My thoughts exactly.
I, and a lot of other people I'm willing to bet, had never even heard of that history month before.

At my high school, I remember each February our English class would read something like Uncle Tom's Cabin or another book like that and the halls would be adorned with posters of inspirational blacks and our teachers would always dedicate a good portion of our class to discussing it.

We need to stop acting like we're indebted to black people for something we're as responsible for as the other blacks of this generation. I really don't see it as solving anything.

Learning the history is the extent of it IMO.
