I don’t really care, it’s good for young people from all races to have positive roll models. I would like to see our country adapting a Native American history month, I’m surprised there isn’t one already.

You anti Black History Month blowhards can blow hard all you want. Black History Month is here to stay and isn't going anywhere.

I have news for you. The Jim Crow Democrats and their teachers unions are STILL placing systemic restraints on Blacks. The proof:

Percent of 12th grade students of each race/ethnicity who are proficient or above, by race/ethnicity group:

Mathematics:

Overall: 26%

Asian/Pacific Islander: 47%
White: 33%
American Indian/Alaska Native: 12%
Hispanic: 12%
Black: 7%

Reading:

Overall: 38%


Asian/Pacific Islander: 47%
White: 47%
American Indian/Alaska Native: 26%
Hispanic: 23%
Black: 16%

National Assessment of Educational Progress - NAEP - 12th Grade Mathematics and Reading

Does anyone really believe that Blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians/Alaska Natives are congenitally that much less intelligent than Asians and Whites? Or are our country's public schools doing a spectacularly crappy job of educating our children - our nation's future - due to widespread systemic institutional racism and only some groups have figured out how to partially rise above that travesty on their own?

I'm not just anti-black history month but anti-any race or ethnic group having a month dedicated to them. We should have an American history month that is dedicated to us all. However, history is taught in our schools so I really don't get the point of that either.

People who are against Black History month are only against it because they are racist.

Thank you. Those who keep on complaining about Black History Month need to answer this question: What else can you do besides complain?

What Most Experts Aren't Telling You During Black History Month. John Azumah explains some nuances that your average European American just overlooks because these are just "Blacks catching other Blacks, they're the same."

Slavery Before the Trans-Atlantic Trade is a good article and paragraph five tells of the difference between the African institution and the European one (which was more Islamic).

Regarding the educational statistics, I agree that the teaching methods can be better. It does start in the home first and I think that we're in a time where information is very abundant and the parents can position their children in a better spot so as to not be too reliant on teachers trying to teach.

That's why it's important for us so-called Black Americans (cringe) to speak on our history amongst one another. That would spark us to overcompensate because we need to get out of this position. I'm not going to get too deep into it.
