And what about Native Americans loss of civil rights at the hands of European settlers? Why does the history of a certain race in America have to be singled out when it still makes up the history of America as a whole (and considering we spent a ton of time on slavery and the Civil War already). White history was a major aspect of our country, and yet the only reason we don't have a white history month is because there's nothing to feel sorry about for whites. White history is American history. Black history is American history. Why are we trying to separate the history of blacks in this country from every other part of this country's history?
To me, black history month is about politicians throwing the likes of Al Sharpton a bone.
