Not at all. I am white, and what I would really like to see is history books re-written to reflect what really happened - so that ALL of our history as Americans, regardless of our ethnic backgrounds, is together in one book - the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's certainly okay to be pround of your heritage, but we wouldn't need a special time set aside for the history of any one race in our country if the history was taught correctly in the first place.
Little kids learn about Harriet Tubman and a select few others for about a week in February, but nobody ever talks about how the first successful open heart surgery was performed by a black American surgeon in 1893 (Daniel Hale Williams). To find out things like that, you have to go digging a little deeper. We shouldn't have to dig for this kind of info - we should have the opportunity to know it from the elementary level.
Yeah, I know, this whole corrected history thing is a pipe dream, but we can all dream.

I don't think it's bad... it's completely up to you on much you want to celebrate it. It's just on the national/federal level, Black History Month is February.

No! Black history should be as much a part of our lives as other history. I wish for a time where there doesn't have to be a special time set aside to celebrate things like that because we all know all there is about it.

We celebrate Black History Month whenever we get onto a bus and there are black people sitting in front. We celebrate when we go see a black doctor, a rapper or diva that makes more money than a country singer could ask for, and when my daughter has all different mixes in her classroom, without racial slurrs. That is when I celebrate, even though I'm almost pure white.

Well if you like history so much, just enjoy all the good things that have happened in history whether the people are white, black, or yellow!

No, why does there have to be a "black" history month anyway ? Why isn't there an Asian history month too ?

well it shows me that you are not focused on your heart, instead focused on your body.
we are not black, white , nor anything. these bodies are just bodies. Which are used by us to take action in life.
skin colour is just skin colour, yet if a person celebrates there skin colour all the time, then how will they know to celebrate what really matters, which is love.
