Share your favorite stories regarding people of African descent here! Nelson Mandela is a great man.
oh man was I tempted to post "lol who cares" I guess things are better. While I don't agree with segregation slavery when it was legal was quite important to the South's economy. On a sidenote, it's not cool what people did to the African Americans in the areas on the East Coast, cheating them out of money.
I'm black halfway down, so I celebrate Black History Month every year. Also, when I was 6 (A.K.A last year), I took a ride in the back of the police car because I ran away from home. The Cop who drove me was black and taught me about how running from problems don't solve anything.

Black History is month is bullshit. Where is Asian and white history month? Where is Jew history month? It was only 70 years ago when the Holocaust happened, I don't see any remembrance for that.
Had a black friend in Junior High. Never talk to him anymore, though.

I personally wonder what America would be like if our founding fathers had banned slavery U.S. during the 1700s.

Every month is white history month; you just don't realize it because you aren't a minority on the outside (or you're naive). And for the others: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_American_Heritage_Month[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Pacific_American_Heritage_Month[/url] I'm glad some Facepunch users are reacting exactly how I thought they would be reacting.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;27807748]"My favorite black person is Nelson Mendela"? You sound like you're talking about action figures or comic books.[/QUOTE] I don't mean for it to sound that way.
Black History Month is the shortest month on the calendar. Coincidence?
