If you are NOT black, do you and your family celebrate Black History Month at all?

Question

If yes, how do you celebrate? 
If no, is there a reason why?
This post isn’t to bash anyone either way! I am white and I’m just curious.

Answer

We don't celebrate.
Its not our history to celebrate. 
We DO however use this month to dicuss Black History and support the Black Community in their celebrations of their own history and (albeit, limited) freedoms.

Answer

My kids are biracial so yes we do, but everyone should celebrate by educating themselves and their kids on the struggles black people have faced and continue to face.  These poll results ain’t it 😒

Answer

Saying “it’s not your history to celebrate” is insane. How do you expect people to be educated on history if only certain races can take ownership of it and celebrate it? How bizarre. We don’t personally do anything to celebrate it in my family. However, my kids are also 1 and 2 so they’re very young. As they get older we’ll absolutely discuss it and I parent by teaching my children to be kind to everyone. I’m half Mexican, half German. My husband is half Italian and half German. I work with autistic children. It’s engrained in us and our children to treat everyone equally and to embrace differences that make us all unique.

Answer

No.
We aren't black and both my kids autistic.
Right now my youngest doesn't even notice skin color differences he just sees someone to play with.
My oldest is really blunt so I explained to him not point out skin colors and not point as that is rude. Thankfully he understands now.
It's also not our culture and they will learn about it in school better than I can explain I'm sure.

Answer

If you're not black, it's not your history to celebrate. You can show support as a non black person, but why would someone whonisnt black celebrate black history month?

Answer

I’m white and do but my husband and kids are black. I take it upon myself to learn black history so I can also teach my kids.

Answer

My family does not celebrate it. I honestly didn't even know there was a celebration for this. I know that at school they teach black history during that month to the kids which I think is great. If I was invited to a celebration of that sort I'd be happy to go. I also don't celebrate anything for white history either. Just the usual holidays, Christmas, Easter, July 4th, Valentines exc.

Answer

I mean I literally only celebrate Easter and Christmas ! No other holidays celebrated for me

Answer

Our family is half Mexican half German so we celebrate in October when both sides of our family heritage are celebrated.

Answer

I learn more about the history. However im on a Facebook message robot thing called "Push black" that gives me random news and history on black culture and history year round.
I also don't have kids im a single woman so its a little different for me.

If you are NOT black, do you and your family celebrate Black History Month at all?
