Why is this a thing?
I can't think of one good reason for it. Someone care to enlighten me?

Actually, I've never heard of it.. But
Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history.

Because southeast USA. Guaranteed shitstorm if it were to be taken away.
My local news station did a poll and the majority of the people thought that MLK Jr overrated. Welcome to the south.

I've read central role of African Americans in U.S. history and I thought: "Well, that's racist."

Does anyone actually have a valid reason?
Re: Black History Month

It's quite ridiculous to be honest. It's a result of the white people's 'forced' feeling that they should make up for all the crimes they did to the black people. I never follow that reason. I don't feel like current generations can be held accountable for previous generations' faults.

oh the burden of being white and having to live with constant reminders of being descendants
complete manipulative assholes. The white man's burden?
its obviously to rub it into the white man's face that they dont live in a world where they are considered better cause of the color of their skin anymore, and has nothing to do with empowerment.

Fun fact: The slave trade was actually started by black people. Not the other way around.

Black people will continue to be "subjugated" as long as their seen as "different". Black history month only reinforces this. It doesn't help black people out, it only hurts them in the long run.

I dont get it why you need a month to mourn instead of a day to celebrate being who you are
