If this time were spent listing the contributions that blacks have made throughout history in the fields of math, science, medicine, architecture, engineering, literature, etc., it would collapse to the "Negro History Minute".Ignorant comments like these continue to prove the need for Black History Month.

Black History month is divisive horseshit! I would feel the same for any other monthlong celebration based on one's race or gender.
Damn, I forgot, March is Women's history month. Well, this gives me a reason to look forward to April.

If you don't like BHM then don't have anything to do with it. You'd try to sell ice to an Eskimo.
I'll let you go. You're slow-pitch softballs are starting to look like beachballs anyway.

LOL - I was explaining to my 11 year old daughter this weekend why there can be a Black History Month and that's OK but if there was a White History Month that would be racist. Of course, then I had to explain why it's a Hate Crime if a white person kills a black person, but it's not a Hate Crime if a black person kills a white person.
Poor kid - she just didn't understand.

The jive talking affirmative action promoted "brother" that I worked for wasn't the main reason I took the early retirement option. He did help me make the decision. His hatred for the white man dripped off of him. Its Ford Motor Company where white men over 40 still don't stand a chance.

Has it outlived it's usefulness?????????Please explain! Usefulness????? Does garbage have a usefulness sitting stinking in your can? Does dog do-do have a usefulness adhering to your shoe?? Does underarm odor have a usefulness on a first date?????
What the hell ever happened to Asian History Month? Tibetan History Month? Afghanistan History Month??? Start a White History Month and see how fast your house is burned down!!!
I put up with Black Math, Black English (don't axe me!) and Black Science. All I can say in response to this retardness is Your Mama's Mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rap at the Olympics! God save us all!

I'll let you go. You're slow-pitch softballs are starting to look like beachballs anyway.It boils down to this: those that want to deal with BHM will and those that don't want to won't. I'm not attached to what people do with or about BHM.

That's good- many whites have had similar experiences at HBCUs. It's only the reverse of what most blacks experience at non-HBCUs.

Has Black History Month Outlived Its Usefulness? Along with multi-cult and environmental religion, Black History Month is displacing reading lessons. So, no, BHM hasn't outlived its usefulness in propagating the next generation of illiterate dependents.

Ain't it just like "the Man" to make Black History Month the shortest month of the year. I'm talking about the same man that made the black keys on the piano shorter than the white ones.

I'm still waiting for White Southerner Month. Hey, many of my ancestors were primitive folk, and some were ever oppressed! Or is that appressed? Quite a few of my ancestors never made much money, and perhaps half of them were women. Some were even Native Americans (but they were of tribes that sold out to farming and making money). SOme got appressed by the British! That is, white men were appressing them!

Hey, blacks have contributed much more than the traffic light. Other invention that come to mind is the paper bag and the self-adhesive stamp. I've also heard rumors that it was another black man who invented the left-handled cup (in contrast to the cup with the handle on the right side), but I can't confirm this one. Judging from their music and their movies, blacks also believe they invented sex.
Some also believe the parents of Jesus were black. I was given a Christmas card one year where Joseph had a full Afro and looked similar to Bill Cosby in "Uptown Saturday Night". The card-giver noticed my look of surprise and said "They were Ethiopian, you know."

Has Black History Month Outlived Its Usefulness?Not for liberals. Liberals must divide and generate hate and waring factions to stay in power.
You will never see this as a front page question in the Wash comPost/NY Times...
