You have it backwards...actually the reason for black history month is to make everyone aware of the history of what black people have went through to get where they are today and to maybe present role models so the kids of today will be inspired to do better in the future. Now, I don't think only blacks were invited, I think that you might have read that in. Whites are typically more than welcome to join, but most of the time they don't because they think it is only for blacks....go figure, right? So now, we don't have a white history month because most of our history books are only about whites, therefore, is there really a need? We do however have Asian Pacific events for Asians. But, to answer your question, yes, it is allowed and I would highly recommend that you go. That way you might be able to see and understand a little of their history. They might even have some really good soul food there that you might find to be worth your trip as well.

If that is how it was posted - only inviting black students, I think that was wrong of them. Black History Month is for everyone to learn and recognize the accomplishments and the plight in black culture,
Asian History month: May
Hispanic History month: Sept 15 - Oct 15
Italian History month: October
Irish-American History month: March
American Indian & Alaska Native Heritage Month: November
I'm sure there is more!
(The last time I checked, Italians and Irish were catagorzed as white).
Do your research.

OK I just had to put my 2 cents in after reading Dons answer I happen to think the black club idea isnt bad depending on what the club is supposed to do. Does it teach heritage, language, history? It should really be called the African Club. Kinda like a French Club. If thats what they are teaching. As far as no tother races being involved is just plain dumb. I know if I tried to start a caucasion club it would not go over well at all. Probably end up with all sorts of KKK crap sent to me. I dont and never will understand why people insist on seperating each other. Therre is nothing wrong with learning about heritage but it should include everyone interested in learning. As far as Dons answer it takes more than the wildwest,jellybeans and cats to make a person feel bad about theemselves. I WILL NEVER STOP TRYING TO SCREW IN LIGHTBULBS!!!! even though every one says It takes 3 of me :)

We have one month and the whites have the other 11 plus the rest of the world to do what ever they want with and I have to say that they are doing a great job of destroying everything in it right now, so please let us preserve our 1 month (shortest month out of the 12) and enjoy it. Thanx

Sounds like racism to me,If there was the same thing inviting only white people i would look at that as racism...So i guess that it would work both ways...

You can thank political correctness, liberals, and the NAACP.
