There is no reason why the history of blacks, or any other minorities, in the US shouldn't be taught in a regular history class. It's clearly an integral part of the social relatons in the US and ought to at least be touched upon during any regular US history course. 
Yeah I agree here. I think it could be a bit more than "touched upon" though.
These history months for races and the like are stupid 
I think the main reason is the history of nonwhites in America and the role they played used to be really ignored. Now it's not as true anymore. For example when we teach the history of California its really impossible to not speak of the role of Mexico and the role of Chinese people and the role of Native Americans. But it used to be that nobody really talked abou it until not too long ago. I guess now that ppl make more effort to speak about it then we don't need it as much.
the people who promote them would better spend their efforts promoting an increased emphasis on these topics in regular history classes. 
yeah you're right.
As the US is becoming increasingly diverse ethnically and culturally, and as more non-European powers are rising to power, the history of non-European countries will become more relevant to the US as the US begins to take on its own form, increasingly separating itself from Europe as time goes on.
True again!

Black history month is the history of a group of people going from nothing to achieving things.
A lot of their "Achievements" and "Leaders" are really fake and bullshit.

I am aware but it only proves that they weren't the first ones to think of it.
Maybe they never thought of it. Maybe they saw it before - and "Improved" on it.
They may have not first invented it, but they created a better version of those things
You may say the created a better version - I may say the old version was better. And a lot of those "Improvements" are one in a hundred. The fire escape, I know, was patented in 200 different ways - how could the ONE made by a Black man be the best? The gas mask is another. People say it was the first invented - which is easily disproven - so they say "Well, it was used in WWI!" In reality, it wasn't. The Americans used French and British gas masks (being new to poisonous gas in warfare they were more advanced).

Sure you can say that the old versions are better. Though it is close to fact that they advanced these inventions for the better if not invented. Besides there are many other black inventions that are not a hoax =/ Unless of course white people want to claim credit for them in the future......
