Black Erasure 

<description>&lt;p&gt;Today we explore the hot topic issue of Black History Month, and how some people seem to think that it is &amp;quot;outdated&amp;quot;. We have 2 experts to discuss: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr. Kaniqua Robinson is an applied cultural anthropologist &amp;amp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr. Grace Gipson an assistant professor in the department of African American Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond, VA).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We review what social media &amp;amp; public opinion consider Benefits and Setbacks (pros &amp;amp; cons) to having Black History Month. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Benefits: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knowing the  past ensures that history doesn&amp;#39;t repeat itself &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Black History Month helps combat white washing of history &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Filling in the gaps where education curriculum is failing &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shows role models of greatness highlighted for our youth &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Continues the legacy of black icons &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Set Backs: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corporate Black History events &amp;amp; Companies profiting from BHM (Walmart, Bath &amp;amp; Body works) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Too much history to be condensed into one month &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most History is about slavery and civil rights our history is so much more vast &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Woke White folks alleviating their white guilt &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only hear about “the good ones” Martin, Harriet, Rosa. What about Malcolm, Fred Hampton, Nat Turner &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;No year long reinforcements to restricted to the month of February &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
