Replying to Why does black history month exist?

Serious question that was brought up in one of my history classes today...

why do we have a black history month? Why no white history month or anything to that nature?
Only answer the prof gave to that was that white history month would be racist. Double standards...


So what does NS think? Support black history month or not?

Personally it doesn't really bother me, more just something interesting to debate or think about.
