It's pointless. We don't have Asian, Hispanic, or dare I say, [i]Caucasian[/i] history month. Why are black people getting special treatment? Because of something that happened 300 years ago? Sorry, we had civil rights and the abolition of the slave trade. It's time to move on and start treating everyone equally, which is a two way street by the way. And by that I mean not putting anyone up on a pedestal and giving them special treatment, regardless of race, gender, creed or religion etc.

Isn't white history month every month in America? You guys tend to freak out at the idea of people not being white and existing in your country.[spoiler]the reactions to the coke commercial is a good example of this[/spoiler]

What? Actively celebrating the history and achievements of the white race? Can you imagine the reactions if that happened? I'm actually fairly liberal when it comes to these topics, but if you take a step back and look at it objectively, black history month is a bit of an inconsistent pointless double standard.

No, idiots tend to freak out. But black history month is still not necessary. They want equality, yet we have to hold them up higher during a month? That's not equality.

No, it's implied that supporters of BHM believed that it was unequal before the introduction of BHM, and now it's equal because BHM exists.

300 years or 50 years?
