I don't see why Black History gets a whole special month when white/yellow/red gets nothing? (Especially Red!) I think I'll just stick to treating them all equally all year round, thanks

As long as you're treating all men equally - I've got no beef with you Mr. Bazu!!!

We have it over here as well. I'd like to think you have white history month as well? If you do, then fine but I somehow doubt you do.

I agree with Mizen & Neko on this.
Its like the MOBO awards and any other similar events - if we were to have a MOWO awards there would be outcry!
I treat everybody as equal, but i dont celebrate the fact i'm white and have a white history because i'd be accused of being a racist!

Sure we do that'd be the other 11 months of the year & don't even get me started on February being the shortest month of the year and all!!!

Come on fella, you know that's not the way it works. I wouldn't mind if perhaps they had an African history month, British history month and so on. It's the fact that they decide to celebrate a particular colour of somone's skin. I don't see how events like these help racial equality.

Sad isn't it, it'd be the same over here.Sure we do that'd be the other 11 months of the year & don't even get me started on February being the shortest month of the year and all!!! Don't give me that rubbish. Come on fella, you know that's not the way it works. I wouldn't mind if perhaps they had an African history month, British history month and so on. It's the fact that they decide to celebrate a particular colour of somone's skin. I don't see how events like these help racial equality. They should have Months to celerate the other nationalities I agree, we'd probably run out of months though & have to start doubling up. That's when you'd see some racial tension now wouldn't it. I can see it now June is Jewish / Persian / Germanic Month.

Like I say, I don't see why they need one particular month. Why not just include it in the school syllabus and leave it at that, like everyone else's history? (Again, except the native Americans! I like that they don't kick up a stink about it, mind We manage to cover 5000 years of history in reasonable detail, and we have 2 years' less school-time than you guys - surely you could figure out how to fit your 500-odd years in, covering everything? (I say 500-odd because you were initially found by us in 1492, after all!)

(I say 500-odd because you were initially found by us in 1492, after all!) Actually we have World History, American History, State / Regional History.......... so I think we got your 5000 years + the other 500 covered!!! American schools run from 5 to 6 years of age (1st grade) through 17 to 18 years of age (12th grade). Then there is College or University (4 years) Masters Degree add another (4 years) Doctorate Degree add another (4 years) 24 years of schooling IF your lucky enough!!! ;D

Must say why do people feel the need to impose their creed on others. Whilst I think it's important to be tolerent etc., I just don't see the need!
