I realize that February is a significant month for historical events in African-American culture, but I still think celebrating Black History Month during the shortest month of the year is a disservice to Black history (especially since it helps perpetuate the “Blacks are insignificant” stereotype).
Personally, I think Black History Month should be October – a 31-day month that is already celebrated as such in the United Kingdom. (Who says Black History Month has to be just about Blacks in America?)
And remember, Bart _is_ 1/64th black (“The Color Yellow”)…
I am 1% African American and one year at school for Black History Month and African American Appreciation Day, my nephew Kane did an oral visual report presentation on Michael Jackson also I celebrate Kwanzaa and African American Appreciation day and Black History month.
In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement the Simpsons announced the show will no longer be using white actors to voice non-white characters in response to Family guy voice actor Mike Henry stepping down from voicing the character Cleveland Brown and voice actor/puppeteer Jayden Libran has been doing Simpsons character impressions and might get a job on the show
