I didnt know about any of those agencies, but I did know about the Naacp, not sure if i spelled it right.

Dprin, every month IS white history month! Face it, world and American history is whiter than the dumpster behind a paper plate factory. I see nothing wrong with recognizing and celebrating Blacks who played an important role in history. Many in this country want to rewrite and ignore these individuals.

This "reverse racism" argument is getting older than Dick Goddard. Some of you(especially the first commenter) love to cut people down over every little thing. With all the sh** whites put these people through over time, is it really that hard to let them have a history month? Get over it!

PB, i never said there was something wrong with it, once again though, if our GOVERNMENT specified that March was WHITE history month, OMG would there be the screaming.

Why is it that us "white bread" americans can't complain about things that WE see are racist & unfair?

I realy think that black/white history should be taught daily in an integrated text. I know when I was in school, a private, non religious school, we learned the history of black/white/asian/spanish/ect. each day.

i'm talking about children and there are alot of children who don't know about slavery, but not that but other historic things that happened and all the contributions inthe world made by blacks i'm just saying i think it's a shame that we have a month to celebrate these things and people want to take that away, it's already the shortest month of the year!

single, sorry, i guess my comment wasn't clear or you misunderstood it.

i meant the barrage of comments in the past about how every month is white history month. and yes, i think that comment is crap!

history is history. it's not colored. martin luther king was an amazing man, but then again so was abraham lincoln. what difference does it make what color they were?

i get tired of the whole seperate but equal issue. this history belongs to ALL of us & should be taught that way (i believe that it is in most cases).

Yes that would be perfect, as a matter of fact they do call it american history but there is no black history beeing learned along side it, I would love it if everyday we learned about history as a whole and not seperated into groups of race, gender, religion, it sounds good in theory but i just don't see it happening in my lifetime the world is so divided and me as a parent i'm hoping there will be some change for my daughters sake!

single, when i was in school i learned about "black history" (they didn't call it that, it was just history) back in the 70's. if you didn't learn it, or your child is not learning it today, speak up to your school board, if that doesn't work, change schools.

are you sure your daughter is not being taught this? maybe it's just general american history instead of being called "black" history. just a guess here, i could definitely be way out in left field.

let me show you what i see regarding the seperate but equal position in my opinion, from your writings:

"Can you honestly say that people equally have the same amount of knowledge about black history (1) as white history" "great inventions and historical accomplishments in black hitory!(2) In school these children are not learning all they should and for us as a race (3) to have a month that is recognized by all (4) as being a month to appreciate african americans" (5)

i picked up 5 phrases or words that make it clear that even YOU (again, probably without even realizing it) are race minded & support the seperate but equal problems. again, if we are going to EQUALS, then why do "you people" have to have your own month, holiday, etc? who's doing the seperating?

not trying to be racist in this (the use of "you people" is just to prove a point)

"or us as a race to have a month that is recognized by all as being a month to appreciate african americans what's the big deal???"

oh but you DO support it with that statement alone.
