Hello, Alexis. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it is very important to celebrate Black History Month... and it's just as important to learn, reflect, and acknowledge the struggles and triumphs of persons of color in the eleven other months of the year.

What is the “true history” of America? Is there a false history? And who decides what’s true or false? That being said, shouldn’t we learn about the history of people of all colors and their place in the history of America?

But i bet you dont know anything about Ruby Ridge - people like you feel selective value when it comes to learning and so-called "history". You see truth as subjective - just another dime a dozen dummy that doesnt understand learning from indoctrination.
