It's February 17th, and I think I just heard the phrase 'Black History Month' for the first time today.

Is it just me, or are others noticing this too?

Has Frederick Douglass commented about this yet?

Well someone should demand some more free stuff because of this.  This is ridiculous

What does "free stuff" have to do with Black History Month?

Absolutely nothing.  Just saying this would the type of the thing some people would try to use to attempt to get something.

Losers? 

To answer the OP, I agree, I've heard of less activities than in years past.

Black dude here.  I'm with Morgan, minus the "stop talking about it" part.  Black History Month is a joke.

The NBA has been on it.  Since I watch, I was aware.

No Google Doodle for it means it didn't happen.

I've watched about 30 minutes of NBA basketball and this thread is the first I've heard of Black History Month.  I also live an area that is about 98% caucasian, so there is that.

I think it's been understated to me since I left school.  It's not like you walk around saying "Happy Black History Month!" to your coworkers every February.  Someone needs to make a sketch comedy with that...

So is this good or bad?

Either way we're blaming Trump right?

I live in Utah now and I'm pretty sure around here black history month is when you remember that one month a few years ago where you saw a black person.
