First, to answer the question. I think the month should be abolished. Just as I think Hallmark created a ton of bogus reasons for us to celebrate all the worthless holidays they have tried to invent. History cannot be changed although there are many people of many races and religions that are probably embarassed for actions of all sorts from previous generations. Yes, I have white skin but how many folks realize that history in Rome suggests that most of the people (which happened to have white skin) were homosexuals. All of us might have heritage that puts our family tree square in the middle of dick suckers of the world during that time. Who knows. Rome fell. Did it fall because of skin color? Did it fall because of all the dick suckers? Who cares. It takes all kinds of people to co-exist in today's world. Yes, I'm a little older than a lot of folks on IA but I respect everyone as to their right to be a human being. It's very easy to generalize about things when a common identifying characteristic exist. The whole black/white or male/female arguments are a big waste of time. Everyday I depend on good people of many different backgrounds as most everyone else does too. The sooner we all decide to quit rehashing history and begin to plan the future, the better we all will be. Personally, I always felt that history in school was a big waste of time. Would it not have been better to spend the time on something that would prepare us to make a living rather than sleeping through a history course. Think about this, if history wasn't offerred as a course in school, what would history teachers do to earn a living? Answer: They would starve since they offer nothing of importance to any of us. Just my two cents. However, if we have to hate on something, couldn't we all agree that Hondas suck? Thank you.
Wouldn't it make more sense to judge people based on their character as opposed to their sex, race, or religion?
