Just an idea? :P
The problem is that we're going to get stuff like "why does my history month come up after the Native American History month!!" or "why does my history month come up during the coldest part of the year!!!" and "Why do the Aussies get Deceber!! I want December!!"

I agree that it may just be best to get rid of history months all together. No special events like that.

Man...this thread got more replies then I expected.

But what about all of the other cultes/groups out there. Surely they deserve the same attention. I am not saying that black history isn't important, just not important enough to be the only race getting their month. No race is that special.
