but i have to say that to get to the vision of MLK, we arent gonna get there by seperation by segregating award shows and channels, months and etc, we will get there by bieng inclusive.  Adding more black history into the yearly education curriculum, not relogating it to one moth of the year... honoroing americans year round, reguardless of their color, not seperating them to one month.

The lack of it does not advocate the need for it, black history month should be abolished, otherwise wed need a white history month a asian history month a native american, ethiopian, pakistani ... etc ...etc..

While i read what your saying and agree that there needs change.   But what the black culture is doing, IS seperating itself... instead of bieng inclusive.  

THere are tv stations that cater to black people more but dont have a "black entertainment telivision" name... warnerbrothers network has been running a HUGE line of black themed shows

there are ways to bring these issues to the forefront, but seperating yourselves by color = your segregating yourselves.

My views on it.... at least.

Etchelon: "black history month should be abolished, otherwise wed need a white history month a asian history month a native american, ethiopian, pakistani ... etc ...etc.."

Correction Time:

March - National Women's History Month

May - Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

May - Older Americans Month

June - Gay Lesbian Pride Month

September - National Hispanic-Latino Heritage Month

October - National Disability Employment Awareness Month

November - National Native American Indian Heritage Month

and in 2008, after House Approval, Pres George Bush proclaimed that May is also National Jewish Heritage Month..

Based on these inconvenient FACTS, do you still want to abolish Black History Month, Etchy??
