Happy Black History Month! The month we just emphasize black people’s accomplishments 10x more than the rest of the year.

There are many non-African Americans that question why there is a black history month and not a white history month. Why should there be a white history month?

Yes, white people do extraordinary things but they didn’t go through half of the things black people had to go through to be able to do anything.

Black people literally had to fight and even die for their rights. What time in history did white people have to fight for their rights?

Yes, ordinary women today are still fighting for women’s rights to have abortions or gay/lesbian rights to get married. However black people had to fight for basic rights. Black people were treated so poorly they weren’t even treated like decent human beings.

African Americans making accomplishments is such a big deal because we have to work twice as hard as the next person. It’s not easy for us to get into schools, get jobs or even be invited to organizations. There are many white people who can just go to any school because they have the money for it.

Black History month is the least America can give to black people after the decades of hardship black people went through. For those people asking why black people get a month, it's rude so keep your comments to yourself.

To all the white people who helped African Americans during the Civil Rights movement, you are appreciated. To the white people who are still standing with us today in hopes for a better tomorrow, thank you.

To all black men, boys, girls, and women: you are strong and we have come along way but we still have a little ways to go. Let's keep fighting for equality.
