I thought half the battle against racism was to stop the seperation of races. Giving any race a month seems racist to me. History is history. You should learn about all important events and people in history regardless of their nationality or race.

Please stop complaining and do something. Start lobbying Congress for it. Since Congress is mostly all white males WHM should pass like a shot. I am sure GWB will be please as punch to back White European Male History Month too.

Every month is "Black History" month. Just as every month is "White History" month, or "Asian History" month, or "Hispanic History" month. If we ever set one race over another to create specific rememberance then we cheapen humanity as a whole. To accomplish everything that we have to this point in history requires ALL races of people not just whites, or asians, or blacks... it take us all.
Remember just after 9-11? Remember all the flag waving and pride that welled up in us at that moment in history? I do. I also remember seeing a slogan posted everywhere that specifically defied months that celebrated only black history and celebrated all americans together. The slogan was "United We Stand".
I appreciate all who have contributed to the well being of humanity. Whether you are talking about MLK or JFK or whoever, color didn't make these people great, their heart and vision did. I don't need a specific month to think MLK was a great man... I know he was a great man when my family sits in a restaurant eating dinner next to a family of a different race and neither one notices it.
Acceptance was once the goal and it almost seems like segregation is the goal now. Sad.

This country IS a bastion of freedom... it just gets twisted by those who wish to tear it apart.

It still is a more free for certain groups. Until someone who is not a White Christian Straight Male is elected president without his\her race, sex, religion or sexual preference being an issue, you "if you think there is anything wrong with the US it is you" people need to stfu.

I couldn't have told you THIS topic would turn into a flame fest. 😀
So were you stealing TVs during the rodney king riots? Or were you being "civil" and simply protesting with a sign at the LAPD?

Until people quit using this for a crutch... you are right.
I would like to know when people will quit using everybody else as an excuse for their shortcomings and stand up and be something? Do you think MLK listened to everybody telling him he couldn't make a difference? The answer is certainly no. He understood that to make a difference he had to depend on himself and not wait for somebody to hand it to him. That is why he is certain to be remembered fondly without the need for a dividing month of racial preference.
When do Asians get a month? What about Native Americans? Latinos?
And, one question, why is it politically correct to call black people African-Americans? How many blacks can trace their heritage back to Africa within the last 6-7 generations??
In that case, I'm a Native-American-Welsh-Russian-Norwegian-German-American.
I think Charlize Theron has a greater claim to African-American than just about any black currently living in the U.S. She was born in South Africa, after all.
