This is not true. The original cowboys of the wild west were black. Feel free to look that up.<
The horses they rode were already domesticated.
Had been for hundreds of years.
By others.
Africans themselves had never domesticated horses.
Sorry.
>"No black structure would have ever needed escape ladders if it wasn't for the introduction of other races and their technologies."
That is also not true. You might want to take a moment to do some research on the egyptian pyramids and find out exactly how they managed to get down from those pyramids
<
Ramps, pulleys, cranes and ladders.
Well done... apart from one small thing.
Can you guess what that thing is?
It's a little strand of DNA.
Egyptians and Africans were different ethnicities.
(but there were Africans in Egypt)
>"4)) "Key Chain" Same reason as #1. Without other races, black people would never of had a reason for keys..."
Ummmm, also not true. Feel free to find out how they opened up the tombs of the ancient egyptian pharoahs. They didn't use the traditional keys that we use today but still, the method of locking and unlocking doors applied. <
I don't think I need to repeat myself here....
>Honestly, it just seems to me that you're prejudiced skoe. I could be wrong, but I don't see how people learning about their history is a bad thing. The same concept applies to Independence Day, Memorial Day and pretty much any other day where you celebrate and take time to remember. There are no financial benefits to black history month. There is no donations given to hispanics during hispanic heritage month. What is it all about? It's about unity and cultural education and awareness. <
But Black History Month is just the tip of the iceberg. Remember that this is America we're talking about, the land that goes all in or not at all. For example, there are the Black Only colleges and scolarships, the Black Only Social-Fund (dont know what that is in American).... I could go on, but I have blood-pressure to think about.
>It has nothing to do with you really. You're not black, you're probably not interested in learning about black history judging from your uneducated posts. They also rarely speak of black culture in school. However if it's so stupid, then don't celebrate it. Nobody is forcing you to. As of now, what you're doing is the equivalent of seeing your neighbors having an anniversary party and going over there complaining about how it's prejudiced of them to do so when there are people that are single.
In the simplest way, why do you care what they do if it's not hurting you?<
Tip of iceberg.
If it was ONLY black history month then nobody would care, like in the UK we (sometimes) have Asian (indian etc) history and culture month, or Black, but that's it, that's where it ends, we don't have colleges or scolarships or funding for Blacks only.
We do it by postcode, if you're from a poor area then you may get *some* educational help, but only because you are poor.
