And I remain on the record that while it doesn't bother me, I don't think "Black History Month" is a good idea. It isn't a good idea because it reinforces people seeing people as black first, and Americans second. It should be the other way around.
The history of the black race in America should of course be part of AMERICAN history, and presented openly, honestly, and fairly with all the good and the bad. But we need to stop emphasizing dividing people by race and rather focus on treating skin color as of no more importance than hair or eye color.
