I don’t know if I should celebrate BlackHistoryMonth.

I know the struggles African Americans went through in America but at the same time I don’t really know if I should include myself in it

what if this month is only for American Descendants Of Slavery

Black in America.


and what do we Somalis have to do with it

I think it is an important thing however, I personally only consider Black people to be those taken from Africa and sent to the Americas and because they do not know their ethnicity they are simply know as Black.
And no somalis don't really have anything to do with it much like the rest of Africa as I feel like this is only a black American/Caribbean thing
