I agree with all of you and your comments. Why must Black History month be taken away because certain people don't appreciate what it signifies for us as a community? Black History Month is not just for Black people. It is for all people. I think people (White People in particular) fail to realize that without a lot of Black Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526408.post-66852724368164553402007-02-15T12:09:00.000-05:002007-02-15T12:09:00.000-05:00Just dont hurt nobody today daez LOL!Just dont hurt nobody today daez LOL!Bygbabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06265764779873436485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526408.post-64674530502743586762007-02-15T11:33:00.000-05:002007-02-15T11:33:00.000-05:00Well said Aulelia & Creyole!

So when Lisa was like there is no English/Russian history, I was like she needs to get a grip. You can pick up any History book & see how little Black history is infused, which is a problem. If you are going to teach about history, you need to tell the whole story.Bygbabyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06265764779873436485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526408.post-27514901091718300892007-02-15T10:26:00.000-05:002007-02-15T10:26:00.000-05:00I agree with Audelia, well said my sister!I am sic...I agree with Audelia, well said my sister!<BR/><BR/>I am sickened by the narrow minded people that fight positive black folks.

It should be here to stay until the curriculum's fully include black ethnic history. <BR/><BR/>This woman is an absolute idiot. The blood of Afro-American slaves created the US. African slaves and Indians forced to work for the British Empire ensured that Britain owned 25% of the entire world in the early 20th century!
