Black History Month

Black History Month, n.

1. A sorely needed opportunity to raise awareness of the history of black Americans among people of all colors.

2. The shortest month of the year.
Black History Month is important not just for Black people to understand their own people's centuries-long struggle for liberation, but for all people to recognize the problems that institutionalized racism and skin color privilege has caused and continues to cause in American society.

Black History Month

A month devoted to African-Americans. A month that is well deserved. Some White people get angry because Blacks get a month all about them. Well, they really shouldnt because White people get all the rest of the year. In school, we learn about history. They should just rename is White history, because that is all we learn about. White people. I think that if someone is mad that Blacks get ONE month, they are very selfish. Black History Month is just the price that Whites have to pay for their ancestors being racist!
Black History Month, the one month that we get to learn about Black History in school!

Black History Month

A month when non-black people are reminded that Black people aren't unproductive. We're black everyday. Besides, technically everyone in the world is black since civilization started in West Africa and spread across the globe before the continents broke apart. Stop being racist because we're all black anyway. Gosh
Black History Month Fun Fact: You wouldn't even know this, but Dwayne Mc Duffie, a black animator created Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Ben 10.
