their lesson plan for a month.

Seriously... why seperate the blacks by race in history class? For equal rights? Blah, a tad bit hypocritical is it not? It's like saying Black People arn't good enough to be taught side by side with the white man so we segregated them into their own month...

get to the back of the bus blackie... and don't come back until February!

I went about my days the same way I always do, not caring about something that happened 2-3 generations ago!

[HomicidialFrog]

Sounds to me like another way of separating History because of Race. Although there not trying to be racist, that sounds very racist.

I was serious. I was going to read some Sudanese literature when I had the chance since an anthropologist told my mom her black African lineage is in Sudan, but I didn't have enough time.

Feb. had 29 days this year-it's a leap year.

Answer me this: Why do you care? We are free of racism, that happened IN THE PAST. There is no reason to celebrate, I'd be okay with ONE day like the other races, but no, they get a month. Trust me, I'm no racist, but I hate this month. It's pointless.

And there are 30/31 days in every other month.

Nope, nothing, I don't suppose it's a globally reoccuring holiday. :/

Welcome to 2009... 2008 was a leap year.
And 29 days still makes it the shortest month... o.O

[BioEthanol]

I gave up lynching.

[chaw]

I celebrated by getting closer to my black friend.

naah, not really.

[LOLZILLA]
