You know it would be OK until they had a "white history month", then there would be an uproar.

You are the first person to state this. Ever.

I just finished listening to the Atlantic R&B Collection from start to finish. So I get a gold star for Black History Month and now have to follow up with a mandatory refresher in women's equality.

Everything I know about women and relationships I learned from Ray Charles and Big Joe Turner.

Nope what I said is most white people get really up in arms about it, if it upsets a person that much, they have some deep seated issues with black people. I'm sure there are plenty of white people who are okay with it and not just because they feel it's PC. And I'm sure there are white people who dislike it but aren't racist. And most black people I know who dislike it, do so because they don't like the hate that gets projected towards them by white people they come in contact with. They didn't ask for a month to be dedicated to them, one which ultimate leads to learning next to nothing about them. But does result in more hate thrown in their direction them by white people in general. So it's pretty much a lose/lose for black people.

I could understand white people getting so up in arms if this month actually meant something. Maybe if black people got to cut in line at the DMV or where ever they wanted for a month, okay get angry. But as it stands so many get angry over what amounts to nothing.

This makes more sense.

I'm sure there's a lot of negativity surrounding it for both sides and only a little positive. I think it's time to put the policy to pasture.
