Black History Month

Why is it called 'Black History Month' Black means void of light why because we are nonwhite this should be voted out because the name Human Race carries more weight Sure, I understand it is a way of denouncing the browner skinned man Why is it there are tanning booths for the lighter or paler skinned people of the world they would rather call us 'boy' or 'girl' Well, the fact remains we are really the majority who else is given one entire month to give high esteem to for the accomplishments of the so-called minority In all actuality every time that you use your dryer thank G.T. Sampson or stop at a traffic light thank G. Morgan you are thanking God Almighty for blessing the person who you call 'black' for the ability to create these valuable worthwhile necessities So, when you hear of someone having an open heart surgery thank the man of the human race with the browner skin for being the first to perform the first one Ah, the victories we have won do not frown do not fret God will get you, yet to admit that deep in your heart we all play a part in the world being 'it takes all kind to make it go around' no one is better than the next however, when you get ready to text think about Mr. H.T. Sampson who invented it for your leisure pleasure maybe even a luxury Or when your horse needs a shoe say a silent 'thank you' to J.
