Black History Month: Resolve to fight REAL racism in Kentucky and EVERYWHERE.

I am not one to get overly excited about Black History Month (but here are some unsung heroes). Don't get me wrong, I think it is important to celebrate and teach others about the achievement of Blacks. However, I just don't believe that the history of one race and the contributions made by that race of people to the "formation of a more perfect union where justice is established and all men are created equal" should be compressed in, and relegated to, one month (the shortest one of them at that!). One does not have to be Einstein to observe the bee-hive like activities to celebrate the month of February as Black History Month. Then afterwards, Blacks are back to being relegated to obscurity for the next 11 months -- until February rolls around again for another "celebration". So enough with the charade already. Let's resolve now to celebrate Black (and other race's) history EVERY day of EVERY month of EVERY year. Then we can reserve the energy spent for Black History Month to fight the REAL reason Blacks face a lot of obstacles in our society: REAL racism that has continued to maintain a life threatening stranglehold on many of us, both here in Kentucky (as in EVERYWHERE), such as is described here by Karen Smith.
