Draymond Green recently sounded off on why he thinks Black History Month should be done away with in favor of teaching black history year-round.
Green made the point during the Warriors post-game presser following the Tuesday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He started by asking, "Why we gotta keep getting the shortest month to celebrate our history?"
Draymond followed up with, "At some point, can we get rid of it?" According to the 4x NBA champion, there are politicians actively trying to stamp out any attempt to teach black history in schools while simultaneously relegating the celebration of black history to the year's shortest month.
"I’m not going to be the fool to say, 'Yeah, we can celebrate it for 28 days,'" Green said. "So at some point, I’d like to get rid of it. We're making all these changes in the world -- can't talk about these people. Can't talk about those people. Can’t say this. Can’t say that."
"At some point, it’s time to get rid of Black History Month," Green reiterated. "Not get rid of Black history, like they’re trying to do. But Black History Month? Nah, teach my history from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, and then do it again. And then again. And then again. And then again."
