What do you think of black history month?

I personally think it’s a stupid idea. I hate the fact that people are separated out from the whole on the basis of their skin colour. If we’re going to do that, then what about Mulatto month? Yellow month? Red month? White month? Brown month?

Could you imagine the outcry if a teacher said, O.K., this month we’re going to be focussing on White people and what they’ve done to improve our society. Class, please choose one white person to do an assignment on. The only criteria for the report is that the person must be white and accomplished.

It’s great to explore the wealth of history, but not based on skin colour. How about just exploring great people period?

I refuse to acknowledge black history month. I think teachers who buy into it ought to be ashamed of themselves.
