Oh yeah, i forgot to mention about black history month.
IT'S STUPID.
Why?
I'll tell you.
After all the accomplishments we as a people have made, why just take a month to focus in on, celebrate and all of a sudden give a damn about them?
February rolls around..."Ooh, its black history month! lets learn about the contributions of many great black people!" But, when march comes..." Well, thats over, lets talk about thomas edison creating the lightbulb."
guess what, a black person discovered tungsten, a vital component to the lightbulb.
which also aided in the creation of the stop light, ALSO created by a black person.
so to Carter G. Woodson, the person who created black history month, WHY SO GODDAMN SHORT?!
We should celebrate it every god damn day of the year. AND IF YOURE GOING TO CELEBRATE, QUIT TALKING ABOUT THE SAME PEOPLE!!!! Crack open an african american history book and learn something new.
I'm done.
