Yeah what about Native American history month, white history month, white inventors, innovators and world leaders month? I always wondered about this, seems very unfair and racist for one race to celebrate but not the other?
Depending on where you are, some HBCUs have a good bit of white or other groups.
HBCUs and black frats and sororities were all established because black people were not permitted to be part of the schools/Greek groups with whites. Historically white schools don’t need to designate themselves as such because everyone know at a certain point, non-whites - especially blacks - were excluded.
We still have Columbus Day in many places but the reality is that the whole story about him discovering anything is fabricated. MLK’s work was real.
Why would you complain about Black History Month? Do you complain about German Heritage Month or Polish Heritage Month? Hispanic heritage month? Or all the other heritage months?
The sheer stupidity and projecting is nothing short of amazing.
Wrong. No other "heritage month" is politicized and pushed on everyone to the extent that Black History month is. It's in schools, on TV, and promoted by businesses. The most anything else gets is Cinco de Mayo, mainly so they can sell beer.
Teach AMERICAN history, of all the peoples and cultures and major events. Quit dividing us by groups and work on promoting unity. That's what real inclusion is.
No it isn’t. I’ve also seen Asian-American heritage month celebrations in my area.
Don’t get snippy, you asked, I told you.
Anyway, depending on where you are, (I can’t speak for everywhere), aspects of Jewish history and culture are touched upon year round, and Jewish holidays are observed. How do I know? I was a school teacher for the better part of a decade in an area with a sizable Jewish population.

Wait, a White Inventors, Innovators and World Leaders month?
Really? Have you been outside of the US? What about Canada?
In Canada, thanks to the Quebecois, we have French-immersion public schools, publicly-funded Catholic schools (any other publicly-funded religious schools are not allowed), French as an official language, French-only universities, French-speaking organizations, French-speaking TV channels, Scholarships and bursaries only open to French-speaking students, etc.
But then, so what?
