its like when kids ask their parents... there is a fathers day.. and a mother days.. but when is the childrens day?
answer is the same, every fucking day is the children's day.
We recognize black history month specifically because otherwise there wouldn't be much attention paid to it.
Also without father's and mother's day, I bet half of the parents out there wouldn't get taken out to a nice brunch or get flowers once per year.. maybe once every few years if they were lucky.
