I flunked Functional PE three times because I wouldn't write a paper titled My Physical Inventory. Finally I transferred schools for a year and played intramural soccer (badly) That got me the PE credit I needed to graduate.

I personally don't know one that stops and appreciates or changes their own life in any way whatsoever because of BHM.White people that care and want to know don't limit it to one month and those that only care because it makes them mad wouldn't ever learn if it was all year around.
