This is a commonly debated topic. Let's try it out, shall we?
Black History month gets a month to recognize the history of blacks. Does this mean other ethnicities are not of worthy recognition? What of the Chinese? Natives? Mexicans? Does the black race endorse the idea that they have suffered "more" than any other race? Is black history month truly just a month of racial edification?
Why is there not just an "American History" month with emphasis on certain topics? Why cannot history encompass all ethnicities?
I am not entirely sure how to feel on this topic.. but let us try to steer away from competing over ones martyrdom over others.
Now you will likely have a very strong opinion on this, depending on who you are. February spawns lot's of racial discussion, it would seem.
What do you think...?
