The school says the month is an "educational project" exploring how the "construct of whiteness" creates racial inequality.http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=7174

"whiteness"what a load of bs.getting sick reading this.
Calm down, Hitler.
You think he's still alive?
Hypocrites, LOL!People on GetBig have complained for years about Black History Month. Finally get your own and aren't happy, LOL!
Not so fast, Black history month is to promote contributions by black people to the US, not to find "alternative to black culture". This is what happens when people have to much fucking time on their hands and nothing constructive to do with it.
Was sarcasm.
