Black History Hoax

February, as many of you know is black history month. An extremely deserving month to say the very least. African-Americans went through so much toil and strife throughout all their years in American history that frankly they deserve half the year. But, somehow, somewhere the holiday makers went astray. Why did blacks get the shortest month of the year? Which leads me to another question, why are there so many months with 31 days, yet Feb. Is stuck for eternity with only 28 days, or maybe 29, if they are lucky. Why doesn't August step it up and hand poor February a day, I'm sure it would suffice with merely 30. Anyway, enough sidetrack, back to black history month. I know that maybe when black history month was created, there wasn't much black history to speak of because of all of the horrible past, but now, black history is very rich and needs more than just 28 days. Not only are the amount of days in the month the smallest of the year, but there are many, many distractions in the month of February that supersede the black history aspect. Right from the start, boom, Groundhog Day, big distraction, it tells us about the weather, very influential (ugh, hate that day). Then somewhere in the next few weeks, bam, Ash Wednesday, maybe not a national holiday, but still, lots of people celebrate it. Not too soon afterward, wabam, Valentines Day. How are we supposed to celebrate black history with all the roses and sunshine getting into the way. Oh, no, but that's not all, just as the dust from Valentines day settles, LOOK OUT, cuz here comes, Washington and Lincoln's birthdays, two more days of distraction. And, those are two days that of course get mentioned in the scheme of holidays, but there is still a separate day, Presidents Day. So, three of the 28 days in February are dedicated to Presidents that died in the 17 and 1800s. But I guess it all doesn't matter because the home stretch of February is an unadulterated week of non-holiday bliss for African Americans to enjoy their history. I suggest that black history month be changed to a month with at least 30 days and only 1 holiday per 10 days. Well, with that being said, I'm white and I guess it doesn't really affect me. The end.
