Hello Loves,
I have been reading articles about people having mixed feelings about Black History Month. Some say that we should not have a month dedicated to Black History because Black History is apart of American History and should be celebrated all year long. Others say that this is the month dedicated to Black History and we should take this month and teach all that will listen all about Black History in this month especially. I have mixed feelings as well about this subject because I have mixed feelings about "History" all together. I enjoy doing research and learning about things that have happened and could happen in the future but the documentation of history is a scandal, in my opinion. The scandal is all of it! Who wrote it? Who is this history benefiting? Why are we not questioning things in history? I feel now that we are all able to access the marvelous world wide web, we should all do a little research and find out the real truth of our history. I keep saying history and not Black history because I believe everyone is involved in every one's history in some way or another. We should not shade one race, culture, or religion from history, but embrace one another and the things that make us different but the same; human. Human history needs clarity is all I am trying to say and the clarity should not be monopolized by one race, culture, or religion. How do you feel about the situation?
