O.k. in case you haven't heard Adrianne Curry made a comment about not having Black History month and she got some serious backlash for it. I personally agree with what she said, I don't think that there should be a Black History Month. Why should we as a people celebrate a history and culture that is so beautiful and vast in one month? I believe that it should be renamed from Black History Month and just be called American History. Why do we continue to segregate ourselves from the rest of America? America does not stand for White nor Black, it represents freedom and diversity; and I believe that Black Americans have contributed just as much to America as White Americans. So why should we have to learn about the very history that makes America what she is in one month and call it Black History Month? It's time that our schools teach History in it's entirety and not offer you an elective course on Black History while American History is a requirement and does not entail Black History. I do not and will not limit Black History to one month because everyday, all 365 days,a Black person has contributed to America in one way or another. And I will share a history fact everyday in my blog. If people take the time to listen to what she was saying and not just assume since she's white she's wrong and has to be racist. Open your mind people and start listening.....God gave us two ears and one mouth so we listen twice as hard as we speak....
I am interested to read the comments that will be left for this one, I might only be 24 but my momma didn't raise a fool.....Knowledge is Power people.....Knowledge is Power.
