Black History month

I have no problem with Black History month because every month is white history month, dude- it wasn’t until 1926, 150 years after the Declaration of Independence that Negro History week, known know as Black History month began.

Dr. Carter G. Woodson, son of two former slaves earned his Ph.D. from Harvard. The scholar was disturbed to find in his studies that history books largely ignored the black American population-and when blacks did figure into the picture, it was generally in ways that reflected the inferior social position they were assigned at the time. Woodson, always one to act on his ambitions, decided to take on the challenge of writing black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and a year later founded the widely respected Journal of Negro History. In 1926, he launched Negro History Week as an initiative to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history.

Woodson chose the second week of February for Negro History Week because it marks the birthdays of two men who greatly influenced the black American population, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln

So if one is of the Caucasian persuasion, I’d enjoy the view. The first 43 Presidents. Domination of the media. All but a small percentage of college football coaches, despite the fact most players are African American. White history- it’s what’s for dinner.
