I don't begrudge the African Americans the full month of Febuary. After all they were held as slaves for a couple of centuries, and degraded for decades after that. However... As there is still a governmental policy of finacial/eccological, and culteral pillaging of Native lands and sacred places; being given a simple day is a slap in the face IMO.

However I know that the Blacks started off with a simple day originally that was eventually turned into a full though short month.

Natives are owed a full month of their own I think.

Just my $0.02 anyway.
