    Actually people are forcing black history on white and other races. In public school around the state teachers are making their students dress up as a "famous" black man on certain days. Thats not right, If I had kids I would tell them to dress like rodney king and write "Beat Me" on my forehead with black marker.

    I DO NOT agree with black history month whatsoever.
    If ANY ONE wants to know anything about blacks and history, Google that ****. Don't devote an entire month to preaching about it.

    Lets take God out of schools and just talk about black history.....Somethings not right there. I'm not a religious person, The majority of america is though.

    lol no

    Teachers can not even devote 2 days to even cover things like black history month or anything that doesn't show up on State test anymore, because the curriculum will not allow it.

    I actually wondered when you would put your 2 cents on this topic. So you do have a problem with students being forced to dress up like famous white ppl, right?

    The only schools that I have seen to really recognize BHM, were majority Black schools and even that only consisted of two assignments on the matter and having to hear about a famous black person over the morning announcement

    Boo ****ing hoo.. "I'm being forced to learn another culture" Why not take a page from their book then and boycott school? I mean obviously your view on black history is hindering your ability to learn so why even go?

    I said I wouldnt respond but its just too tempting. In school we had to learn the Diary of Anne Frank front and back. Being in Alaska we had to appreciate Native Alaskan Culture and I am a better person for it. I'm sure if you live in south texas you learn about Mexican American history.. as in Hawaii you learn about the culture of pacific islanders.

    Its called expanding your mind and if you care not to do that then you are the epitome if ignorance being bliss. Black history does play a role in how this country was formed.. its also a great measure of how far the U.S has come along. Black history is not only about "African Americans," many whites played an intricate part of the movement as well.

    Some of you who claim to be so intelligent (OP,RedGT, others) amaze me with your follower mentality. I'd be more impressed if some of you could form your own opinion and make a thought proviking argument rather than repeating what you've seen on tv or read on a website.

    Nah I've respected what you say. Even if I don't agree I will respect someones opinion but when people start repeating what they see on Fox News, or hear on Limbaugh or Hannity and cannot put together their own thought and rationale.. thats just plain bull****.

    Does it matter? You said it yourself, "who gives a fukk if there is a bhm?"

    Hmmm. I'm quoting Maniac as the person who answered my question directed at Tony. That's weird. Later, QD.

    I didnt disagree with what you said.. I guess I just take a different perspective. True it should be who cares? But I tend to care to be enlightened and I think the citizens of this country can do a lot more if they were educated theirselves.

    I don't understand the notion of dismissing knowledge that helped form this country, especially when we are living through a great mark in history at the moment. And I'm not just talking about black history but Latino's, Whites.. everyone.

    Hold up, now, man. I see where you're at now. You misunderstood my point. My "Who cares..." comment was in reference to all those (white folks) who make it a priority to complain about BHM. Not in general about who cares. I was asking those people why they care so much and that if they didn't like it, find something else to do. Later, QD.
