Yes, but as Malcolm X said (paraphrasing), "recognizing our heritage in a natural way based on the communities belief"

I live near Chinatown. No one forced them to celebrate the Lunar New Year. No one forces Italians to recognize their heritage at the San Gennaro Feast.

Black History Month is America's command and culture over black history and culture. It's jim crow lite.

Black people have a rich history and culture that should be seen as American history. Squeezing it into 28 days does nothing but show how little respect this country still has for black people.
