history and, therefore, a past. In most boroughs it's Black Demir Leather History Day or Two'. And in others it's 'Black History Money Can't Stretch That Far. Sorry.'

There are many successful black people who have contributed a lot of things in our society. It is only rightful to acknowledge them. We at Secrets of the millionaire mind felt the need of this kind of event for black people. It's just sad that most people only remember them when they hear the word 'slavery'.

Black History should relate to black achievement, and should not lay its sole emphysis on slavery. Ater all, black people long existed before slavery, yet there is hardly any materials about those achievement. Whilst it is important for people to learn about slavery, it is equally important to show our achievement in ancient times as a race.
I would further argue that with so many wealthy black people in this country, its about time they put themselves forward and do something meaningful for the black community and we should stop expecting hand-outs from the government. Hence, there is no respect and never will, because those who're in a position to help are too wrapped up in buying their new cars, jewellery including other women outside their race. The Black footballers are a prime example - certainly a real disappointment to many.

What do you mean BHM on the cheap? Black people are always waiting on handouts to fund ventures that concern them. We wait on welfare benefits, council house etc . Its sick. Stop it Adebyo. Then when the local government give them this money they often squander, embezzle or mis manage it. Black people are among the biggest consumers in world today. We have to have the best designer clothes, leather sofa, flash cars etc. So why can’t we contribute and fund and promote black history month. We are good at promoting concerts nightclubs, raves etc. The Asian community never wait on hand out to hold their cultural events. Where is the black sustainable community in Britain? No chance for black people are too busy spending their money with the Asians and the Whiteman and everybody else BUT black businesses. If a black man has a hair and skin product shop, black people would walk past it to buy from the Asians selling the same products for 50p cheaper. THAT IS WHAT I CALL CHEAP Mr Adebyo
If we want a BHM to be proud of then we should pay for it and then we might cherish it. Stop blaming the council and everybody else for our failures. The black man worst enemy is himself, we are the cause of our own shame. As soon as we accept that we might begin to get somewhere so please Stop, it stop it ,stop it, I say stop it Mr Adebyo

ignorant fool

Most black people in this country and highly concentrated in very small geographical areas.
It makes sense to have black history month represented in those areas so the black people can learn about their history.

Im white and I live in an area where I rarely see a black person. Over here I have never seen anything to do with black history. I guess nobody here would really be too interested in something so unrelated to our lives.

Perhaps the taxpayers in each area should vote on this issue.
