This may or may not be thread creep, but I've been wondering, what with Black History Month going by and all, why certain things are considered heritage and some not. For instance, lots and lots of gospel is sung during our Black Heritage Night - which comes, to my mind, from the WHITE side of the equation, since the slaves from Africa had other religions than Christianity anyway and the Christian part only arose with the mixing of the races and the assimilation of blacks (now no longer Africans) into early American society. They do a lot of "Africa" stuff, which always irritates me as they treat Africa as one big country, and say things like This is the way they dress in Africa (showing something from Senegal which would never be found in Tunisia, for instance), or this is the way houses look in Africa, and other gross generalities. What exactly IS the heritage here? Creep off if it's a creep, thanks.
