Maybe you should try speaking in the house instead of hiding behind a name critiquing.

Great job Mrs. Outerbridge – beyond the naysayers you are doing good.

Because for some reason, Bermuda tries to piggyback on every American concept without consideration of the fundamental differences in our makeup.

There’s no reason that a country with a majority black population, should subscribe to this one-February-a-year focus on black history. Should be a year-round initiative, perhaps.

As a young black male, it still baffles me that Black History month is celebrated for only one month, and coincidently the shortest month of the year. We should celebrate it all year round by learning about our heritage and teaching it to our children. Also, why do we continue to be fooled into thinking that slavery and the Civil Rights Movement is actually our only contribution to history? In school we are taught nothing about the Moors, the Ancient Egyptian and Nubian empires and other civilizations along the Nile, along with numerous other great black civilizations and cultures. If we knew from what greatness we come from, we would be less likely to disrespect ourselves.
