Take a look at this crap from the Guardian...
We write to protest at the slashing of funds for Black History Month by the London mayor (Boris Johnson criticised over slashing funding, 17 February).
In 2009 Boris Johnson praised BHM for its vital work in educating people about the "historical role and the huge contribution of African and Caribbean communities to the capital".
So why is he now cutting its funding to the bone? It is particularly ironic that this occurs in the run-up to the Olympics, with the GLA busy marketing London as a great world city.
We ask the mayor to immediately reverse this ill-judged decision and to restore BHM's funding.

Seeing as our universities and schools are trying to phase out British history and it’s not politically correct to be proud to be white, why the hell should there be a Black History Month?
Someone call the EHRC.
IT’S RACIST!
