What I'm saying is that all we hear about Black history is that we were slaves and civil rights. We are apart of the very foundation of this country (forced, but none the less). Black history month is a time when we take to celebrate the accomplishments of our community. We should celebrate this year round, and I do but it's also to educate others who may not know. It's not mandated in school curriculums, and you don't have to acknowledge it. As far as music and the BET Awards. Since you arent old enough (and niether am I for that matter) there is thus invention called Google and you can research why BET was created. You are saying that Luther Vandross, Patti Labelle, New Edition, Chaka Khan, Rick James, werent creative (they were popular around the time BET was created). You got to be about 15. Did you see the VMAs this year? I guess you think that Miley was just being edgy? So many bleeps and boob slips, but BET is ghetto...
