I don't know if you have expressed your specific support for affirmative action on this forum, but the fact that you do support the continued existence of black colleges is proof enough for me. Historically (or whatever they are called) black colleges ARE a form of affirmative action.

It's illogical to assume that someone who supports historically black colleges would automatically support affirmative action. HBCUs are not affirmative action- they get little or no special money or programs just because they are black. HBCUs do not discriminate by race- white applicants to them (yes, there are some) get the same consideration as anyone else. Graduates of HBCUs get no special breaks in the job market compared to blacks who did not attend HBCUs.

As long as there are people who believe as you do, Black History Month will always have a usefulness. You need it much more than I do.

Then its going to be around for a long, long time, because there ain't no way that I am going to change my belief that bhm is racist, counter-productive, devisive and just plain foolish.

.... Black History Month will always have a usefulness.

Useful in keeping blacks as victims rather than encouraging them, and everyone, to think for themselves and to just be an American.

You need it much more than I do

For what? To be taken on a perpetual guilt trip by the likes of you and other race baitors?

As long as there will never be an end to it, what month would you suggest be designated White History Month? Hopefully they'll get one of the more important 31-day months.
