BHM can be looked at in two ways- your way is one of them.
I'm not African American, but I think BHM serves as a reminder to America of the contributions that AA's have made to this country. If our history books gave our school children more than a chapter on the achievements made by black Americans, I'd say we could scrap BHM. In all honesty, any kind of "month" is kind of like giving a handout to a culture.
If schools weren't forced to observe BHM, many kids around the country wouldn't know who George Washington Carver or Frederick Douglas is. Until our curriculum is rounded, BHM is quite needed.
