Ok we're in another February. Black people, and a few whites are posting Black History facts and quotes by notables.
Now why don't we do this year round?
Trust me, even with how divided our country currently is, you would not be offending someone. Matter of fact, it's a good way of blending and even mending. Black History is American history, period. Same as Native Americans, Hispanics, Europeans. We're all a huge melting pot.
I am not gonna go even half Stacey Dash and say the month should be thrown away (well maybe Valentine's Day but that's another post). However we shouldn't look for a day, month or even year to celebrate something of great significance.
People get too much into trends and get things twisted way too often. How about just posting and celebrating when you want, and not when your calendar and friends decide so?
One thing we have to remember as Blacks and Americans: we are free now. Despite any controversy, we are FREE. Therefore, free your mind also and post when and how you need to.
I look forward to these riveting posts on March 1 when I return from my cruise. February just isn't long enough anyways.
