If you're black, every month should be black history month, and I don't support white people trying to teach me about my history. Fuck their biased narratives, they always have ulterior motives anyhow.
Yes, it can lead to the advancement of the black race if we actually research how great a people we were and are, and learn from our past successes and mistakes. There's a certain pride and worth that comes with knowing and understanding your history. The same way niggas have pride for their hometown can be replicated with our great rulers and innovators.
With all that said, I don't believe we should solely focus on our history in Amerikka, especially since we're a process in the making. Our accomplishments run deep. Deep enough to start wherever you feel like starting.
